Abstract:
The report is the fourth in a series dealing with the pilot disorientationvertigo problem in Regular Army UH-1 helicopter operations. Individual case history data extracted from the USAAAVS master aircraft accident files are presented on major orientation-error accidents that occurred in UH-1 aircraft during fiscal year 1970. Summary listings involving a variety of operational and pilot-related accident factors are presented for each of the 42 cases. The listings are arranged to distinguish between factors and events before takeoff, i.e., the initial conditions associated with a given accident, and those which occurred or were manifested during the actual airborne phase of the accident flight.
