Safety Implications of 6-Month vs. 1-Year First-Class Aeromedical Certificates.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Presented is a rare case of transient unilateral facial nerve paralysis occurring in a pilot while on initial ascent in an F-16CM. This pathology is sporadically observed in the diving community, but rarely described in military or civil aviation. This case was particularly unusual in its promptness of onset...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Habitual exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) is expected, but it is not proven, to dull ventilatory sensitivity to co2 by reducing hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) as it is expressed by the slope of the derived response curve (CO2 sensitivity: ΔVE/ΔPetCO2). It was hypothesized that HCVR is decreased by r...
