CLOSED LOOP HC ? ON TRACK Dear list, There has been an overwhelming response to my last mail about closing the loop in our first generation centrifuge. Apart from the indavmed mails, I have received personal mails and telephones calls. The upgrade seems to have spread a ?feel good? factor among the aeromedical community in India. I am very excited no doubt. And I can feel that so are the aero med physicians GS Sir, Kulkarni Sir, Gp Capts Dogra & Malik, Wg Cdrs Gomez, Kapur, Sudhanshu, Sinha, Dilish, Jasvir, Anupam etc? The fighter pilot fraternity is enjoying it too. The excitement continues. In the current on-going high G course (92nd AFAIC), all six pilots have done High Sustained G runs in closed loop including 7G 15s, 8G 10s, 9G 5s runs and all have done the required 2 peaks of 4G15s-8G10s SACM (three of them have already hacked 9 peaks i.e. 5 minutes of SACM) and none has had a GLOC. If the trend is anything to go by, GLOC episodes in our centrifuge may become a thing of the past with this pilot interactive mode. Apart from the vendor who translated what I wanted into reality (I hadn?t seen a HC with closed loop before this change), I want to especially acknowledge the free hand allowed to me by the IAM commandant, CRO and my wonderful colleague Wg Cdr A Sinha. But for all this help, ?CLOSING THE LOOP? may have remained a dream. Cheers Tyagi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
