A consortium of American universities was sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration to develop technical specifications for remote airfield lighting systems that would be used for nighttime operations by general (non-commercial) aircraft. The results from three psychophysical experiments are presented here dealing specifically with the effects of light source intensity, colour and flash frequency on both objective and subjective measures of behaviour under simulated flight conditions. Of special significance, this study showed for the first time that the unified system of photometry developed by Rea et al. (2004) to model the relative contributions of rods and cones for a given visual task could also be used to model the relative contributions of rods and cones for sequential visual tasks.
