• 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.
