Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary study of the development of an air navigation safety system based on one of the major physiological problems of the navigational pilot. This proposal primarily aims at the life safety of pilots and crew as well as the integrity of aircraft. In this context, the work brings a search of synaptic response patterns to different levels of hypoxia and, based on these, discuss actions of control of the aircraft.
