What does the Giant-Hand Phenomenon interfere with?

The Giant-Hand Phenomenon specifically interferes with the conscious control of the aircraft. This phenomenon occurs when pilots, especially under stress or high workload, can experience a sort of sensory overload, making it feel as if external stimuli are overwhelming their ability to perform manual controls effectively. When pilots become fixated on certain actions or stimuli, their gross motor skills may suffer, leading to a delay in their ability to consciously manipulate the aircraft controls as required.

In this context, the phenomenon can diminish a pilot's fine motor control and judgment necessary for precise flight maneuvers, resulting in potential spatial disorientation or inability to appropriately respond to critical situations. Understanding the implications of the Giant-Hand Phenomenon is essential for maintaining effective control of the aircraft and ensuring safe flight operations.
