In order to identify critical situations during helicopter missions, incident reports from army pilots for a 5 yr period were analyzed. An empirical study in which helicopter pilots reported incidents with regard to causes and degree of risk was carried out. Results show errors to be most common during preflight procedures, tactical missions, and landing. The most common errors are procedure errors, faulty judgements of observations, and shortcomings in exterior supervision. The dominating main cause is disturbance of the pilot.
