With an increase in acceleration value the accuracy of human performance decreases. This becomes very noticeable at positive linear acceleration > 5 g. In this situation work capacity can be raised by increasing an angle between the positive linear acceleration vector and the long axis of the human body. Pilots need to be tested for acceleration tolerance before they are allowed to fly at positive linear acceleration .gtoreq. 8 g.
