Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-66/35
Title and Subtitle: Pilot vision considerations: The effect of age on binocular fusion time.
Report Date: October 1966
Authors: Melton CE, Wicks M.
Abstract: The study provides data regarding the relationship between vision performance and age of the individual. It has direct application to pilot visual tasks with respect to instrument panel displays, and to controller visual tasks in association with radar equipment. It also relates to the visual parameter important to the determination of a physiologic age rating for pilots.
Key Words: pilots, aging (physiology), vision, experimental design, test methods, radar equipment, visual acuity, instrument panels.
