How Air Pilot Is Tested
For Sense of Equilibrium
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE PILOT of an airplane must
be able to gauge the position in
which his body is most accurately.
To do this he must have a good in
ternal ear and
Dr. Clendening
ers and highly
responsible pilots, an extremely ela
borate set of tests is made, put
ting them in a revolving chair and
spinning them in different positions
of the head. It is generally recog
nized that accidents during stunt Hy
ing are due to something that has
gone wrong with the pilot. Usually
this is a momentary loss of faculties.
One man went into a tail spin, which
produced such overpowering dizzi
ness that, not knowing what he was
doing or why, he grabbed the “joy
stick" and pushed it over and threw
himself into another tail spin in the
opposite direction. Before he could
come out of this he crashed.
Flyers who have been tested in the
chairs report somewhat as follows:
“That is exaetiy like coming out of
a spinning nose '* When nl: ■■c“'
How Railroad Engineers
1 Are Tested for Positions
3y LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D. I
j THERE IS ONE noticeable feature 1
about the accident situation in gen- 1
eral in the United States, which is !
that numerically more drivers of pri- '
va t e vehicles
Dr. jClendening
f
automoblllsts it would nearly deci- (
mate the population. (
1 I believe it is fair to say that a (
large part of the difference is due to ,
the careful medical inspection of the (
i drivers of public conveyances. One |
can say that the automobile accidents (
are due to slippery streets, lack of ;
tracks, lack of signals at corners, j
but the comparative statistics of ,
I taxicab drivers and public bus driv- (
ers as against private drivers does
not bear this out. And again one (
must remember the statistics of the
Royal Air Force which were that 90 '
per cent of their accidents in the ‘
war were due not to deficiencies of
the machine nor to enemy hits, but
to physical impairment of the flyers.
I am told that in 1932 only one
passenger was killed on all the rail
roads in the United States, and in
1935 no passenger was killed on any
of the railways of this country.
Public Safeguarded
So far as railroads are concerned,
I am greatly impressed with the
care with which the public is safe
guarded so far as their employes are
concerned. The main idea, of course,
of a physical examination of an ap
plicant for railway service is to es
tablish his physical and intellectual

in another position they will say*
“Now I feel like coming out of a
loop.”
Ordinary Test Very Simple
For the pilot who is not going t»
undertake such responsibilities, how
ever, the test for equilibrium is fairly
simple. The shoes and stockings aro
removed and the applicant stands on
one foot, the other knea ..flexed at
right angles, the eyes closed, and a
hand resting on the flexed knee. He
should be ble to remain steady for
15 second.,. Three trials are given
for each foot.
There are three planes of vertigo.
One corresponds to the hatband on
your hat. In other words, it goes
around your head about level with
the top of your ears. Another one
is frontal and could bo represented by
a ring into which you could thrust
your face, going under the chin and
over the forehead just in front of
the oars. The third is from before
backwards, and could bo represented
if you made a circle around your
head drawn in profile. Those corre
spond to various whirlings that the
semi-circular canals have to com
pensate for in stunt flying. For in
stance. the last one., the so-called
"sagittal plane” vertigo, is the one
that is concerned in looping.
Diet for Third Week— Tuesday
Breakfast —One cup berries with
milk;, one slice toast (dry); one cup
coffee (with not more than one lump
of sugar and one teaspoon of milk).
Luncheon—Cheese sandwich; cof
fee.
Dinner—Two poached eggs; one
slice toast; coffee: orange.

Our sense of
equilibrium is
based upon the
three Ii 11 le
s e m i-circular
canals set at
different levels
in the internal
ear. They are
fiiled with a
fluid which
moves slowly
on change of
position.
For army fly-
fitness. The class from which engi
neers, brakemen, switchmen and line
men are made comes, as a rule, from
smaller towns along the line of the
railway. The applicant's experience
with railroading, at least in the old
days, began from youth. Just as a
boy in a seaport town walks down
to the harbor, watches ships and
dreams of spending his days as a sea
rover, so does the young farmer in
a small town watch the incoming
trains on arrival, envies the majestic
figure of the engineer in his dunga
rees, leather gloves and gauntlets.
When he reaches adolescence, he
makes an attempt to apply for some
form of railway service; sometimes
he starts working on the track as a
common laborer.
His experience is, to a considerable
extent, laid down before he applies
for service. Here it may be a great
disappointment to N im to learn that
he is color blind or that his rheuma
tism in youth may prevent his ac
ceptance by the railway company. A
careful history of all the diseases he
has ever had is recorded. The sense
of hearing is examined; his heart and
blood pressure repeatedly tested;
special attention is paid to the joints
and the existence of an arthritis. The
color perception is made both with
worsteds and with lanterns, and espe
cially with the test of Prof. Dr. S.
Ishihara. In most railways a peri
odical examination is made on an
average of once a year; especially
after the age of 50 a more thorough
vigil Is kept of employes in trans
portation service.
