Twenty feet away the pilot sits in a
chair with two long strings in his
hands, the other ends Of which are
attached to the movable post. His
duty is to pull the movable post up to
a position parallel with the stationary
one.
Some aviators are unable to detect
how far back or forward the movable
post is from the stationary one and
after maneuvering with the strings
for a while express satisfaction that
the two are parallel. Upon inspect
ing the machine closer, they find they
have been or inches away.
Those flyers who are in good condi-
ton can, according to DR.. Davies,
bring the movable post within the
fraction of an inch from the station

mitted is an inch. Over that space
there is something wrong.

ing it must level off at a distance 5
or 10 feet above the ground or water
and then ease down gently to the sur
face. If the pilots perception ability
is poor, he may fly straight into the

unable to tell him it is time to level
off,"
Once a year the Navy gives it's
aviators what is known as IN. M. S.
Aviation No. /" and what is known
in the Army as "609." This is a
thorough examination from the top
of the head to the bottom of the feet
and if an airman falls down on this
test his future career as a military
aviator is in danger. The Army gives
the similar test to its pilots once every
six months. However, DIR. Davies is
empowered to submit a pilot to the
