Revised Anthropometric Restrictions for US Navy and Marine Corps Trainer and Fixed Wing Nonejection Aircraft and US Coast Guard HU-25

Abstract

NAVAIRSYSCOM (PMA-202) tasked NAWCAD Patuxent River, Maryland, (AIR-4.6) to perform a baseline accommodation assessment of existing U.S. Navy (USN) and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) fixed wing nonejection aircraft and their respective trainer aircraft and establish anthropometric restriction codes (ARC's) as appropriate. The assessment also determined the estimated percentage of future candidate aviators suitable for flight duty in a particular aircraft with respect to their measured anthropometric characteristics. The percents reported were based on the population data set used to provide seven test cases cited in the Joint Services Specification Guidance 2010-3. The methods used in the assessment were different than procedures historically used to determine USN/USMC aviator suitability and to verify cockpit design with regard to aircrew accommodation. A multi variate statistical approach was employed and served as the basis for determining the safe accommodation envelopes for each platform /crew station. Revised ARC's are presented and the respective percents accommodated are summarized.
