Abstract
This project consisted of an experiment on the effect of one type of perceptual (open-loop) training on the learning of contact landing. Thirty non- pilots, divided equally into two matched groups, participated. The experimental group received perceptual training with a programmed visual display; the control group did not receive this training. As criterion trials, both groups performed contact landings in an operational flight trainer equipped with a nonprogrammed visual attachement. The results indicated that the programmed presentation evaluated did not contribute to the learning of contact landings. The implications of the findings, and research issues in the evaluation of visual attachments and of pilot performance are discussed. (Author)Keywords
