Thoughts on the KC-130J crew concept.
Article Abstract:
There are two schools of thought on the elimination of the navigator in favor of the addition of a third pilot in the augmented crew station (ACS) of KC-130J, one stating that only a small percentage of tactical missions require the ACS to be manned while the other states that a pilot at the ACS would give better information to the aircraft commander than any other type of air crew. However, the author believes that in adverse situations there is a need for the ACS to be manned and the individual occupying that seat should be professional, experienced and tactically sound.
