Mental Condition Checked in Study of Crash Causes
By ROBERT J. SERLING
UPI Aviation Editor
Washington - (UPII - How
much of a role does mental
stress play in air crashes?
The mental and emotional
condition of a pilot is one of
the factors examined in an
accident investigation. But un
less a pilot has been know
ingly consulting a psychiatrist,
psychologist or doctor, or has
appeared openly disturbed to
his colleagues, emotional
stress is tough to pin down as
a possible contributing fac
tor. An accident report publish
ed in the current issue of
Army Aviation Digest under-
1 ; L u 1 Tt ln,.n1nD
IIUKO lilt: piuuicui. 11 iinmtco
a fatal helicopter crash in
which the pilot was a veter
an with 2,000 hours in "chop
pers" - and a host of person
al problems.
The accident itself was
caused primarily by engine
failure. But the report noted
that the pilot made no ef
fort to avert disaster. In par
ticular, he failed to go into
"autorotation" which would
have given his rotor blades
enough speed to land with
out mishap.
Unfit to Fly
The report, which did not
Identify the pilot victim,
delved deeply into his per.
sonal life. It quoted at length
from an analysis by a flight
surgeon who said the pilot
was unfit to fly before he
took off on the fatal flight,
His personal problems, the
report continued, mainly con
cerned a divorce in which
both children were put In the
wife's custody. She remar
ried and was subsequently
divorced twice more, creating
worry In the pilot's mind
about his children's welfare.
Just before' the accident, he
attempted a reconciliation
and was rebuffed.
The flight surgeon said the
pilot's personal difficulties
affected his military duties to
such an extent that he was
reprimanded several times.
His sleeping habits were
known to be poor and an au
topsy revealed that he had
not eaten lunch or breakfast
before the crash. Fatigue and
inadequate diet, the flight sur
geon wrote, were contribut
ing factors as well as worry
and emotional upset.
Manial Cause
The report said one of two
mental states may have been
involved when the accident
occurred. The first was ordi
nary day-dreaming which the
flight surgeon described as
"temporary mental withdraw
al from reality." He compar
ed it to what commonly oc
curs among automobile driv
ers when they suddenly real
ize they have not really seen
anything passing by for sev
eral minutes.
The second mental stale
was a possible suiciae im
pulse. The flight surgeon
said he did not intend to sug
gest that the pilot "wilfully
failed to take appropriate ac
tion In an emergency." But
he said the man's emotional
condition, plus fatigue and
poor diet, "Indicate a lower
ing of the normal self-pre-
servatory urges to the point
where he would be incapable
of fighting off any suicidal
impulses that occurred."
It would be logical to as
sume that the average mili
tary pilot would be subject
ed to greater emotional strains
than the average airline pilot
But even in civil aviation,
mental stresses have long
concerned air safety experts
as a possible hidden factor
in some crashes.
In the files of the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB),
there is one fatal crash blam
ed directly on a pilot's "pre
occupation resulting from
mental stress." The case in
volved a DC3 which hit a
mountain while approaching
Charlottesville, Va. All three
crew members and 23 of 24
passengers were killed in the
crash, which the CAB said
resulted from a navigation
error.
But the CAB noted that the
captain had been undergoing
"Intensive psychiatric treat
ment" for several years pre
ceding and right up to the
accident, including use of
tranquillizers. The board said
he was "so heavily burdened
with mental and emotional
problems that he should have
been relieved of the strain
of flight duty while under
going treatment for his con
dition."
The pilot's colleagues vigor
ously protested the CAB's
findings. They produced testi
mony from pyschiatrists who
had treated the captain, each
denying the pilot was emo
tionally unfit to fly. The "in
tensive" treatment cited by
the CAB, one doctor added,
was nothing more than rou
tine marriage counseling.
Whether this accident was
one actually involving a pi
lot's mental stress is a mat
ter for debate. Nevertheless,
the subject is one that has
received little attention in
civil aviation medicine.
Recently, the Federal Avi
ation agency did issue a guide
on pilot use of tranquillizers,
sedatives, stimulants and oth
er drugs. The study was the
direct result of the Charlottes
ville crash although there was
evidence that the pilot in this
case discontinued the use of
tranquillizers at least 40 days
before the accident. '
The CAB at the time also
called for a study by the FAA,
the aviRtion Industry and the
medical profession on the ef
fects of mental and emotion
al strains on pilot proficiency.
Some work is being done in
the field, as the Army re
port indicates, but some ex
perts would like to see a full-
scale effort.
There is, for example,
mounting evidence that fa
tigue is becoming a prevalent
problem among jet pilots.
