Flight Tasks and Metrics to Evaluate Laser Eye Protection in Flight Simulators

Abstract

Testing laser eye protection (LEP) devices intended for aircrew use in flight simulators allows for experimental conditions that directly address questions regarding their effects on flight performance that cannot be achieved with laboratory vision tests and provides a comparable platform that replaces the prohibitively expensive dedicated flight tests. To determine what flight tasks and performance metrics might be the best for LEP assessment, a literature search was conducted.
