reporting incidents related to the medical-sciences. In turn it could be here that Research/Development could be carried
out (at appropriate centres, such that quality-deficiency correction/design could be carried out, new modified equipment
procured, improved operational procedures instituted.) He then should (evaluate the effectiveness/crew acceptance of results,
and again provide a feedback to the relevant centres). Aspect of Avition Medicine (which may be made) Research/Development
subject is:
- (The atmosphere, and its effect on aircrew)
