To be broadcast on Rai Tre on Friday 8 November, the initiative involved various professionals from the Air Force, experimental pilots and experts in aerospace medicine, meteorologists and air traffic controllers, for an operational and scientific discussion on one of the most insidious phenomena that can occur unintentionally during piloting, especially for those aircraft with reduced onboard instrumentation, namely the phenomenon of disorientation in flight in conditions of poor or absent visibility, which in technical jargon are called IMC, Instrument Meteorological Conditions.
In particular, the interviews with Colonel Marco Lucertini, Commander of the Department of Aerospace and Space Medicine (RMAS) of the CSV, which during the seminar presented a presentation on the aerophysiology of the human orientation system and the aspects related to flight, and with General Carlo Landi, now retired but already a former test pilot of the Air Force and former director of the Italian Aeroclub, in the capacity of coordinator of the “Flying Safely” project.
