The ＂Missing＂ Senior Pilot of Taiwan Province Fighter： Is it related to ＂space disorientation＂？

　　Cctv newsThe missing Mirage 2000 fighter plane on the evening of the 7th is still missing. Taiwan Province said that a radio signal similar to survival equipment was found on the 8th, but it is left to decide whether it is related to the missing plane. Some senior pilots in Taiwan Province pointed out that the Mirage -2000 fighter plane crash may be caused by "space disorientation".

　　According to Taiwan media reports, as of around 9: 00 pm on the 8th, 23 batches and 23 sorties of various aircraft have been dispatched to participate in the search and rescue. In the investigation conducted that afternoon, it was found that there were data such as communication records of relevant wingmen before the radar spot disappeared, and radio signals similar to survival equipment were also detected in the search and rescue, but they could not be interpreted as distress signals sent by the lost pilots, and they were sent to the plane crash investigation Committee for interpretation.

　　Taiwan senior pilot: the cause of the crash may be related to "space disorientation"

　　As for the cause of the plane crash, a senior pilot pointed out that it may be caused by the pilot’s "spatial disorientation", which means that the pilot has a serious illusion of flying and his perception of the altitude, speed and direction of the plane is incorrect.

　　Not only is it prone to "spatial disorientation" at night, but you may also lose your sense of direction if your visibility is low or you fly into the clouds during the day. Therefore, when the terrain outside the window is completely invisible, the pilot must rely on the dashboard to fly, not on his own feelings.

　　In order to cultivate the ability to fly according to the instrument, all pilots must receive simulated flight training through the simulator. If the training is insufficient, it is easy to cause accidents in actual flight.
