Abstract

An examination is made in this paper of the problem of landing aircraft in restricted visibility conditions, to show the possibilities and limitations of existing methods and to suggest the lines of solution of the problem. The physical and physiological aspects of landings in good visibility conditions are first examined and these are then considered in relation to restricted visibility conditions.
