Military Potential Test of Commercial 'Off the Shelf' Helicopters as Primary Helicopter Trainers,

Abstract

Six helicopters (PH-1, PH-4, PH-5, PH-6, PH-7 and PH-9) were tested to determine which commercial off-the-shelf FAA-certificated helicopters were suitable for use as primary helicopter trainers. It was concluded that the PH-4, PH-5, PH-6, and PH-7, after correction of the deficiencies and shortcomings listed in this report, will be suitable for Army use as primary helicopter trainers.
