The black hole approach is a documented night visual illusion that makes pilots feel too high on final - leading to controlled flight into terrain on clear, calm nights.
PatternHow Don Bateman's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System transformed CFIT from one in four fatal commercial accidents to statistical near-zero.
VectorThe Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System autonomously recovers an F-16 from terrain collision in seconds - and has saved eight or more pilots who were unconscious at the controls.
VectorSynthetic vision technology gives instrument pilots a continuous 3D terrain picture generated in real time from GPS and elevation data, dramatically reducing CFIT accidents in general aviation.
VectorHow Don Bateman's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System used GPS and a global terrain database to eliminate controlled flight into terrain from modern commercial aviation.
VectorThe black hole approach illusion causes pilots to descend into terrain on clear nights - here's the instrument discipline that prevents it.
PatternHow Don Bateman's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System solved controlled flight into terrain by closing a critical cockpit information gap - and what GA pilots need to know today.
VectorHow Don Bateman's Ground Proximity Warning System and terrain databases nearly eliminated controlled flight into terrain accidents.
VectorAuto-GCAS automatically rolls an F-16 level and pulls away from the ground when the pilot is unconscious or disoriented, saving lives and aircraft.
VectorRadio Hangar explores Don Bateman, the Ground Proximity Warning System, and the Automated Voice That Taught Airplanes to Say 'Pull Up'.
VectorHow Auto-GCAS quietly monitors an F-16's flight path and takes control at the last recoverable instant to save pilots who have blacked out.
