Book excerpt: In nap-of-the-earth (NOE) flight a helicopter moves at less than treetop height and at variable airspeeds, using natural features for concealment--a dangerous procedure requiring great skill in flying and in navigation. This report identifies specific areas in which NOE training might be improved. Information from agencies and operational units provided data for analysis of NOE mission requirements, aircrew task analyses, and performance requirements for emergencies. Training objectives derived from the analyses were verified, compared with existing NOE training programs, and used to suggest improvements. Problems in navigation and orientation are the major hazard in NOE flight and training improvements should concentrate in these areas. Suggestions for ground-based training aids are visual (cinematic) simulation, a map-interpretation manual for NOE use, and techniques of ground-level orienteering. Suggestions for flight-based training are procedures such as more practice in re-orientation, equipment such as map displays, and policies such as flying over more varied terrain. Results of the analyses were validated by ARI's field research program and used as the basis for developing the experimental Map Interpretation Terrain Analysis Course (MITAC) now being evaluated at the Army Aviation School, Fort Rucker, Alabama.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assist the Army in identifying and developing potential improvements in nap-of-the-earth (NOE) training at the entry and unit levels. To accomplish this purpose, statements of NOE training objectives were derived, based on a detailed analysis of mission requirements and aircrew tasks, and the most promising methods of improving training to meet those objectives were identified. Part I of this study, published as an ARI Research Report, describes the technical approach and methods of the study, the results obtained, and the conclusions and recommendations. As part of the project, a detailed analysis of the functions and tasks required of Army helicopter crews in NOE operations was performed to provide the essential data base for identifying training requirements, and these detailed task descriptions were analyzed to derive specifications of the training objectives that would have to be met to achieve aircrew proficiency in NOE operations. The results are documented in Part II of the study.
