The findings reported here represent a detailed analysis of tactical rotary-wing aircrew communication patterns and content. This research is part of an extensive effort to investigate the nature of tactical aircrew coordination and to develop effective mission-oriented aircrew coordination training. The primary objectives of this research were to answer the following questions: (1) What specific communication patterns and content are demonstrated by different helicopter crewmembers (i.e., Helicopter Aircraft Commander - HAC and Helicopter 2nd Pilot - H2P); (2) Do tactical aircrew communication patterns and content vary as a function of the performance demands and requirements of different flight conditions (i.e., routine and non-routine); (3) Are the communication patterns and content of more effective aircrews different from those of less effective aircrews; (4) What similarities exist between the communication patterns and content of military rotary-wing aircrews and commercial fixed-wing aircrews; and (5) Can the results of the communication analyses have an impact on aircrew coordination training.
