Introduction 139G0290X002

CAT A Operations for Confined Area, Offshore Helideck and Clear

Area procedures are permitted at Take-Off and Landing weights up to
6800 kg. See Supplement 50 for WAT limitations and performance
information for weights between 6400 kg and 6800 kg.
Aircraft fitted with EPIC Software Phase 5 or later have dedicated CAT
A symbology on the PFD for the following procedures: Helipad,
Elevated Helipad, Short field and Back Up. See Supplement 68 for
details.
For limitations, procedures and performance information not contained
in this Supplement, consult the basic RFM.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SELECTION OF CAT A PROCEDURE

Take-Off
The Category A procedures are constructed to allow different Take-off
sites to be used.
For a Ground Level or Elevated Heliport/Helideck, without obstacles in
the take off flight path, the Vertical procedure with TDP fixed at 35 ft
(10 m) can be used.
If, however, there are obstacles in the take off flight path, then the
Vertical procedure with an Extended TDP (TDPE) can possibly be
used up to a TDP height of 70 ft (21 m) ATS to obtain the required
clearance over the obstacle.
If the maximum TDPE is not sufficient to clear the obstacle then the
Heliport Back Up technique could possibly be used as this has a
higher maximum TDPE of 400 ft (122 m) ATS.
A Short Field Technique, with a vertical climb to a TDPE up to 400 ft
(122 m) AGL, is available if there is sufficient surface to carry out a
Rejected Take Off.
A Ground Level or Elevated Heliport Confined Area Technique is
available for Take Off from areas that do not have the required
clearance in the back up path for the Heliport Back up technique but
require a high TDP (up to 400 ft (122 m) ATS) to clear obstacles in the
take off profile, and require the ability to carry out a Rejected Take Off
back to the take off position.

 AW139 - RFM - 4D Supplement 12
Document N° CAT A Operations
139G0290X002 Introduction

An Offshore Helideck technique is specific for Elevated Offshore

helidecks and the procedure can take the advantage of a drop down
profile from the elevated helideck.
A Clear Area Take-Off technique, using a runway, is also available.

Landing
A heliport Landing technique is available with an LDP fixed at 50 ft
(15 m) for unobstructed sites, and a Variable LDP (LDPV) up to 400 ft
(122 m) ALS, for sites with obstacles in the Balked Landing profile.
No ‘Short Field’ landing technique is necessary as the heliport landing
technique is also valid for Short Field Take-Off WAT weights.
The Ground Level or Elevated Heliport Confined Area Landing
procedure allows a steep approach to the heliport with an LDP up to
400 ft (122 m) ALS to allow clearance of obstacles in the Balked
Landing profile.
The Offshore Helideck Landing technique is specific to elevated
helideck and permits a landing on the helideck using a approach
parallel to the helipad. With this technique a drop down below the level
on the helideck can be used during the Balked Landing profile.
A Clear Area technique for operation onto a runway with a fixed LDP
is also available.

SECTION 3A - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

TAKE-OFF FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When Take-Off is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE DURING

TAKE-OFF

EXTENDED TDPE (35 FT TO 70 FT) CALCULATIONS

TDPE height, necessary to safely clear an obstacle positioned along
the Take-Off path, is calculated from known Continued Take-Off
distance, distance and height of the obstacle from Take-Off point.

TDPE FOR OBSTACLE WITHIN CTO DISTANCE

The diagram below demonstrates the process necessary to calculate
the TDPE. A Take-Off procedure with a TDP of 35 ft (11 m) ATS would
guarantee a minimum height of 15 ft (5 m) ATS. However, for obstacle
clearance this height must be increased by a value dictated by Opera-
tional Rules.
If the obstacle is within the CTO distance for the Gross Weight and
Ambient conditions then the minimum TDPE height can be calculated
where:
DCTO = Continued Take-Off Distance (ft)
DO = Distance from Take-Off point to Obstacle (ft)
HO = Height of Obstacle (ft)
HC = Required clearance height above Obstacle (ft)

