I believe that is what GatorDev was getting at with his value of NATOPS or other military flight manuals comment.
That all seems down right reasonable. Even permissive, by USAF standards. Good on them.

If you can’t find an actual history, I’ve always been fond of the 16th Cavalry aero-scouts…the “Outcasts” with the motto “Low Level Hell.”The SW Chapter of the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation and Flying Museum's donated (by a private party) airworthy OH-6 went to paint yesterday. A local, wishing to be un-named, helicopter operation is donating the paint job. Will be in proper period Vietnam livery. Not sure of the unit markings yet. Still researching. In a few months our flying circus will include TH-55, OH-6, UH-1H and Cobra. The static display aircraft, trailered and museum, will include UH-1B gunship, UH-1M gunship, AH-1F, OH-6A. I am still jonesing for a O-1 Bird Dog I can fly.

Speaking of which: besides Low Level Hell and Chickenhawk (both of which I have & are excellent), can you recommend any books about this kind of flying?If you can’t find an actual history, I’ve always been fond of the 16th Cavalry aero-scouts…the “Outcasts” with the motto “Low Level Hell.”

Not Scout work, all Huey slicks. But not short of action. BLACK CAT 21 by Bob Ford. I read it specificly because most of what I was learning from my friends was Cobras and Gunships. Excellent. Good descriptions of getting quals and learning from senior CWOs (he was commissioned) while flying combat daily.Speaking of which: besides Low Level Hell and Chickenhawk (both of which I have & are excellent), can you recommend any books about this kind of flying?
