Aviation doctors have constantly verified that most of the literature on Monocular Piloting is based either on theoretical arguments or on laboratory experiments. We seek in this article, to make a review of what the best authors think about the subject. We believe that we can generalize a line of conduct concerning the exercise of piloting by individuals with vision in one eye in our country: they should not be allowed to initiate learning to pilot; For aviators, already in exercise of air activity, each case must be evaluated individually, being decisive the observation of its real performance in landings and takeoffs.
