Abstract:
A method of simulating night flying conditions during daylight hours is described. This work was undertaken to satisfy a requirement set up by the Air Resupply and Communications Service for a method of pilot indoctrination in low level, night flying which would have a high safety factor. The pilot undergoing training wears lenses of vey low light transmission which are mounted in a special goggle that excludes all stray light. Supplemental lighting is provided for essential instruments. The complete absence of ground lights simulates the actual conditions of the combat zone.
