The Effect of Lighted Deck Shape on Night Carrier Landing.

Abstract

The primary purpose of the experimental program reported was to explore the possibility of identifying a tunnel lighted deck shape which would minimize errors in judging it to be horizontal. The secondary purpose was to compare errors in judgment of the horizontal between direct viewing and TV viewing. Preliminary, main and 'check' experiments were conducted to establish the relation between generated glideslope (error in judging simulated lighted carrier deck shapes to be horizontal) and lighted deck shape.
