..........
Continuous field-of-view.
The simulator must provide a
continuous field-of-view of
at least 146
°
horizontally
and 36
°
vertically or the
number of degrees nec-
essary to meet the visual
ground segment require-
ment, whichever is greater.
The minimum horizontal
field-of-view coverage must
be plus and minus one-half
(
1
⁄
2
) of the minimum contin-
uous field-of-view require-
ment, centered on the zero
degree azimuth line relative
to the aircraft fuselage. Any
geometric error between
the Image Generator eye
point and the pilot eye
point must be 8
°
or less.
N/A
.........................................
An SOC is required and must
explain the geometry of the
installation.
Horizontal field-of-view of at
least 146
°
(including not
less than 73
°
measured ei-
ther side of the center of
the design eye point). Addi-
tional horizontal field-of-
view capability may be
added at the sponsor’s dis-
cretion provided the min-
imum field-of-view is re-
tained.
Vertical field-of-view of at
least 36
°
measured from
the pilot’s and co-pilot’s
eye point.
X
Horizontal field-of-view is
centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative
to the aircraft fuselage.
Field-of-view may be
measured using a visual
test pattern filling the entire
visual scene (all channels)
with a matrix of black and
white 5
°
squares.
4.b.3.
..........
Continuous field-of-view.
Continuous field-of-view of at
least 176
°
horizontal and
56
°
vertical field-of-view for
each pilot simultaneously.
Any geometric error be-
tween the Image Generator
eye point and the pilot eye
point must be 8
°
or less.
N/A
.........................................
An SOC is required and must
explain the geometry of the
installation.
Horizontal field-of-view is
centered on the zero de-
gree azimuth line relative
to the aircraft fuselage.
Horizontal field-of-view
must be at least 176
°
(in-
cluding not less than 88
°
either side of the center of
the design eye point). Addi-
tional horizontal field-of-
view capability may be
added at the sponsor’s dis-
cretion provided the min-
imum field-of-view is re-
tained.
Vertical field-of-view must not
be less than a total of 56
°
measured from the pilot’s
and co-pilot’s eye point.
X
The horizontal field-of-view is
traditionally described as a
180
°
field-of-view. How-
ever, the field-of-view is
technically no less than
176
°
. Field-of-view may be
measured using a visual
test pattern filling the entire
visual scene (all channels)
with a matrix of black and
white 5
°
squares.
