During the war the air force lost more than half as many pilots in training accidents as it lost in com bat. An air force study of the ex periences of 460 flyers since the war disclosed one important fact: All pilots make mistakes some times. Some pilots make more errors than others, and some errors are more common than others. Half of all the errors reported were "substitutions"—that is, oper ating the wrong control, such as low ering the wing flap instead of the landing gear. Nearly one-fifth were "adjust ment"—moving a control too much or too little or not moving it fast enough. Nearly one-fifth of the mistakes were simply forgetting to do some thing. Move Controls Wrong The rest of the errors were caused by moving a control the wrong way, moving it unintentionally or by not being able to reach it. Robert V. Garrett, chief pilot and senior accident investigator for a the civil aeronautics board, says two things need to be done: 1, Cockpits should be standard ized. 2. Pilots should be trained more. The air force and the navy have taken one important step toward standardization by grouping the six basic instruments used in flying." These are the air speed indicator, directional gyro-compass, ; artificial horizon, altimeter, turn I and bank indicator. Most errors, in fact about one fifth of all pilot mistakes, occur in the "power group"—the four handles which control fuel mixture, pro peller pitch, fuel and supercharger, They must be operated in that or der when increasing power, and in the reverse order to decrease it. Need Natural Arrangement 'blind The natural arrangement would appear to be to place the controls in the order of use, but few planes have it that way. The second most common failing —confusing flap and wheels—ac counts for one error in eight. In most airplanes those controls are in the same area and sometimes have the same shape. Both are used in landings and takeoffs. Garrett proposes that all cock pits be standarized, whether for commercial or private military, planes. A further step might be changing the movement of some controls, such from horizontal to vertical or rotary. Still another step might be to place the light used to show whether a control is on or off right in the handle instead of above, be low or beside it. The next big move for safety is to increase training. Flight train It costs as much as ing is expensive. $1,500 an hour in a large 4-engme When a mistake occurs it be very expensive, but not as it would be at a later as plane, can expensive as date. Industry Goes Automatic Use of automatic controls in manufacturing processes has in creased to the point that today ap proximately $1,600 of every $1,000,- , 000 expended for new plant equip ment goes into industrial instru ments, whereas the average in 1935 was $800 for each $1,000,000, a study by Minneapolis-Honeywell Regula tor company shows. \ \ \ VÎ \ . •**>*.** > A|R- Ct ) 0 lt|> \ COMFORTS ✓ ; m"// T/fHtCIOUS 7 IV '/# I >•/$ * 7 *.• X & > .4^1 W v I 9 ■ $ V 3» / v i V < 'l <ny^ âs 2&. *> 4 *■ 'A fm * *' 6 V « We keep them cool ... and carefully!
