Hello everybody,

I read the discussion on Attention Focus. Some people mentioned Hypnosis in
their message. I am really concerned for those who are being hypnotised and
fly aeroplanes later. I am not an expert on this subject but feel that I
would never let somebody hypnotise me. I know what hypnotics is all about, how
to do it etc. but I don't believe in hypnotics in (General) Aviation.
More can be read in the report:
Aircrew and hypnotics: residual effects of temazepam and brotizolam on
psychological performance.
Report NLRGC 1994 K-8; Defence-Contractno. A94/M/140.
Soesterberg, The Netherlands, 1994.

Have a nice day and keep up the good CRM stuff.
Thank you.
