This report includes three experiment sections. The first experiment tested sensitivity to loss in altitude and demonstrated that: (1) preview effects led to adaptation; (2) sensitivity decreased with higher flow rates; and (3) sensitivity increased with higher optical texture densities and fractional loss. The second and third experiments…

Student interest in increased evening courses at Daytona Beach Campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) was investigated. The proportion of students employed while attending ERAU and student attitudes concerning evening or Saturday courses were also determined.
