Since man realized that birds could fly, he has wanted to do so himself. It took us
thousands of years to get there, and ever since we learned the basics - and understood
the basics behind the basics - the development in aerospace operations has been overwhelm-
ing. Normally we want evolution - in order to be able to master development. Within the
field of aerospace we have been forced to accept revolution In order to cope with the
progress in aviation at large. It took less than 7& years to go from the first flight of
man and onto the first human step on the surface of the moon.
This development is really astonishing dnd to be honest - also slightly frightening.
Can we keep up the pace and hopefully keep the human being on top and thereby ahead of
the developments in aerospace activities, not least in aerospace medicine? The keynote
address to this symposium will center on the way ahead, The euperts have learned a lot
from history, We have to preserve ill this knowledge and transform it beyond our present
state of the art to make sure that the aerospace establishment, including all the players
from scientists to amateur pilots, will be able to cope with the situation - no matter If
it isa question of safe passenger transportation or efficient military air operations In
order to maintain peace and democracy.
Aerospace operations have now evolved so far that people who fear flyingI must fly
anyway itf they want to be full members of modern society. Aerospace operations are part
of daily lIfe and almost any kind of military operation. Aerospace operations are vital
for environmental, scientific and space exploratio:s purposes, and they constitute a sub-
stantial amount of public and private spending,
Looking ahead - and looking at the AGARD overall objectives - the subject of this sym-
posium seems to be extrernely relevant.
"SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IN AEROSPACE OPERATIONS" touches on probably the single most
Important issue of all - common to us all, regardless of education, rank and occupation.
If the players involved in aerospace operations are not aware of their own and their fel-
low operators' situation - disaster is Just around the corner.
For a great many years a substantial amount of effort was concentrated around making
objects fly. Thereafter It became quite clear, that It took a great deal of skill and
talent to fly these objects.
As flyIng developed into what we know today, we also learned that there is no easy way
to safe and efficient aerospace operations. The accidont records are enormous. The chal-
lenge oh leaving 'terra firms" in the early days seems to have had its own law of gravity,
Nobody - or more correctly few - accepted that It took more than talent (and a pood portion
of luck) to operate in the aerospace environment,
However, since the beginning of flight, mankind has slowly learned to adjust to the
enormous challenges of operatIng airplanes and spacecraft. The responsible organizations
have put a considerable effort into training talented pilots to become efficient commanders
of reliable aircraft, be they civilian or military.
It Is interesting to note the evolution In pilot salection procedures. During the last
twenty years the leading nations within this field have been able to Improve tic prodecures
to almost perfectIon, In the Royal Danish Air Force the failure rate of pilots that havn
passed the Initial selection process is close to 5%, which is extraordinary considering the
problems Involved, However, we must all realize that the real challenge lies ahead, when
thL training 'vatom has to turn the remaining 95% of the student pilots Into safe and effi-
cient operators,
ABLTY (TAL ENT)
The initial selection process might be characterized as the measurement of basic know-
ledge and ability - or talent - to go through the whole process of pilot training with a
high probability of success, ivcludlig lobug Lerm efficioncy And survival rate. We rate
not only the handling skills, but also deeper emotional and personality clharacteristica
in order to assure a righ degree of success, both for the LrganIzation and for the Indi-
vidual, A good esample of just one very Important factor, that has been become increas-
ingly important, Is the ability to reject applicants with no or little sense of fear. In
the early days this kind of person was estimated to be the best type of candidate for pilot
training. Now we know that a fearless pilot In a menace to his own and everybody Plses'
safety.
TRAINING
It is probably unnecessary to spend much time on the importance of training, In our day
end age It is generally accepted, that it takes a lot of effort and concentrated training
to become efficient in aerospace operations. The basics to build on is a certain amount
of knowledge and ability - or talent - as described above, However the training system has
become a very sophisticated one, capable of exploiting and developing the talent within a
rather short span of time, so that the combination of talent and tra ining evolves Into the
basic skill of flying.
