FAA Air Traffic Control Tower Cab Glass Evaluation, Specification and Assessment with Respect to Optical-Visual Characteristics

摘要

The objective of this FAA-funded effort was to determine appropriate optical/visual parameter requirements for FAA tower cab glazing. Provided are recommended values and measurement procedures that include a recommended list of relevant optical parameters, a summary of existing and proposed specifications, recommendations with rationale for the desired minimum (or maximum, as the case may be) allowed value, recommended standard test procedures, the impact on visual capability, and a summary of the sample glazing and shading tests.
