abstract="The 1974 and 1975 aircraft accident experiences of civilian pilots with eight selected static physical defects have been examined and reported previously. Three categories--blindness or absence of either eye, deficient color vision with a waiver, and deficient distant vision--had significantly more accidents than were expected on the basis of observed-to-expected ratios. In 1975, accident rates were calculated. The rates for air men with blindness or absence of an eye were still found to be significantly higher. Observed-to-expected ratios for 1976 were 1.91 for deficient color vision with a waiver, 1.28 for contact lens users, 1.37 for blindness or absence of either eye, and 1.62 for deficient distant vision. The accident rates per 100,000 h of cumulative and last 6 months' flying experience were significantly greater for contact lens users and monocular pilots than for the active airman population. The other groups had no consistently significant differences.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
