The effect of eliminating binocular and peripheral monocular visual cues upon airplane pilot performance in landing

Abstract

6 instruments pilots were tested for accuracy of landing under conditions in which the outside visual field was presented on a small, flat surface without direct, outside visibility. Safe approaches and landings were made by all pilots in all conditions, but the average error for landings varied under the 3 conditions (periscope, vision reducing goggles, unrestricted outside visibility).
