Abstract:

As a consequence of the high speeds of modern aircraft, pilots must respond quickly to signal lights from the ground or other aircraft during night flight. The present study was concerned with the relation of reaction time to flash luminance and duration. Reaction time was a decreasing, negatively accelerated function of flash luminance. Flash duration had no clear effect upon reaction time.
