It covers risk assessment, G-performance indicators, aircrew conditioning, anti-G equipment, and training responses. The instruction requires assessments of student condition and performance under G to identify risk and support tailored training programs.
Applies to: This publication applies to the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and to Air National Guard (ANG) and their units.
GRIM consists of initial assessment of a student’s previous high-G-performance and present physical condition at the start of basic course ground training and assessment of student’s performance under G while flying.
Observations from these assessments are used to qualitatively determine the level of risk for the student and, if necessary, assist in development of tailored training programs for the student’s specific needs.
An effective anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM), optimum physical conditioning, functioning anti-G equipment and adequate G-oriented situational awareness are all important to aircrew G-performance.
Sustained lower body muscle tensing/straining and short air exchanges against a closed glottis in 3-second cycles.
After a GLOC the average total incapacitation period is 24 seconds.
