Altitude Chamber - Physiology Training
The UND Aerospace two–day aviation physiology course is designed for corporate and commercial pilots, but meets the needs of any aviator. Under the supervision of Dr. Warren Jensen, a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner, the training utilizes our High Altitude Chamber to simulate scenarios (at up to 25,000 feet) related to:
- Hypoxia/Hyperventilation
- Trapped Gas Disorders
- Evolved Gas Problems
- Oxygen Equipment
- Fatigue
- Stress
- Vision
- Spatial Disorientation
- Cabin Pressurization
- Hypoxia Demonstration (chamber flight)
- Rapid Decompression (chamber flight)
Pilots learn their body’s reactions to the stresses of high altitude flight. Particular attention is paid to hazards such as the lack of oxygen, the effects of trapped gases, decompression sickness and the loss of cabin pressure. Participants experience these stresses under controlled conditions by participating in two altitude chamber flights:
- Hypoxia Demonstration Flight to 25,000 feet
- Rapid Decompression Flight from 3,000 to 13,500 feet
