• Abstract:
  Ths memorandum was prepared in support of the low visibility simulation study being ; conducted by the FAA as a basis for establishing the lowest RVR (runway visual range) ; required for safe, fail passive auto landings in Category III weather. A design consisting ; of descriptions of the flight scenarios to be used in this study and the order and ; combination of conditions under which these scenarios would be presented to the pilots ; flying the simulated approaches was developed for use in initial simulation testing. ; While adequate for early testing, this ORIGINAL design would have some analytic ; limitations if used as a means of generating pilot performance data during the actual ; evaluation. ; This report describes a new proposed study design and compares the original design and ; the proposed new design with respect to their abilities to differentiate the influence of ; visibility conditions on landing decisions and performance of air transport pilots in a 727 ; full mission simulator.
