title: [Personnel with poor vision at fighter pilot school].
abstract: The piloting of fighting aircraft, the navigation of space-shuttle, the piloting of an helicopter in tactical flight at an altitude of 50 metres require the use of all sensorial, ocular, vestibular, proprioceptive ... sensors. So, the selection and the follow-up of these aerial engines' pilots need a very complete study of medical parameters, in particular sensorial and notably visual system. The doctors and the expert researchers in Aeronautical and spatial Medicine of the Army Health Department, which have in charge the medical supervision of flight crew, should study, create, and improve tests of visual sensorial exploration developed from fundamental and applied research. These authenticated tests with military pilots were applied in ophthalmology for the estimation of normal and deficient vision. A proposition to change norms of World Health Organisation applied to the vision has been following these to low visual persons was equally introduced.
