Thirteen pilots,using a DC-7aircraft,participated in the program. The fog simulator was evaluated during atmospheric meteorological visibilities ranging from 1 1/2to over 12miles. Technical data,as well as completed pilot questionnaires,comprised the data analyzed. Although the simulator shows merit insofar as projecting realism, a redesign of the unit is necessary to correct deficiencies in various optical,electronic,and mechanical areas. (Author) 收起
