Crew Stress and Fatigue in Prolonged Helicopter Missions. The Crested Rooster Program

Abstract

Aircrew stress and fatigue are being evaluated throughout prolonged helicopter (HH-53C) flights, as part of joint research by the School of Aerospace Medicine and the AF Satellite Control Facility (SAMSO, Los Angeles, Calif.). Data concern such factors as: Crew comfort modifications; Fatigue and sleep; Feeding systems; Workload; Heart rate; Endocrine-metabolic indices of stress; and Effects of a high noise/vibration environment. Information in this report is based on data from single long recovery missions. Tolerance to frequent long flights is not yet known, and will require further study.
