As the aircraft descends through heights of 45 m to 22. 5 m above the runway... the pilot becomes more aware of the expanding runway scene as visual cues are observed to move rapidly outward from the center of expansion. This is due to the speed of the "flowing visual field" increasing at a rate inversely proportional to the distance of the pilot. 1, record 7, English, - flowing%20visual%20field

Alors que l'avion descend en passant à des hauteurs variant de 45 m à 22,5 m au-dessus de la piste (...), le pilote devient plus conscient de la position relative de la piste et il voit les repères visuels se déplacer rapidement à partir du point de fuite vers l'extérieur. Cette impression est due au fait que la vitesse du "champ visuel flottant" augmente en raison inverse de l'éloignement du pilote. 1, record 7, French, - champ%20visuel%20flottant

Ordinarily in speaking of perceived motion, reference is made to the "movement of an object". In dealing with a pilot's use of visual aids, however, it is apparent that what is involved is the "movement of the observer" which is accompanied by expansion of the visual scene as the pilot directs his aircraft toward the runway. The point towards which the flight path is directed is the center of expansion-the point where visual cues are motionless. 1, record 8, English, - center%20of%20expansion

Généralement, lorsque l'on parle de mouvements perçus, il est fait mention du "mouvement d'un objet". Cependant, lorsqu'il s'agit de l'utilisation des aides visuelles par un pilote, il est évident que le mouvement en cause est le "mouvement de l'observateur" qui est accompagné de l'élargissement du champ visuel à mesure que le pilote se rapproche de la piste. Le point vers lequel est orientée la trajectoire de vol est le point de fuite, c'est-à-dire le point où les repères visuels paraissent immobiles. 1, record 8, French, - point%20de%20fuite
