To determine the minimum crew complement required for an Advanced Tanker/Cargo Aircraft a series of contractor and AF task analysis were reviewed and evaluated. Coupled with these analyses was a series of flight tests which verified some task time and procedures required for Advanced Tanker/Cargo Aircraft. It was concluded that a three-man crew (P, CP, Boom Operator) had crew work overloads during several flight segments and this crew size would be unacceptable in an Emergency War Order (EWO) environment. A four-man crew (P, CP, N/FE and Boom Operator) was the most advantageous and could handle most tasks below a 100% task loading. (Author)
