This book was released on 1959 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To obtain further substantial information for establishing minimum angles of vision from the cockpits of Army liaison-reconnaissance-type fixed-wing aircraft, motion pictures were taken of pilots’ eye movements with a newly developed head-mounted camera while each of a group of Army pilots performed various normal and tactical flight maneuvers. The head-mounted camera recorded both the field of view in the pilot’s look direction and the eyes and forehead on each photographic frame. It was possible to determine through which portion of the windshield the pilot was looking within 3.3°. The resulting data are presented for all conventional and tactical maneuvers performed in the Cessna L-19 "Bird Dog" aircraft in terms of the percentage of photographic frames to show the use of the available windshield area. The windshield area used by the pilots during the pilot eye-movement study substantiates, to a considerable extent, the conclusions drawn from a pilot questionnaire study of windshield use reported previously."--Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Growing interest in increased cockpit vision has been shown for some time by the aircraft industry. This interest has been brought about by the general belief of airline pilots that cockpit vision in most present-day transports is not entirely satisfactory. Due to the substantial increase in the number of aircraft now using our airports and airways, there is a definite need for increased cockpit vision. The operational characteristics of aircraft vary considerably from one type to another, yet all use the same airports. The pilot eye-movement study is one phase of a cockpit vision study that was commenced in 1948 by the Technical Development and Evaluation Center of the Civil Aeronautics Administration at Indianapolis. The specific aim of the study was to determine which areas of the windshield and what visual angles the pilots actually use in performing critical flight maneuvers defined as take-off, landing approach, and low altitude turns. These definitions were established by the airline pilots themselves and were taken from a previous study of cockpit visibility, which study was based on an airline pilot questionnaire."--Introduction.

Book excerpt: Vision is the dominant sense used by pilots and visual misperception has been identified as the primary contributing factor in numerous aviation mishaps, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and major resource loss. Despite physiological limitations for sensing and perceiving their aviation environment, pilots can often make the required visual judgments with a high degree of accuracy and precision. At the same time, however, visual illusions and misjudgments have been cited as the probable cause of numerous aviation accidents, and in spite of technological and instructional efforts to remedy some of the problems associated with visual perception in aviation, mishaps of this type continue to occur. Clearly, understanding the role of visual perception in aviation is key to improving pilot performance and reducing aviation mishaps. This book is the first dedicated to the role of visual perception in aviation, and it provides a comprehensive, single-source document encompassing all aspects of aviation visual perception. Thus, this book includes the foundations of visual and vestibular sensation and perception; how visual perceptual abilities are assessed in pilots; the pilot's perspective of visual flying; a summary of human factors research on the visual guidance of flying; examples of specific visual and vestibular illusions and misperceptions; mishap analyses from military, commercial and general aviation; and, finally, how this knowledge is being used to better understand visual perception in aviation's next generation. Aviation Visual Perception: Research, Misperception and Mishaps is intended to be used for instruction in academia, as a resource for human factors researchers, design engineers, and for instruction and training in the pilot community.

This book was released on 1958 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a program to establish cockpit visibility requirements for Army helicopters, a method of instrumentation was established to record photographically pilots' eye movements in various helicopters during flight in order to determine visual windshield usage. Two methods of recording pilots' eye movements were considered; namely, (1) the use of a camera located behind the pilot which viewed his eyes through a mirror located ahead of him on the instrument panel, and (2) the use of a camera located in front of the pilot. The second method was selected. Accuracy of reading or interpreting the photographic data obtained from the instrumentation was established through the conduct of tests performed in the H-13 and H-21 helicopters, which were selected as being representative of various types of Army helicopters. These tests revealed that it was possible to determine the actual location of the area of the windscreen through which the pilot was looking, within 10 degrees vertically and horizontally during at least 72 per cent of the time for the H-13 helicopter, and 60 per cent of the time for the H-21 helicopter.
