Abstract :
What is critical in each study of spatial disorientation (SD) is a clear common definition of what is used to define a case. The purpose of this article is to provide demographic statistics and trending analysis on SD in the US Air Force for the five-fiscal-year period from 1994 to 1998, comparing results of both a narrow and a broader definition of SD
