Cockpit Accommodation in USN/USMC Helicopters

Abstract

Anthropometric accommodation guidance for USN/USMC helicopters is outdated, undocumented, and in some cases nonexistent. Recent reassignments of aviators within the USN/USMC due to poor accommodation have highlighted an area where operational dollars could be saved by safely and correctly assigning candidate aviators to a specific training and career pipeline. These issues were revealed during the course of NAVAIRSYSCOM (PMA-202) Aircrew Accommodation Expansion Program where NAVAIR 4.6 at Patuxent River was tasked to perform a baseline accommodation assessment 0 fin-service USN/USMC aircraft.
