Summary
| Description | This film outlines some specific visual problems encountered by aviators flying at very high speeds. These include recognizing and avoiding other aircraft in high altitude and high speed operations, determining the size and distance of encountered aircraft, the hazards of flying in empty visual fields, contrast discrimination, and reaction and closure times. Suggestions are made to help the aviator reduce the effects and consequences of these visual problems. A review of some of the physical conditions that exist at high speeds and high altitudes and their effects on pilot performance is presented. Animation is used to illustrate air compression at high speeds, the relations of time and distance to sighting and reacting to other aircraft, and changes in the ability of the eye to receive visual images of various sizes at high speeds. Shots include: military aircraft on the ground and in flight. Received: Nov. 18, 1964 as a donation from the U.S. Navy. |