ICN-39-A-155012-A-00003-00422-A-01-1

Figure 4A-1 Example of Obstacle within CTO Distance

For an obstacle within the CTO distance, then DCTO is greater than
DO, to calculate TDPE required:
HMIN = TDPE - 20 ft = HO + HC
TDPE (ft) = HC + HO + 20 (Maximum TDPE = 70 ft ATS)
If the maximum TDPE does not allow clearance of the obstacle by the
required HC, the Back-Up procedure, with TDPE up to 400 ft should be
adopted.

TDPE FOR OBSTACLE AFTER CTO DISTANCE

If the obstacle is after the CTO distance and in the PATH 1 (up to 200
ft ATS), then obstacle clearance can be achieved by a TDPE or a
reduction in Gross Weight (which will increase the PATH 1 climb gradi-
ent) or a combination of TDPE and reduction in Gross Weight. The rel-
ative effectiveness of TDPE or PATH 1 gradient change will depend on
the distance of the obstacle.
A number of iteration may be required to optimize the TDPE and
Gross Weight.

First, calculate aircraft height at obstacle distance when using the min-
imum TDP (35 ft) and the climb gradient for desired Gross Weight
(GW1)
THG = H1+ HGD1
THG must be equal or greater than (HO + HC)
If THG is less than (Ho + HC) proceed as follows:
Assume H2 = TDPE max (70 ft ATS)
Establish the CGD1 required to clear the obstacle by HC as:
CGD = (Ho + Hc - H2) x 100 / D1
Establish GW2, which allows the required CGD, from the ‘PATH 1 Gra-
dient’ charts (Figure 4A-8 to Figure 4A-25) by entering the charts with
Headwind, CGD, Hp & OAT.
Note that the above calculation is conservative because the CTO Dis-
tance has remained DCTO1 which is associated to GW1 that is higher
that GW2.
If there is no GW which allows the required CGD, or if the weight is too
low, the Back-Up procedure, with TDPE up to 400 ft, should be
adopted.
For obstacles in the PATH 2 then a similar procedure must be carried
out for the PATH 2 climb gradient which commences at 200 ft ATS.

EXAMPLES
The following are examples of an Extended TDP calculation for an
obstacle within the Continued Take-Off Distance profile.

Note
The examples below use all distances in feet, however,
the charts also include distances in meters. Care must be
taken when using the charts to ensure the correct units
are used.

EXAMPLE 1 - OBSTACLE WITHIN THE CTO DISTANCE

Determine the aircraft Maximum Take-Off Weight and TDP height
necessary to clear an obstacle within the CTO distance profile for
EAPS OFF configuration.
Data:
— Altitude = 4000 ft Hp
— Temperature = 15° C
— Obstacle Height (HO) = 13 ft ATS
— Obstacle Distance from Take-Off Point (DO) = 328 ft (100 m)
— Required Obstacle clearance height (HC) = 35 ft
— Headwind Component = 10 kts

Solution
Using the Ground and Elevated Heliport Vertical W.A.T. chart,
Figure 4A-4, on the Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move right
to intercept the 15° C line (interpolated between 10° C and 20° C
lines), drop down to the junction of the two graphs. Follow the
Headwind Component curves until intercepting the 10 kts line,
drop vertically from this point to the Gross Weight axis for a weight
of 6200 kg.
Using the Heliport Continued Take-Off Distance chart, Figure 4A-
6, on the Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move up to intercept
the 15° C line (interpolated between 10 and 20° C lines) move
right horizontally to intercept the Gross Weight line at 6200 kg,
rise vertically to Distance for a CTO Distance of 1200 ft. Continue
horizontally to intercept the Reference Line then rise vertically to
the Distance Correction axis for a correction of -20. This is then
multiplied by the Headwind Component to get the distance correc-
tion -20 x 10 = -200 ft.
Applying this correction DCTO = 1200 - 200 = 1000 ft
DCTO is greater than DO. The obstacle is confirmed inside the
CTO distance and cannot be cleared adopting the TDP = 35 ft.
Therefore the TDPE needs to be defined as follow:

