摘要:
针对传统的日间跑道视程(RVR)计算过程中忽略人眼对比阈值的影响问题,理论分析人眼对比阈值的大小及偏差对RVR测量范围和精度的影响,分别测量与飞行一线密切相关的飞行、管制、应用气象3类专业学员的对比阈值,探究不同光环境下对比阈值的差异性对RVR测量的精度及对飞行运行中可接受的误差范围的影响。实验结果表明:相较于管制、应用气象学员2类实验对象,飞行学员的对比阈值更小,具有更好的能见度水平。背景亮度会影响对比阈值,亮度越大,对比阈值越小,对RVR观测有利,但是背景亮度增大或者添加眩光都会使实验对象之间的对比阈值差异增大,引起更大的RVR误差。该误差在大气状况良好时是可以接受的,但是在RVR小于800 m的低能见度状况下超出了规定范围,尤其是在RVR为400 m或800 m这种航空运行的关键节点,会对飞行活动产生影响,应考虑将对比阈值引起的偏差进行修正,以保证低能见度条件下的飞行安全和运行效率。
Abstract:The influence of eye contrast threshold is neglected in the traditional calculation of daytime runway visual range (RVR). Therefore, this paper first theoretically analyzes the influence of the human eye contrast threshold on RVR measurement range and accuracy. Then, experiments are designed to measure the contrast thresholds of students majoring in flight, control and applied meteorology, which are closely related to the front line of flight, respectively, to explore the differences of contrast thresholds in different light environments and their influence on RVR. According to the experimental findings, flying cadets have a lower contrast threshold and better visibility than the other two types of testing objects. At the same time, the background brightness will also affect the contrast threshold. The contrast threshold decreases with increasing brightness, which is advantageous for RVR observation. When the RVR is between 400 and 800 meters, which is the important node of aviation operations and will have an impact on flight activities, this mistake is acceptable. However, when the RVR is less than 800 meters in bad visibility, it is beyond the specified range. The deviation caused by the contrast threshold should be corrected to ensure flight safety.
