I.Ahtstract
.ýhis publication contains a history of cockpit visibility surveys which wereconducted to measure and record aircraft (General Aviation, Transport, Helicopter,Military) cockpit visibility. Many of the aircraft were involved in midair colli-Asions, accident investigations, research and development, and the design up throughproduction implementation. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) BinocularCamera is a standard means to accurately measure cockpit visibility, which in thecertification process for civil aircraft is an invaluable tool for industry and thleFAA. There~fore, the information contained in this document is intended to contri-bute to aviation safety..