Page S12-A24 Part A E.A.S.A. Approved

 AW139 - RFM - 4D Supplement 12
Document N° CAT A Operations
139G0290X002 Heliport Vertical T-O

TDPE = HC + HO + 20
TDPE = 35 + 13 + 20 = 68 ft
A TDPE = 68 ft ATS is required to clear the obstacle with a mini-
mum guaranteed clearance of 35 ft.
The TDPE may also be defined approximately using Figure 4A-7.
Calculate the sum of obstacle height HO and required clearance
HC.
HC + HO = 13 + 35 = 48 ft
Enter the table Figure 4A-7 to find the height which is closest to,
but above, the height calculated of 48 ft. From the Table in the
Min height AGL/ATS column find 50 ft and moving left to a TDPE
of 70 ft ATS.

EXAMPLE 2 - OBSTACLE POSITIONED AFTER THE CTO

DISTANCE
Determine the aircraft Maximum Take-Off Weight and TDP height
necessary to clear an obstacle in the Path 1 profile for a Clean Air
Intake.
Data
— Altitude = 4000 ft Hp
— Temperature = 15° C
— Obstacle Height (HO) = 230 ft ATS
— Obstacle Distance from Take-Off Point (DO) = 2000 ft
(610 m)

— Required Obstacle Clearance height (HC) = 35 ft

— Headwind Component = 5 kts

Solution
Step 1: Using the W.A.T., Figure 4A-3, on the Pressure Altitude
axis from 4000 ft move right to intercept the 15° C line (interpo-
lated between 10° C and 20° C lines), drop down to the junction of

the two graphs. Follow the Headwind Component curves until

intercepting the 5 kts line, drop vertically from this point to the
Gross Weight axis for a weight of 6200 kg.
Determine H1 for a TDP of 35 ft using Table, Figure 4A-7. Enter
the first column at 35 ft move right to the third column for a value
of H1 = 35 ft.
Using the Heliport CTO Distance chart, Figure 4A-6, on the Pres-
sure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move up to intercept the 15° C line
(interpolated between 10 and 20° C lines), move right horizontally
to intercept the Gross Weight line at 6200 kg, rise vertically to Dis-
tance Correction for a CTO Distance of 1200 ft. Continue horizon-
tally to intercept the Reference Line then rise vertically to the
Distance Correction axis for a correction of -20. This is then multi-
plied by the Headwind Component to get the distance correction -
20 x 5 = -100 ft
Applying this correction DCTO = 1200 - 100 = 1100 ft
Calculate the distance from the DCTO to the Obstacle
D1 = DO - DCTO1
D1 = 2000 ft - 1100 ft = 900 ft
DCTO is shorter than Do, the obstacle is confirmed outside the
CTO distance.
To calculate the Mean Height Gained in 100 ft Horizontal Distance
for a Gross Weight of 6200 kg it is necessary to interpolate
between Figure 4A-12 for 6000 kg and Figure 4A-13 for 6400 kg.
For 6000 kg chart, on the Pressure Altitude axis for 4000 ft move
horizontally to intercept the 15° C line (interpolated between 10° C
and 20° C), drop down to baseline and follow the curves. At the
intercept with the 5 kts Headwind Component horizontal line drop
vertically to obtain a value of 20 ft Mean Height Gained. Repeating
the procedure for 6400 kg chart gives 15 ft Mean Height Gained.
Interpolating for 6200, (20 ft+15 ft)/2 = 17.5 ft Mean Height Gained
in 100 ft of Horizontal Distance rounded to 17 ft.

