Vision in Aviation: To See or Not to See
Eyesight is the most crucial sense for secure flight. Everyone operating the airplane, including the pilot, must always be aware of and steer clear of oncoming vehicles. A crucial aspect of avoiding collisions with other aircraft is monitoring their airspace. Pilots must master a scanning method that makes the most of their vision (AIRBOYD, 2011).…

Atmospheric Phenomena Studies for Aviation
Introduction Even though modern aircraft have sophisticated navigation and communications systems helping to ensure the safety of flight, they are still wholly dependent on the atmosphere, which generates aerodynamic forces sustaining them. Also, all avionics systems for navigation and communications rely on signals that have to penetrate the atmosphere before reaching the flight deck (Frey,…
