Visual perception of touchdown point during simulated landing.
Experiments examined the accuracy of visual touchdown point perception during oblique descents (1.5 degrees -15 degrees ) toward a ground plane consisting of (a) randomly positioned dots, (b) a runway outline, or (c) a grid. Participants judged whether the perceived touchdown point was above or below a probe that appeared at a random position following each display. Although judgments were unac...
متن کاملGlideslope Perception During Aircraft Landing
Ideally, when a pilot approaches a runway on their final approach for landing, they must maintain a constant trajectory, or glideslope, of typically 3°-4°. If pilots misperceive their glideslope and alter their flight path accordingly, they are likely to overshoot or undershoot their desired touch down point on the runway. This experiment examined the accuracy of passive glideslope perceptions ...
متن کاملHead-eye coordination during simulated orbiter landing.
BACKGROUND Orbiter landing data show decrements in pilot performance following spaceflight compared to preflight simulated landings. This study aimed to characterize pilot head-eye coordination during simulated orbiter landings, and relate findings to microgravity-related spatial disorientation. METHODS Orbiter landings were simulated in an A340-300 simulator flown by six pilots. Turns about ...
متن کاملLanding with time-to-contact and ventral optic flow estimates
Many recent studies on autonomous spacecraft landing use computer vision methods to improve the accuracy of the state estimates used for landing. Typically, these studies integrate the vision module with other exteroceptive sensors such as laser or radar altimeters. This is a sensible approach for the main landing system of a large spacecraft. However, for a backup emergency system or for much ...
متن کاملAdaptation of performance during a week of simulated night work.
This study aimed to provide a comparative index of the performance impairment associated with the fatigue levels frequently experienced in workplaces that require night work. To do this, we equated fatigue-related impairment with the impairment resulting from varying levels of alcohol intoxication. Fifteen young individuals participated in two counterbalanced conditions which required them to (...
