This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This aviator heat stress study used a between test subjects design with one environmental condition (hot) and two current (U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine Corps vs. U.S. Army) rotary wing MOPP4 ensembles encumbered with additional ballistic protective and overwater survival components. Four U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) aviators (2 UH-60 crews) were tested in the hot condition and their physiological, subjective, and flight performance responses compared to those of 14 Army aviators (9 crews) who tested in the same condition in a previous related study. The environmental condition consisted of 100 deg F (dry bulb) and 20 percent relative humidity (RH) in an environmental chamber where test subjects walked on a treadmill for 20 minutes to simulate preflight outdoor activities, and 100 deg F and 50 percent RH (90 deg F wet bulb globe temperature WBGT) in the UH-60 simulator. Every 30 minutes the right seat pilot encountered instrument meteorological conditions and ascended to 2000 feet to perform a 10 minute set of standard maneuvers. These maneuvers included straight and level (SL), right standard rate turn (RSRT), left climbing turn (LCT), and left descending turn (LDT). After each iteration of the set of standard maneuvers, the pilot returned to nap of the earth (NOE) and contour flight between control points. The right seat pilot also performed up to four 1 minute hovers (HOVs) and hover turns (HOVTs) in the 2 hour sortie and three in the second 2 hour sortie.
Book Synopsis Effects of Heat Stress and an Encumbered Aviator Uniform on Flight Performance in a UH-60 Helicopter Simulator by : Matthew J. Reardon
Download or read book Effects of Heat Stress and an Encumbered Aviator Uniform on Flight Performance in a UH-60 Helicopter Simulator written by Matthew J. Reardon and published by . This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects on flight performance of the four combinations of an unencumbered level-zero MOPP0 aviator battle dress uniform and encumbered MOPP4 over ABDU flight ensemble in cool and hot UH-60 simulator cockpit conditions were evaluated. This report describes the flight performance results. Every 30 minutes, the right seat pilot encountered instrument meteorological conditions and ascended to 2000 feet to perform a 10-minute set of standard maneuvers. After each iteration of the set of standard maneuvers, the pilot returned to nap-of-the-earth (NOE) and contour flight between control points. The right seat pilot also performed four 1-minute hovers (HOVs) and hover turns (HOVTs). The simulator's data acquisition system captured relevant combinations of airspeed, altitude, turn and climb rates, trim, and roll for each type of flight maneuver, as well as cyclic and collective inputs during HOV and HOVT. The encumbered MOPP4 uniform was associated with reduced averaged composite scores (ACS) for five of eight maneuvers. ACS values were significantly lower for 5 of 29 separately scored flight systems parameters. The hot temperature condition reduced the ACS for only one (RSRT) of eight maneuvers. For the iterations of the maneuvers flown with AFOS on, the encumbered MOPP4 ensemble was associated with significantly lower ACS for 3 of 8 maneuvers and 5 of the 29 separately scored flight parameters. With AFCS off, the encumbered MOPP4 uniform significantly degraded the composite ACS for 2 of 4 maneuvers comprising the set of standard maneuvers that were alternately flown with AFCS off and 5 of 17 separately scored flight parameters. The hot temperature was associated with reduced composite ACS values for two of the four flight maneuvers.

This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This aviator heat stress study used a mixed between/within test subject design with one environmental condition (hot) and three rotary-wing MOPP4 ensembles (Special Operations Aviation Regiment SOAR), Air Warrior Concept 1, and Air Warrior Concept 3) encumbered with ballistic protection and over- water survival components. The SOAR ensemble was tested with (SC) and without (SX) microclimate cooling (MCC) consisting of a water-cooled undershirt with portable refrigerator/pump. Air Warrior Concept 1 and Concept 3 aviator MOPP4 ensembles were tested with (AC) and without (AX) MCC, respectively. Physiological and subjective data were obtained to compare thermoregulatory responses and quantitate the benefits of microclimate cooling. Test sessions consisted of a 20-minute treadmill walk in a heated (100 deg F and 20 percent relative humidity RH) environmental chamber to stimulate outdoor preflight activities, followed by three 2-hour sorties in a research UH-60 simulator with cockpit conditions set at 1000F and 50 percent RH (90 deg F wet-bulb globe temperature WBGT).

