The present research effort sought to determine the validity of subjective workload estimates for Aircrew Training Manual (ATM) tasks for the UH-60 helicopter generated via a modified Delphi technique. Delphi weights were found to predict performance ratings on the ATM tasks; ATM tasks associated with accidents also had higher Delphi weights than did those not so associated.
