A preliminary study in which visual tasks, lighting utility, and ambient external light levels were examined on a time-task basis in an instrumented F4B aircraft. Methods included photometric and electrical recordings of the internal and external lighting environment of the aircraft. Also, pilot interviews, questionnaires, and direct observations of pilots in the F4B and other aircraft were employed. The results indicate that the methods employed are practical and that the visual tasks performed and ambient external lighting conditions are important determinants of lighting utility inside the cockpit.
