Six male volunteers from the graduating entry level flight program at the US Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), Fort Rucker, Alabama, served as subjects in an investigation of the ability of helicopter pilots to fly while wearing chemical defense (CD) ensembles in hot weather. Each subject flew on three separate days, wearing a different ensemble each day. The ensembles tested were the United States Army Aircrew chemical defense ensemble, the United Kingdom aircrew chemical defense ensemble, and the United States Army standard flight suit uniform. While subjects made statistically larger heading errors while wearing the US chemical defense ensemble, no operationally significant differences in performance were seen. It was also concluded that a pilots's performance was not an indicator of heat stress.