900
= 17 x —— = 153 ft
100
Total Height at obstacle THG = H1 + HDG1 = 35 +153 = 188 ft
The difference between the HO and THG with a TDP (35 ft) is:
THG - HO = 188 - 230 = - 42 ft
The Take-Off profile produces a trajectory 42 ft below the top of
the obstacle.
To give an obstacle clearance HC = 35 ft the aircraft height at the
obstacle distance must be increased by 42 + 35 = 77 ft.
Therefore the TDPE would have to be TDP(35ft) + 77 ft = 35 + 77
= 102 ft. The maximum TDPE for this procedure is 70 ft ATS,
therefore the obstacle cannot be cleared.
Step 2: To increase the height at the obstacle distance using the
maximum TDPE (70 ft ATS) the Gross Weight may be reduced to
increase the height gained during the PATH 1 climb.
Calculate the OEI CGD required to obtain H = (HO+HC) = 265 ft at
the obstacle as follows:
(DO-DCTO)
CGD = (H -TDPE) / —————
100
(2000 - 1100)
= (265-70) / ————— = 22 ft per 100 ft of horizontal
distance
100
Figure 4A-11, applicable to GW1 = 5600 kg, Hp = 4000 ft,
OAT = 15° C and Headwind Component = 5 kts, gives a CGD1 =
25 ft for every 100 ft horizontal distance.
Figure 4A-12, applicable to GW2 = 6000 kg gives, for the same
atmospheric conditions CGD2 = 20 ft for every 100 ft horizontal
distance.
The weight, GW, which gives CGD = 22 ft may be obtained by the
relationship:

( CGD1-CGD2)
400
= ——— x 3 + 5600 = 5840 kg

Therefore for a reduced Gross Weight of 5840 kg and TDPE of
70 ft the obstacle is cleared with required margin. However, the
height at the obstacle must also be checked.
Repeating the procedure with new Gross Weight GW1of 5840 kg,
ie:
Confirmation of the Weight Limitation is not required as the Gross
Weight is less than the maximum for the ambient conditions.
Using the Table, Figure 4A-7, the H2 height for a TDPE of 70 ft
gives a height of 70 ft.
Using the Heliport CTO Distance chart, Figure 4A-6, on the Pres-
sure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move up to intercept the 15° C line
(interpolated between 10 and 20° C lines) move right horizontally
to intercept the Gross Weight line at 5840 kg, rise vertically to Dis-
tance axis for a CTO Distance of 1050 ft. Continue horizontally to
intercept the Reference Line then rise vertically to the Distance
Correction axis for a correction of -19.5, rounded to -20. This is
multiplied by the Headwind Component -20 x 5 = -100 ft.
Applying this correction DCTO2 = 1050 - 100 = 950 ft
D2 = DO - DCTO2
= 2000 ft - 950 ft = 1050 ft.
The Mean Height Gained in 100 ft Horizontal Distance required to
clear the obstacle corresponding to GW =5840 was 22 ft.
Calculating:
D2
HDG1 = Height gained in 100 ft x ——
100
1050
= 22 x —— = 231 ft

139G0290X002 Heliport Vertical T-O

Total Height at obstacle THG = H1 + HDG1

= 70 +231 = 301 ft
The difference between the obstacle height and aircraft height with
a TDPE(70) and Gross Weight of 5840 kg is 301 - 230 = 71 ft. The
aircraft, in OEI, will be 71 ft above the top of the obstacle.
The margin above the obstacle is in excess of the minimum
required for this example (35 ft clearance). Further iterations can
be made, if required, to optimize the maximum Gross Weight.

Note
In HIGE the indicated altitude, on the altimeters, will be
40 ft to 60 ft (12 m to 18 m) below the setting value. The
indicated altitude automatically corrects in the climb.

8. Flight controls — Check correct functioning.

9. MFD PWR PLANT page — Check all parameters within

normal operating limits.

10. Warnings and Cautions — Confirm none displayed.

11. PI/NR — Check PI’s matched, NR 102%.

Note PI value.

