The technique of multidimensional scaling is used in an attempt to determine any patterns utilized by Naval helicopter pilots when grouping a given set of stressors. Both grouping data and ranking data were collected and analyzed from a survey among pilots. Information gained through the ranking data consist of perceptions of the helicopter pilots on how the stressors affect certain performance aspects. Numerical output, as well as graphical plots, were generated to reflect these perceptions. Naval aviation, in general, is a high-stress environment. The variety of stresses associated with flying an aircraft have an impact on the effectiveness with which that task is performed. Helicopter flying has stressful situations, many of which, are unlike those of other aircraft. The missions, flight characteristics, and environment all contribute to these difficulties. It is important for the pilot to be aware of these stressful conditions in order to capably operate the helicoper. (Theses)
