Abstract

Helikopter uçuşlarında baskın ve gizliliğin ön planda tutulduğu planlamalarda geceden faydalanma önem kazanmakta ve geceyi avantaja çevirme konusunda gece görüş sistemleri önemli rol oynamaktadır. Gece uçuşlarının icra edildiği zaman aralığı ve ilave takılan teçhizat, yorgunluğa; yorgunlukta havacılık anlamında, dikkat azalmasına, konsantrasyon güçlüğüne ve hatalı karar verme gibi sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmayla, gece icra edilen uçuşlarda, fazladan takılan uçuş teçhizatının yarattığı bazı kısıtların iyileştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Literatürden faydalanmak suretiyle gece görüş gözlüklerine ait özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla anket oluşturulmuştur. İlgili firmalardan temin edilen farklı fosfor tiplerinde (beyaz ve yeşil) gece görüş gözlükleri ile uçuş icra edilmiştir. Pilotlardan, anket yöntemiyle, her tip gece görüş gözlüğüne ait, derinlik algısı, kontrast hassasiyeti, mesafe tahmini hassasiyeti, hale etkisi, beden yorgunluğu, boyun ağrısı şiddeti ve göz yorgunluğunu şiddetinin belirtilmesi istenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmada, pilotların farklı tipte gece görüş gözlüğü kullanılarak icra ettiği uçuşlarda bilişsel yorgunluğun tespiti ve bu durumun sonuçlarının ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Mesafe tahmini, derinlik algısı gibi hususlarda, beyaz fosforlu gece görüş gözlüğünün, yeşil fosforlu gece görüş gözlüğüne göre daha iyi sonuçlar vermiş olsa da, farklı ay durumu, farklı çevresel uçuş ortamları (karla örtülü arazi, sık orman gibi) ve farklı görev tiplerinde, daha uzun süre uçularak denenmesinin uygun olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
