Introduction
Visual illusions take place when conditions modify the flight crew perception of the environment relative to his / her expectations.
Visual illusions may result in landing short of the runway, hard landing or runway overrun, but also cause spatial disorientation and loss of control.
This Briefing Note provides an overview of:
.  
Factors and conditions that may cause visual illusions;

.  
How visual illusions affect the pilot’s perception of the airport / runway environment and runway; and,

.  
How to lessen the effects of visual illusions by implementing related prevention strategies and lines-of-defense in training and line operation.

Statistical Data
Visual approaches are a causal factor in 30 % of all approach-and-landing accidents and in 40 % of fatal accidents.
Visual approaches at night present a greater exposure because of reduced visual cues, increased likelihood of visual illusions and risk of spatial disorientation.
Low visibility and/or precipitations are a circumstantial factor in more than 70 % of approach-and-landing accidents, including those involving CFIT.
% of Events 
Night time  75 % 
Low visibility  70 % 
IMC  59 % 
Darkness or twilight  53 %
