Visual Problems and Night Landing Guidance of the CH-47 (Chinook) Helicopter.

Abstract

Visual ergonomics problems in the Chinook helicopter were investigated in a study following an earlier, broader ergonomics study by ARL Cybernetics Group. Important visual problems do occur in the Chinook and solutions or further studies are suggested as appropriate. Brief trials of tactical night landing devices were observed, and these are discussed in the light of previous DSTO participation in the development of visual landing guidance systems. Improvements to the devices currently in use are necessary to improve operational effectiveness and flight safety. (Author).
