Familiarization was obtained with a helicopter flight control cueing concept developed by a retiring senior flight instructor, with emphasis on its potential application to night vision imaging systems. It consisted of a simple set of windshield marks arranged to provide precision in contact control of pitch attitudes. Students trained with it seemed to find advanced contact and instrument training much easier than traditionally trained students, and experienced helicopter pilots introduced to the concept felt it provided substantial improvement in their control precision. Conclusions from this exploratory familiarization were that Buettner-type cue sets (a) have potential for reducing perceptual ambiguities in helicopter control with night vision devices, (b) increase precision and lead in helicopter contact control, (c) should provide a high level of transfer to instrument training, (d) with slight extension have potential as an approach aid, particularly for an underslung night vision device, and (e) appear to have potential for very simple helicopter simulator visual displays that should have considerable value for initial of transition training.
