alf5071h,
thank you for your lucid explanation on NDM and the valuable references.
Despite its limitations and lack of acceptance in aviation thus far, I feel compelled to apply Gary Klein's propagated recognition primed decision making (RPD) as a tool for spatial disorientation countermeasure (particularly for the benefit of combat pilots in single cockpit). I need time and patience to prove my hypothesis, since that is one area close to my heart (and aviation safety), but very difficult to substantiate (considering many confounders in aviation).
Propjet88,
you have wonderfully summarised the discussion thus far. While you discussed about single pilot in a different context, I cannot resist bringing in the need for CRM for the combat pilots. Failure of a combat pilot to see himself as a member of the the formation he is flying in, results in precious loss of lives, due to (sometimes preventable) errors/mistakes. Have been advocating CRM for single cockpit (
