METHOD FOR VISUAL LANDING AND KIRILLOV DEVICE FOR VISUALIZING TAKEOFF OR LANDING OF AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

The invention relates to aircraft takeoff or landing indicator devices. The method for the visual landing of an aircraft comprises determining the altitude of the aircraft on the basis of an on-board altimeter and using the human eye. The pilots determine the altitude of the aircraft in relation to the entry edge of the runway and the lateral deviation of the aircraft relative to the axial line of the runway using video cameras arranged on main rear supports of the chassis, the aircraft is levelled over the landing surface using video cameras arranged on a left rear support and a right rear support of the chassis, and the moment of landing of the aircraft and the position of the landing point on the runway are determined according to the moment at which the wheels of the chassis start to rotate and the moment at which the smoke of burning rubber appears. The device for visualizing aircraft takeoff or landing comprises video cameras which are mounted in the aircraft on moving platforms and are connected to a display arranged in the cockpit, wherein at least one video camera is arranged on the rear support of the chassis of the aircraft. This makes it possible to increase the visual information relating to the position of the aircraft and the wheels of all of the supports of the chassis of said aircraft relative to the landing surface and the aircraft itself, and also to increase the speed with which such information is produced when the pilot has no direct visual contact with the airfield during takeoff or landing.
