a.Huma-i Fac@@ors. Not la@@cr ".han this phase of ooera-.,-ons,
each soldier to some degree ad"npted his a"@titudo and realigned
personal. priorities for impending combat. All decisions riade
during this phase were naturally affected by the exooctation of
entering combat operations a-, any -Iii,-,e. Specific areas involving
pr;-,-,iarily human factors included:
(1) Night ODerations. Nigh", flight operations wore c;-tod
as the "dumbest" t@irg we did in SWA by a4---crews surveyed after
the operation. Survey results are rt"lached as encl 2. When
combined wit@ material and environmental orobleirs associated with
this task it became the squadrons h,-ghe;-, risk -n,'-ssion. Human
factors were the prilary cause of the OH-58 Class C mishap 24
Dece-,ibar. They were a contributing factor in the crash of All-
1 on 7 February. Both accidents occurred during hours of
dankness. Veh;-cl.e opera"-ions at night were also extremely
difficult. Vehicle crows could easily become misorientated for
long periods of title while driving at nigh-,.
(2) Low level/iii-gh Speed Flight. Near continuous flight in
the "avoid" area of heigh@, velocity diagrams was required for
survivability. Human limitations of emergency
....-...recognition/reaction time combined with inherent aircraft
z-:---@-.responses made flight in this mode@ constant high risk.
