2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers measuring the angular separa-tion of secondary images from their respective primary imagesa
3、s viewed from the design eye position of an aircraft transpar-ency. Angular separation is measured at 49 points within a 20by 20 field of view. This procedure is designed for perfor-mance on any aircraft transparency in a laboratory or in thefield. However, the procedure is limited to a dark environ
4、ment.Laboratory measurements are done in a darkened room andfield measurements are done at night.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.2.1 ExceptionThe values in parentheses are for informa-tion only.1.3 This sta

Summary of Test Method4.1 The procedure for determining the

The photo-graph is then used to make linear measurements of the imageseparation, which can be converted to angular separation usinga scale factor based on the known geometry.5
10、. Significance and Use5.1 With the advent of thick, highly angled aircrafttransparencies, multiple imaging has been more frequentlycited as an optical problem by pilots. Secondary images (ofoutside lights), often varying in intensity and displacementacross the windscreen, can give the pilot deceptiv
11、e optical cuesof his altitude, velocity, and approach angle, increasing hisvisual workload. Current specifications for multiple imaging intransparencies are vague and not quantitative. Typical specifi-cations state “multiple imaging shall not be objectionable.”5.2 The angular separation of the secon
12、dary and primaryimages has been shown to relate to the pilots acceptability ofthe windscreen. This procedure provides a way to quantifyangular separation so a more objective evaluation of thetransparency can be made. This procedure is of use for researchof multiple imaging, quantifying aircrew compl
13、aints, or as thebasis for windscreen specifications.5.3 It is of note that the basic multiple imaging character-istics of a windscreen are determined early in the design phaseand are virtually impossible to change after the windscreen hasbeen manufactured. In fact, a perfectly manufactured wind-scre

Any tolerancesthat might be established are advised to allow for inherentmultiple imaging characteristics.6. Apparatus6.1 Light ArrayThe light array isa7by7matrix of smallincandescent lights (flashli
18、ght bulbs) mounted on a metalframe. The separation of the lights is 406.4 mm (16 in.) oncenter making the overall dimensions of the array 2.44 by 2.44m (8 by 8 ft). A suitable power supply, such as a rechargable12-V dc gel cell, is also required. A backdrop of nonreflectivematerial (such as black ve
19、lvet), placed several inches behindthe array, blocks out background lights and prevents reflec-tions.6.2 Camera/filmNo special camera or modification isneeded for this process. A lens focal length of about 50 mm ispreferred, to permit the light array to fill most of the field ofview of the camera. B
20、lack and white film is preferred.3Digitalcameras are an acceptable alternative to film-based cameras.7.

Procedure8.1 The procedure for taking the multiple image photographis optimally performed in a darkened room to reduce ambientlight that decreases the visibility of the secondary images seenthrough the transparency. If the procedure is perf
22、ormed in thefield at night, turn off nearby lights that affect the visibility ofthe secondary images.8.2 Set up the light array so the center light is 7 m (23 ft 65 %) from the design eye position on the line of sightcorresponding to 0 azimuth, 0 elevation (Fig. 2). Set the arrayperpendicular (65) t
23、o the line of sight. For fieldmeasurements, attach the array to a maintenance stand toelevate it to the appropriate height, if necessary. Ensure that thearray is securely attached to the maintenance stand railing andavoid hitting the nose of the aircraft when moving the elevatedarray. If wind condit
24、ions present a hazard, do not attempt tomeasure.8.3 Turn the array board on.8.4 Place the camera in the design eye position and adjustthe camera such that the array is centered in the field of view;focus the lens on the center light of the array.8.5 Set the camera aperture to f/16 and the shutter sp
25、eed toan appropriate setting.8.6 Take the picture(s) and produce 8 by 10 prints or asuitable enlargement.8.7 On the photograph, measure the distance (L)inmmfrom the second primary light image to the sixth primary lightimage on the middle row. To ensure accuracy, use a precisionmeasuring device, such
26、 as a digital caliper.8.8 For each light in the 8 by 10 print, measure the linearseparation (r) in mm of the secondary image from the primaryimage using the calipers. Measure from the center of both spotswhen taking the measurement.9. Calculation9.1 To obtain the scale factor F, which relates the li

34、 Method F1165 isangular displacement (in mrads). This final angular valuedepends upon and is relative to the original photographicgeometry and enlargement size; therefore, no general precisionvalue in terms of angular displacement can be calculated orexpressed. The error in the method is due to peop
35、le usingcalipers to make actual physical measurements of separateddots of lights on photographs, not in the calculation of angulardisplacement. The precision values in milliradians for anyspecific implementation of this test can be obtained by substi-tuting the values of repeatability and reproducib
36、ility in 10.1.3into Eq 2 once the scale factor, F, is known.10.1.3 In summary, the statistical analysis (Practices E691and E177) revealed that the methods mean repeatability (Sr)was 0.128 mm and the mean reproducibility (SR) was 0.230mm. The mean 95 % limits for repeatability (r) was 0.353 mmand the
37、 mean 95 % limits for reproducibility (R) was 0.636mm.10.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no knownbias because the angular separation of the multiple image isdefined only in terms of the test method.11.

SELECTION OF ARRAY DISTANCEX2.1 This procedure was developed to permit the evaluationof multiple image parameters both in the laboratory and in thefield. Therefore, the equipment is portable in nature andaccommodates measure
45、ments on a variety of aircraft.X2.2 The selection of7masthedistance from the array tothe design eye location was made considering several factors:X2.2.1 The array is to clear the nose of large aircraft topermit field measurements of installed transparencies.X2.2.2 The distance is advised not to be e
46、xcessively long,so that laboratory measurements can be performed in areasonably sized room.X2.2.3 Shorter distances decrease the accuracy of the resultsbecause of the increased relative effect of lateral displacement.X2.3 If necessary, change the 7 m distance to meet addi-tional requirements. If thi
47、s change is done, the calculations inAppendix X1 must be repeated using the new distance value.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
