Within the framework of the information-processing model, it is clear that the workload was remarkably excessive, combined with a very distracting element. It seems remarkable that the pilot was able to function as well as he did under the circumstances.

The ultimate failure in execution resulted from task saturation of available attentional resources. This increased workload was exacerbated by a lack of depth perception with regard to height, as well as distraction due to the imminent danger of death by collision with another aircraft — in this case, the helicopter.

The human factors leading to this situation were not only those of the pilot in the cockpit; they extend to the change in the planned flightpath — which exacerbated the change in the actual flightpath — combined with the change in position of the helicopter before the flight sequence. Inadequate briefing of the helicopter pilot compounded the problem.
