All Army AH-1 aircraft accidents which occurred during CY 71 through CY 76 are analyzed for in-flight emergencies that are compatible with in-flight escape systems. An in-flight emergency model which considers the in-flight escape system sequence is discussed. The benefits, in terms of injury avoidance and cost savings, of in-flight escape systems are estimated. The potential benefits of in-flight escape systems are projected over a 20-year operational life of the attack helicopter fleet. Recommendations are made based on these results.
