An Experiment to Evaluate the Training Potential of the Pilots' Night Training Device
Abstract
Various constraints on low altitude night flight have acted to restrict the ability of Army aviation unit commanders to train their aviators in the essential pilot skills required for successful night terrain flight. Use of the Pilots' Night Training Device (PNTD) which attenuates daylight and simulates the night visual scene was tested in a controlled training situation. The posttest performance of two matched groups of Army aviators, one trained at night and the other trained using the Device during the daytime, was compared.
