摘要: |
Flight tests had previously been conducted at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center to examine issues regarding rotortip separation in ground maneuver areas at heliports. Technical Note DOT/FAA/CT-TN88/30, Heliport Surface Maneuvering Test Results, details the results of those tests. However, those tests were conducted under visual flight conditions (VFR) daylight conditions. Given the limitations of scoptic vision, it was determined that nighttime testing was needed to determine whether pilot parking separation performance and perception deteriorates under night, low ambient light conditions. This report documents the results of nighttime parking tests conducted at the Technical Center between January 1989 to August 1989. Over 100 parking maneuvers were conducted using a UH-1H helicopter. All were conducted under head, tail, and crosswind conditions, with an unlit and a lit obstacle and without an obstacle in place. Pilot subjective data in reference to these maneuvers were collected via post-maneuver ratings and post-flight questionnaire. Heliport Parking, Rotor Tip Clearances, UH-lH Helicopter. |
