Vibration Exposure Characterization and Health Risk Assessment of the UH-1N Iroquois

Abstract

This study characterized and assessed aircrew vibration during operation of the UH-1N Iroquois helicopter owned and operated by the413th Flight Test Squadron, Duke Field, Eglin AFB FL. The study was part of a collaboration between the Army Public Health Center and the Air Force Research Laboratory, and was funded by the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment. The ISO 2631-1: 1997 was used as the guideline for the assessments. Triaxial accelerations were collected at the floor/seat base, seat pan, and seat back interfaces at the pilot station and flight engineer station, and on the pilot helmet.