12. Collective/Cyclic Control — Increase PI by 23% above

hover value (if 23% is not avail-
able, without exceeding Take
Off PI, increase to 110%), in 2
seconds, and initiate a vertical
climb to TDP while adjusting the
pitch attitude to maintain posi-
tion over the Take Off point.

Note
OAT conditions close to 50° C may produce ITT limited
PI, in HIGE, above 87% PI. Under these conditions using
110% PI (even though the change in PI is less than 23%)
will produce the required power to guarantee the CAT A
performance.

13. Take off Decision Point (TDP) — At required TDP height rotate
nose down to -10° attitude in 1
second. Maintain this attitude
for 1 second then recover pitch
attitude to 0° to climb and
accelerate to VTOSS (40 KIAS).
Maintain collective position.

14. Acceleration/Climb — When VTOSS (40 KIAS) is

achieved, adjust pitch attitude to
approximately 5° nose up.
Maintaining collective position,
continue climb and accelera-
tion, until Vy.

15. Climb — At Vy adjust attitude to stabilize

speed, continue climb.

16. Landing gear — UP (when reaching Vy but not

below 200 ft (60 m) AGL).

SECTION 3B - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected.

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

TAKE-OFF FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When Take-Off is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

5. Power checks — Carry out as required in

accordance with ENGINE
POWER CHECKS procedure
in Part K Common
Performance.

6. Pilot Altimeter — Set 0 ft, or nearest 1000 ft

(300 m) setting to T-O altitude,
with collective at MPOG.

7. Hover — Establish a 5 ft (1.5 m) ATS

hover.

Note
In HIGE the indicated altitude, on the altimeters, will be
40 ft to 60 ft (12 m to 18 m) below the setting value. The
indicated altitude automatically corrects in the climb.

8. Flight controls — Check correct functioning.

9. MFD PWR PLANT page — Check all parameters within

normal operating limits.

12. Collective/Cyclic Control — Increase PI by 23% above

hover value (if 23% is not avail-
able, without exceeding Take
Off PI, increase to 110%) in 2
seconds and initiate a rear-
wards climb to TDP while main-
taining view of heliport/helideck.

Note
OAT conditions close to 50° C may produce ITT limited
PI, in HIGE, above 87% PI. Under these conditions using
110% PI (even though the change in PI is less than 23%)
will produce the required power to guarantee the CAT A
performance.

13. Take-Off Decision Point (TDP) — At required TDP height rotate

nose down to -10° attitude in 1
second. Maintain this attitude
for 1 second then recover pitch
attitude to 0° to climb and
accelerate to VTOSS (40 KIAS).
Maintain collective position.

14. Acceleration/Climb — When VTOSS (40 KIAS) is

achieved, adjust pitch attitude to
approximately 5° nose up.
Maintaining collective position,
continue climb and accelerate
to Vy.

15. Climb — At Vy adjust attitude to stabilize

speed. Continue climb.

16. Landing gear — UP (when reaching Vy but not

below 200 ft (60 m) ATS).

17. NR/NF — Select 100% at Vy.

18. After Take-Off checks — Complete.

19. Power — Adjust collective to continue

climb at Vy, utilizing up to Take-
Off power, as required, to
1000 ft (300 m) ATS.

20. At 1000 ft (300 m) ATS — Adjust collective and cyclic to

SECTION 3C - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the instruc-
tions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight Manual.

TAKE-OFF FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When Take-Off is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

For Crosswind and Headwind Component computation refer to Wind
Component Chart (Figure 4K-4).

W.A.T. CHARTS
The Ground Level, Elevated Heliport/Helideck Back Up Take-Off
Procedure Weight Limitation charts are shown in Figure 4C-3 to
Figure 4C-5.

HELIPORT BACK UP PROCEDURE - TYPICAL HEIGHTS AND

DISTANCES
The relevant heights and distances, as a function of TDP height, are
presented in Figure 4C-7.

