Visual Flight into Instrument Meteorological Condition: A Post Accident Analysis

Visual Flight Rules (vfr) Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (imc): a Review of the Accident Data

General Aviation (GA) accident statistics indicate that visual flight rules (VFR) flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is a major safety hazard within general aviation. Little research has been conducted to identify the factors that influence VFR pilots’ decisions to risk flying into deteriorating weather. As accident reports provide a naturalistic source of such information, ...

Effects of Advanced Cockpit Displays on General Aviation Pilots’ Decisions to Continue Visual Flight Rules Flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions

Thirty pilots flew a simulated VFR cross country flight into deteriorating weather with one of three levels of display support: a control display with standard instruments, a synthetic vision system (SVS) display depicting terrain and a highway in the sky (HITS), and a configuration in which the same SVS HITS display was augmented by an electronic moving map depicting weather. Results revealed ...

Sciamachy In-flight Instrument Performance

On 1st of March 2002 ENVISAT with SCIAMACHY on-board was launched successfully in a sun-synchronous polar orbit. SCIAMACHY is a passive remote sensing instrument, which measures solar back scattered and reflected light from the atmosphere in nadir and limb viewing geometries during the majority of an orbit. In addition solar and lunar occultation measurements will be performed regularly. Measur...
