AIRPORT/HELIPORT MARKING AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS: A SUMMARY REPORT ON HUMAN FACTORS RESEARCH.
Abstract
Six recently completed research tasks concerned with human factors considerations in airport/heliport marking and lighting systems are summarized. The research tasks included (1) surveys of prior operational flight tests, human factors data, and past, present, and proposed marking and lighting components and systems, (2) studies contributing to the development of airport/heliport marking and lighting designs, and (3) studies contributing to the screening and evaluation of proposed airport/heliport marking and lighting systems. For each summary the significance of the study to airport/heliport marking and lighting systems is stated. This is followed, in order, by a brief description of the study procedure, the major study findings, and implications that these findings may have for management and operational personnel as well as for human factors specialists. In addition to the summaries the broader implications of the total research effort are discussed.
