Operational Use of UH-1H Helicopters in Southeast Asia
Abstract
From operational usage parameter measurements on three UH-1H helicopters, 203 hours of valid multichannel flight data were recorded while the helicopters operated from bases in Southeast Asia. Data were processed and analyzed according to four flight phases, called mission segments: ascent, maneuver, descent, and steady state. Data are presented in the form of time and occurrence tables, cumulative frequency distribution curves, and exceedance curves. These data indicate the time spent in the mission segments and parameter ranges; the number of peak parameter values occurring in the ranges of the given parameter during each of the mission segments, and in the ranges of one or more related parameters; and the time to reach or exceed given maneuver or gust normal load factors. The data presented were recorded between September 1971 and March 1972.
