Successful mission accomplishment on today's air-land battlefield requires that attack helicopter crews place effective fire on the enemy without being destroyed themselves. The key to effective helicopter gunnery is a realistic training program. This manual recommends an aerial gunnery training program that enables a unit to attain and maintain combat proficiency. Aerial gunnery tables for qualification and continuation training of crews and teams are included. Examples are given of aerial gunnery skills tests, scorecards, and range layouts for an aerial gunnery program.
