A study was performed to assess the accuracy for Army aviators in estimating self-altitude in the simulator and to determine the effects of performance feedback on the training of this capability. Results with 11 aviators showed that altitude estimation was more accurate over land than water while cruising at higher altitudes (>50 ft) and more accurate over water than over land while hovering over lower altitudes.
