A study was made to determine visual recovery time from flashblindness in the F-4C aircraft simulator. When 1,080 lux (100 ft.-c.) panel illumination was used immediately after the pilot was exposed to a flash of light in the forward cockpit, visual recovery time was significantly reduced. Visual recovery time was significantly less in the F-4C simulator than that found by previous studies in the F-106 and the C-131 simulators, even though the same light source and recovery task were used. The effect of flashblindness on aircraft control in the F-4C was similar to that found in the F-106 and the C-131 studies. Even though recovery time is significantly shorter than that found in the F-106 simulator under the conditions of this test, there is evidence that flashblindness may still be a problem because of its effect on aircraft control in the F-4C aircraft simulator.
