The role

The helo pilot maneuvers the helo tactically in order to accomplish the assigned mission. In attack helicopters he is responsible for employing unguided rockets (FFARs) or bombs, if the aircraft has them and communicates with the gunner to maintain the gunner's situational awareness. This includes notifying the gunner of locations of friendly forces, upcoming maneuvers, and anything else that might assist him. He maintains situational awareness around the aircraft at all times. The gunner is often focusing on a given target, such as when using the gunsight, and thus it is important that the pilot continue to scan.
