Vision is the dominant sense used by pilots and visual
misperception has been identified as the primary contributing
factor in numerous aviation mishaps, resulting in hundreds of
fatalities and major resource loss. Despite physiological
limitations for sensing and perceiving their aviation environment,
pilots can often make the required visual judgments with a high
degree of accuracy and precision. At the same time, however, visual
illusions and misjudgments have been cited as the probable cause of
numerous aviation accidents, and in spite of technological and
instructional efforts to remedy some of the problems associated
with visual perception in aviation, mishaps of this type continue
to occur. Clearly, understanding the role of visual perception in
aviation is key to improving pilot performance and reducing
aviation mishaps. This book is the first dedicated to the role of
visual perception in aviation, and it provides a comprehensive,
single-source document encompassing all aspects of aviation visual
perception. Thus, this book includes the foundations of visual and
vestibular sensation and perception; how visual perceptual
abilities are assessed in pilots; the pilot's perspective of visual
flying; a summary of human factors research on the visual guidance
of flying; examples of specific visual and vestibular illusions and
misperceptions; mishap analyses from military, commercial and
general aviation; and, finally, how this knowledge is being used to
better understand visual perception in aviation's next generation.
Aviation Visual Perception: Research, Misperception and Mishaps is
intended to be used for instruction in academia, as a resource for
human factors researchers, design engineers, and for instruction
and training in the pilot community.
