BOSTON, Sept 7 -(X)- A new
major cause of airplane accidents,
discovered by the U. S. army air
force, was reported to the Ameri

The trouble is cockpit dials too
hard for pilots to read. The re
port; was made by Walter F. Gre
ther aero medical laboratory,

Dayton, Ohio.
Ah instrument whose face looks
like; a clock, with three hands, is
the worst offender. It tells a pilot I flew southward.
his altitude. Pilots misread this
dial jmore than ten per cent of the
time because it is so difficult.
a Worse by far than the mistake
of misreading, Grether said, is
the jfact that they nearly always
make the altitude one thousand
feet jhigher than it actually is. This
mistake is always one thousand
feetj and not a smaller and safer
error. It may account for pilots
being close to mountains when
theyj think they are safely above.
Grether told of a pilot who tried
to fly his plane into the ground
because he made this thousand
foot! mistake when close to the
ground' of an airport.
At the aero laboratory new al
timeters are being designed to
eliminate this mistake.
