Flight illusions are defined as a conflict between reality and brain interpretation. The presented project is focused on studying the effect of vestibular illusions (Coriolis illusion and somatogravic illusion) on pilots. Currently, this problem is studied mainly in military pilots and is hardly addressed in the field of civil aviation. Due to this fact, the aim of the project is to analyze the effect of vestibular illusions on civil pilots. Two groups of pilots will be selected depending on the level of expertise to undertake the measurements. The experiment will be based on the collection of physiological data, such as cardiac activity or centre of pressure via stabilometric examination and flight data acquired from the measurements on the Gyro IPT II simulator. Physiological data will be measured before, during and after the simulated flight in order to analyze the changes of these data depending on the reaction of the pilot on the illusion. To compare the flight data, every subject will take two flight profiles - one with illusions and one without the illusions. Physiological and flight data will be later compared and statistically evaluated. The aim of the project is to identify if the level of expertise based on total flight hours affects the reaction of the pilot experiencing flight illusions. The purpose of the study is also to find out the resilience of the pilots in or shortly after the IFR training to specific flight illusions and evaluate the optimality of the standard training which is in the case of flight illusions mostly based only on theoretical training. The whole concept will be evidence based which will provide detailed information about the reaction of the pilot depending on the flight illusion experience. Such a study could contribute to the increase of safety in aviation and to the effective utilization of sources within the flight training.

Initial professional pilot training programmes are designed to meet regulatory requirements. These requirements set topics and number of hours to be taught. The training is focused rather on fulfilling regulatory requirements then on acquiring competences. The outcome is a qualified pilot who is ready to pass a licence skill test. However, the pilot is far from being ready to start his career. In order to provide suitably competent pilots to the aviation industry we need to continuously improve our training programme. We need to move from simply complying with training regulations towards more learner-centered approach. There is a need to develop methods for implementation of evidence based training into initial professional pilot training programme. We should identify areas where pilot underperforms during his first type rating or conversion course. If such performance is caused by deficiencies in his initial training, we must modify the training programme. The objective is to improve initial pilot training and prepare pilots for their first job.
