Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

Contrast sensitivity (CS) has been reported (Ginsburg et al., 1983) to be strongly related to pilots' aircraft detection performance; however, examination of their results shows a lack of consistency for the CS at any particular spatial frequency to correlate with detection, even for days with similar visibility conditions. To further investigate this relationship, sixty-seven (67) USAF pilots were divided among 8 groups, individually isolated in a bus near the end of a runway on separate days, and detected a T-38 jet aircraft during about 8 landings. CS was measured using the criterion-free two-alternative, temporal forced-choice (2 AFC) technique on the Optronix and with the Vistech VCTS 6500 chart. Visual acuity was assessed at three contrast
