Specialized Training versus Experience in Helicopter Navigation at Extremely Low Altitudes

Abstract

An experiment was performed to determine if navigation skills acquired in general flight would transfer to flight at extremely low levels and if the transfer could be matched by specialized training. Since the effects of extensive experience were matched by only 15 hours of special training, transfer may not be as extensive as previously assumed.