American Airlines recently
reduced maximum monthly
flight hours from 85 to 75 in
a move that probably will be
followed throughout the in
dustry. And fatigue could be
the accident - causing cata
lyst in a pilot burdened with
personal problems.

Combination of Antithetic
Traits Noted in Japanese
(Editor's note: Following
' is a dispatch from Fred
Lorish, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred L. Lorish, Medford.
Young Lorish is living in
Japan with Don Kondo. an
exchange student who lived
in the Lorish home three
years ago. Young Lorish is
a student in the Keio university-Stanford
university
exchange program.)
By FRED LORISH
Undoubtedly, the most am
azing facet of the Japanese
character is its combination of
antithetic traits. This "anti-
thetic-ness" causes more frus
trations, confusion, and prob
lems for the Western mind
(at least this is true of this
one) than does ' any other
phase of Japanese life.
The Japanese might well
be termed the most energetic
race on earth - her amazing
advance from the industrial-
less nation of less than 100
years ago to her present
place in the family of na
tions certainly bears this out.
And yet, the people are of
ten given to meditation and
introspection. They are fam
ed for their ability to adopt
various facets of other cul
tures, including social, fam
ily, religious, moral, indus
trial, and political systems.
But these, after being
adopted, are not the same as
the original form. Japai
took Buddhism from India
a religious philosophy of in
tricate ritual and abstruse
metaphysics - but after find
ing a better method of gain
ing salvation (please note
that this is a Western term
the Orienal word that
should use in this context can
not be directly translated into
English: perhaps a better
word to use would be enlight
enment," but even this miss
es the point,) the Japanese
threw aside the metaphysi
cal Indian form.
New Form Noted
This new form was, and is,
Zen Buddhism. There are
other sects of Buddhism in
existence in Japan, but they
have no affinity with Indian,
or even Chinese, Buddhism.
The Chinese Confucianism
was so adapted that it made
Japan a unified nation, some
thing that China was never
able to do until the advent
of Communism which de
nounces Confucianism.
The democracy and busi
ness practices of the West
were readily adopted, but the
similarity is really in name
only. '.' one could see or
read of Uje fights among the
socialists and the conserva
tives in Japan's National Diet
(in fact, there was at one
time a gun battle between
two of them) or see the bu
reaucracy within Japanese in
dustry and business, he would
undoubtedly wonder if these
forms actually came from
the West. (But then, I often
wonder what the Greek phil
osophers who devised the
theories of democracy would
think of Senator Morse's
Senate "talkathons.")
They often combine great
spiritual and physical
strength and tenacity of pur
pose with pliancy and a great
willingness to compromise. As
a national group they are
self-assertive and aggressive,
given to periodic surges of
nationalism and patriotism,
and yet, as individuals, they
are restrained, and lack, for
the most part, individuality
(though this trait is presently
changing due to the influence
of the West).
Rice Producing Country
What accounts for these
antithetical characteristics?
Part of the answer lies in the
fact that Japan is a rice
producing country. Inasmuch
as the production of rice can
not be mechanized (since the
land plots arc too small), the
growing and harvesting of
this crop is monotonous and
back-breaking toil. Thus, in
order for the crop to suc
ceed every year, the Japan
ese became a very farsighted,
steady, patient and industri
ous people out of necessity.
Further, the high yield of
rice made (and still does
make) It possible for the land
to support a large population,
and for this reason the group
complex developed and in
dividualism was suppressed.
Japan is also an island na
tion, separated from the main
land of Asia. This, of course,
aided her in that her separ
ateness prevented attack
from foreign elements, and as
a result, Japan was able to
develop her own culture. But
at the same time, she was
close enough to adopt and
adapt, and profit from, the
cultural advances made on
the Asian continent.
The Japanese are, further,
a conglomeration of differ
ent racial stocks - in fact,
there are five main ones: the
Caucasian Ainu, two Mongo
loid groups, and a Malay-Negrito
mixture. Each, of
course, had certain character-
the social and climatical con
ditions of both their original
areas and the diverse climat
ical conditions in the Japan
ese archipelago. Also, within
the past 100 years, the Jap
anese nation has changed
irom a predominately food
gathering social to that of a
food-producing one-each fos
tering opposite characteris
tics. Many people have realized
that the "way of the West"
is indeed fallible, and have
thus turned to the East to
find an answer to the intel
lectual and spiritual void the
Western culture has produced
(though this is an individual
problem that far from every
one faces). They hope to find
"Truth" by using a different
way of thinking - but the
truth seems to be that "Truth"
does not exist in either cul
ture. Japan is a good exam
ple of a nation that has profit
ed greatly from using the
best of both systems, though
istics that developed from she is far from being an ideal
