Visual Issues Survey of AH-64 Apache Aviators (Year 2000)

Abstract

A web-based survey was conducted investigating AH-64 Apache pilot experience with the Integrated Helmet Display Sighting System (IHADSS). A total of 216 respondents provided responses in the following areas: visual complaints, helmet fit, and acoustics. Data indicated that 92% of respondents reported at least one visual complaint either during or after IHADSS flight. Additional findings include: no association between eye preference and frequency of complaints, an increase in frequency of visual complaints from a previous 1990 study, and no correlation between frequency of visual complaints and age or experience.
