A AH-64D Apache helicopter flight student air taxis his aircraft “down the pad” at Ech Stagefield, Fort Rucker, Ala. May 22, 2013 during the 21-week course to become an Army Aviator. The student is controlling his aircraft inside a "bag." In the bag phase of training, a student’s cockpit windows are completely covered.  The goal is to force the student pilot to fly the aircraft solely by reference to the AH64 HMD, also known as the Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting System (IHADSS).  The IHADSS provides a monocular display of the outside of the aircraft via television or thermal sensor on the nose of the aircraft.  Some students experience motion sickness during the incipient part of bag training, but this generally resolves within a few flights.  (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Kosterman)
