Study of Pilot Visual Information Requirements for Navy Vertical Take-Off and Landing Capability Development,

Abstract

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of pilot visual landing aid requirements for operation of helicopters and V/STOL aircraft from ship and shorebased sites. The report is organized into eight sections starting with this introduction which further describes the requirement, background and approach to the study. The last four sections detail the terminology used to define pilot information, data tabulated as a result of pilot surveys, and typical existing VLA configurations. The analysis of the pilot data, evaluation of existing sources and identification of deficiencies are discussed in Section II for Helicopters and Section III for the AV-8A. The conclusions of the study, performance requirements, and recommendations are described in Section IV.
