Pilot licensing after aortic valve surgery.

The Journal of heart valve disease
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart malformation, and a high percentage of patients with this condition will develop complications over time. It is rare that pilots undergo aortic valve surgery, ...

Task and postural factors are related to back pain in helicopter pilots.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
BACKGROUND: A previous survey by Shear et al. revealed a high prevalence of back pain in Royal Navy helicopter aircrew, compared with controls. It was recommended that a second survey be undertaken, taking account of flying tasks and cockpit ergonomi...

Incorrect identification of a military pilot with international implications.

International journal of legal medicine
The case is reported of a military pilot shot down in 1986 during a mission whose body was recovered in an advanced state of decomposition and delivered to Italian police in 1989. The first autopsy led to an incorrect identification of the corpse. Be...

The effect of trans-cockpit authority gradient on Navy/Marine helicopter mishaps.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
Navy and Marine Corps helicopter mishaps which had a pilot causal factor assigned were examined to determine if the relative military rank of the pilot and copilot was associated with the rate of occurrence per 100,000 flight hours. All class A and B...
