Visual Related Accidents/Incidents,

Abstract

Man has evolved as a creature intended to walk on two feet on the surface of the earth, but has acquired the skill to construct machines which enables him to fly. The process has required this basic man to learn, by training, some necessary skills for adapting his sensory system. This sensory adaption is rather fragile and will under situations of stress break down and cause accidents or incidents. This paper discusses, based on accidents/incidents, the different break down modes of man's visual sensory system in the high performance aircraft cockpit.
