If not fixed, spatial disorientation can contribute both to loss of control and managed
flight to the ground. All people are hard-wired into the likelihood of becoming spatially
disoriented. In reality, it is the correct operation of the spatial orientation system that gives the
impression because, as this is a framework that human have evolved to assume, it is especially
difficult to accept that certain individuals, under certain conditions, are not accustomed to what it
looks like (Stott, 2013). Spatial orientation is the capacity to detect motion and three-dimensional
location relative to the surrounding environment (for pilots a fourth dimension–time can be
included). The humans (and most animals) are capable of achieving this by incorporating
automatics, the sub consciousness of many sensory inputs like the primary senses of sight and
hearing, which provide a wide range of visual perception as well as a fixation on the specifics of
the stimulus and contact. The crew may be space-disoriented while making an approach to an
aerodrome or runway. This is considered lack of knowledge of the case. Although the nature of
the aircraft is different from somatogravic and somatogyral illusions, it can also be called spatial
desorientation, believing that the aircraft is situated elsewhere (in the air) (Bałaj et al., 2019). In
fact, if not changed, the potential implications are the same. Three primary sensory sources:
auditory, vestibular and proprioceptive, cause spatial disorientation. The body depends on an
exact vision and perceptual convergence of all three mechanisms to obtain an acceptable
orientation. The resulting effect can be spatial disorientation if auditory, vestibular and
proprioceptive inputs differ in severity and position and duration (Krueger, 2011). The human
eye offers visual and spatial awareness that guarantees that 80% of the sensory inputs required to
maintain orientation are received. In the inner ear, the vestibular system contributes 15%. The
sensory inputs in the skin, muscle, tendons and joints represent 5 percent of the sensory
information used for orientation. The brain will then decode and understand intricate interaction
