It is anticipated that conventional primary flight controls will be replaced by side-arm devices in future rotary-wing aircraft. Side-arm controls are projected to have certain ergonomic advantages that will greatly enhance a helicopter pilot's mission capability. Several studies have been conducted to test their feasibility, their handling qualities, and the optimal configuration; but little work has been done to anticipate what human factors implications side-arm controls will have once integrated into the cockpit. Sixteen scout and attack helicopter pilots were interviewed regarding side-arm primary flight controls. Interviewee responses reflected some new as well as already identified problem areas. The authors suggest that these issues be addressed before actual implementation is made.
