Abstract

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.
