US Army review of spatial<br />

disorientation accidents 5/87-4/92<br />

“Of the 583 accidents, 32% had spatial disorientation<br />

as a factor. The cost was 78 lives and $308,887,000<br />

USD. A distinct trend existed between night flying<br />

and spatial disorientation, the maximum risk being<br />

associated with the use of NVGs and FLIR.”<br />
