AN AIRCRAFT COCKPIT LIGHTING ARRANGEMENT FOR CREATING PILOT ABILITY TO CORRECTLY INTERPRET AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE

摘要

An aircraft internal cockpit lighting arrangement for improving a pilot's ability to correctly interpret aircraft attitude having an internal cockpit lighting fixture adapted to emit a lateral dispersible light providing an illuminated artificial horizon within the cockpit of the aircraft wherein the illuminated artificial horizon is configured to surround the pilot within the cockpit when the pilot is seated during flight of the aircraft, wherein the internal cockpit lighting fixture is further adapted to maintain said illuminated artificial horizon in the sounding configuration about said pilot as the aircraft increases or decreases pitch and/or when the nose of the aircraft rolls, banks or tilts to the left or right during turning.
