The U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate conducted a pilot workload and aircraft handling qualities investigation of single pilot operation in the combat Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) environment. As predicted superimposing mission management tasks on NOE flight path management tasks resulted in degraded pilot Handling Quality Ratings (HQRs) and higher workload. Of the control configurations studied only one configuration was rated satisfactory for single pilot NOE flight in comparison to eight control configurations rated satisfactory for dual crewmember NOE flight.
