ABSTRACT:
In rescuing victims from such disasters as burning building with rescue ls or platforms, on in-flight refueling, and on hooking cargo hooks onto load rings, it is difficult to align the lines, platforms, hooks, or hoses, with the objects they are working with. It is a challenge for the pilot to maintain the proper position of his aircraft by means of voice directions and visual cues. Under normal visual conditions, the task is not easy. Under low visibility conditions the task can become very dangerous. A specialized optical assembly affording aircraft crewman the visibility for external coupling is provided herein. The invention enables the pilot to acquire an external load quickly and efficiently without ground assistance, even under instrument meterorological conditions.
