The Basic Map Interpretation and Terrain Analysis Course (MITAC) Narrative

Abstract

The map interpretation and terrain analysis course (MITAC) was upgraded to a computer-based training format to correct deficiencies in low altitude navigation training for helicopters pilots. This report describes the narrative used to produce a set of videodiscs to store the course content for individual study. The narrative is divided into six sections that describe the interpretation of different kinds of topographic features (e.g., terrain relief, hydrography, vegetation, cultural features) that can be used for navigation.
