Abstract:

The objective of the program described in this report was the fabrication of a series of optical test panels for the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine. The optical quality of the test panels was to vary in magnitude in each panel to within limits specified in the statement of work for that contract. The test panels were designed to be installed in the pilots viewing area of the Air Force Flight Dynamics LaboratoryCalspan Corporation Total In-Flight Simulator TIFS. Under a separate contract, the test panels are to be used in a flight test program to determine the effect of optical degradation in the viewing area of the pilot on flight performance.
