Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 55
If a pilot becomes too aroused and begins to enter Condition Red, the price he pays is loss of fine-motor skills. Having your helicopter pilot lose his fine-motor control as he makes a close approach on a hot landing zone is not a good thing. Pilots try to exist in a zen-like state of constant, mellow Yellow.