This book was released on 1992 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of microclimate cooling on aviator performance and physiology in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) individual protective equipment (IPE) were evaluated in the USAARL UH-60 research flight simulator. Sixteen male aviators flew the simulator in two temperature conditions, 95 deg F and 105 deg F, both at 50 percent relative humidity (RH). Two thermoelectric conditioning units were used, one providing cooled blown air, the other cooled water to the aviators. At each temperature, they flew for up to 6 hours in NBC IPE with no cooling, air cooling, and liquid cooling. There was an extra condition at 105 deg F when vent air with no cooling was blown through the air vest, making a total of seven test conditions. There were significant improvements in flight performance as a result of the cooling, more so at the higher temperature. Also, there were differences between the two cooling systems at 105 deg F, with the air system producing significantly lower flight error rates. Survival time was based on the length of time each subject stayed in the condition before reaching physiological withdrawal criteria (rectal temperature of 39 deg C or heart rate of 150 beats per minute for 15 minutes) or exercising their option to retire early. There were considerable increases in survival time with the use of microclimate cooling. The mean survival time at 95 deg F was increased to 385 minutes with the liquid system from 285 minutes without cooling. At 105 deg F to 333 minutes for the air system from 79 minutes with no cooling, the improvement was even more dramatic. There were significant differences between the two cooling systems at 105 deg F with the air system producing longer survival times.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Program Manager, U.S. Army Aircrew Integrated Systems (PM-ACIS) requested that the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), Fort Rucker, Alabama, assess the physiological and psychological effects of heat stress exposure for aviators wearing encumbered chemical defense level-4 mission oriented protective posture (MOPP4) ensembles. This project was conducted under a joint agreement between USAARL and the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), Natick, Massachusetts. The methodology for assessing heat stress in an environmentally controlled helicopter simulator was established in previous studies conducted at USAARL (Reardon et al., 1996; Reardon et al., 1997; Reardon et al., 1998).

Download or read book Microclimate Cooling and the Aircrew Chemical Defense Ensemble written by Glenn Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychological, physiological, and operational effects of sustained aviation operations in the standard US Army chemical defense ensemble were studied in six male aviators during continuous 6-day sessions in a hot, humid field environment. Standard aviation mission durations and profiles were flown in a specially-equipped JUH-1H helicopter while wearing level IV mission-oriented protective posture (MOPP IV) garments. A single case design was used to investigate the effects of microclimate cooling devices of both air and liquid medium design. Results show that cooling is not physiologically necessary below cockpit temperatures of 29 C WBGT although subjective benefit was reported. Above 29 C WBGT cockpit temperature with closed aircraft windows and doors, microclimate cooling was necessary to avoid adverse effects of body core temperature increases.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six male volunteers from the graduating entry level flight program at the US Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), Fort Rucker, Alabama, served as subjects in an investigation of the ability of helicopter pilots to fly while wearing chemical defense (CD) ensembles in hot weather. Each subject flew on three separate days, wearing a different ensemble each day. The ensembles tested were the United States Army Aircrew chemical defense ensemble, the United Kingdom aircrew chemical defense ensemble, and the United States Army standard flight suit uniform. While subjects made statistically larger heading errors while wearing the US chemical defense ensemble, no operationally significant differences in performance were seen. It was also concluded that a pilots's performance was not an indicator of heat stress.
Book Synopsis Spatial Disorientation Demonstration Flight for U. S. Army Aviators in the TH-67, UH-1, and UH-60 Helicopters by : Arthur Estrada
Download or read book Spatial Disorientation Demonstration Flight for U. S. Army Aviators in the TH-67, UH-1, and UH-60 Helicopters written by Arthur Estrada and published by . This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) occurs when a pilot misperceives the position, motion, or attitude of his or her aircraft. In wartime, the risk of SD is heightened by the extra pressure on sensory and cognitive resources. During Operation Desert Shield/Storm, 81 percent of U.S. Army aviation nighttime accidents were ascribed to SD. An important countermeasure to SD is the aviator's awareness of his physiological vulnerability to SD and the circumstances in which SD is most likely to occur. Consequently, all military aviators must attend courses of instruction in SD. Most student pilots are given instruction during their flight training on how to overcome the effects of SD, but few air services provide a specific SD demonstration sortie to augment ground-based training. An in-flight demonstration of SD reinforces knowledge of the limitations of the orientation senses in flight and enhances aircrew awareness of potentially disorientating situations. Due to anticipated funding and asset changes at the U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), Fort Rucker, Alabama, flight training may be affected and undergo revision. In an effort to be responsive to future training requirements and as the developer of this SD flight training, USAARL is publishing this report containing the SD demonstration flight lesson plans for the TH-67, UH-1, and UH-60 helicopters.
