The physiology department uses a GAT-II General Aviation Trainer for spatial disorientation training. This full motion simulator duplicates the sensations a pilot would feel during various flight maneuvers.

The GAT-II features an enclosed cockpit, realistic flight controls, and simulated out-the-window visual display to provide a highly realistic training environment. The 3-axes motion system, precisely coordinated with the visual display and flight control inputs, allows the GAT-II to simulate a wide variety of spatial and visual illusions.