CONTINUED TAKE-OFF DISTANCE OEI

The Continued Take Off Distance is defined as the difference between
the T-O distance from TDP OEI (Figure 4C-6 valid for Clean Intake,
EAPS ON/OFF and IBF Installed) and the Back Up distance
(Figure 4C-7).
The Distance Correction incorporated into the “Heliport Back Up T-O
Distance from TDP OEI” chart, presented in this supplement, for
Headwind Component has already been factored by 50%.

TAKE-OFF FLIGHT PATH 1

Mean Height Gained in 100 ft (30 m) Horizontal Distance

The mean height gained in 100 ft (30 m) of horizontal distance trav-
elled during an OEI climb at VTOSS and 2.5 min power OEI is shown in
Figure 4A-8 to Figure 4A-31 for various altitudes, temperatures,
weights, air intake configuration and Headwind Component.
The charts apply from the end of the CTO distance to a height of 200 ft
(60 m) or TDPE height +200 ft (60 m) ATS.

The mean height gained in 100 ft (30 m) of horizontal distance travelled
during an OEI climb at VY and MCP OEI is shown in Figure 4K-5 to
Figure 4K-28 for various altitudes, temperatures, weights, air intake
configuration and Headwind Component.
These charts apply from 200 ft (60 m) or TDPE height +200 ft (60 m)
ATS to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS.

CLIMB PERFORMANCE

Single Engine Rate Of Climb at VY

The ROC at VY and MCP OEI, is unchanged from the basic Rotorcraft
Flight Manual or from the appropriate Supplement if EAPS or IBF
installed.

TDPE FOR OBSTACLE CLEARANCE

The Figure 4C-1 and Figure 4C-2 demonstrate the process necessary
to calculate the TDPE for an obstacle in the Take Off Profile and to
ensure that obstacles in the Back Up profile do not endanger the air-
craft if a RTO is required.

DCTO = Continued Take-Off Distance (ft)

DO = Distance from Take-Off position to Obstacle (ft)

HBO = Height of Obstacle in Back Up Profile (ft)

HO = Height of Obstacle (ft)

HC = Required clearance height above Obstacle (ft)

TDPMIN = 85 ft ATS

A Back-Up Take-Off procedure with the TDPMIN of 85 ft ATS would
guarantee a minimum height of 15 ft ATS.
The TDPE required to clear an obstacle positioned inside the CTO dis-
tance by the required HC is:
TDPE (ft) = HO + HC + 70 (Maximum TDPE = 400 ft ATS).

Figure 4C-2 Obstacle in the Back Up Profile

If there are obstacles under the Take-Off Back-Up profile then the
obstacle height and position, with respect to the Heliport/Helideck,
must be within the Obstacle Zone as defined by the table in
Figure 4C-8 which gives a minimum obstacle clearance height of 15 ft.
If Operating Rules define specific obstacle clearance this must be
taken into consideration when defining the TDPE.

SECTION 2D - NORMAL PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The Confined Area Take Off procedure comprises on an offset rear-
ward climb maintaining an angle of 40° to 45° from the aircraft to the
centre of the ground level or elevated heliport. This angle is guaran-
teed provided the heliport center point in maintained in the lower chin
window. This aspect is maintained until the TDP is achieved. The TDP
can be varied between a minimum of 100 ft (30 m) ATS to a maximum
of 400 ft (122 m) ATS depending on the obstacles in the take off flight
path. See Figure 2D-3 to Figure 2D-9 for pilot view of helipad at typical
Take Off heights and Figure 2D-10 to Figure 2D-16 for typical view
when take off is performed from the left hand seat.
Two different techniques are available for the PATH 1 and PATH 2
climb after reaching VTOSS. The standard technique performs the
PATH 1 climb maintaining the VTOSS (40 KIAS) speed then at 200 ft
accelerating to Vy (80 KIAS) for the PATH 2 climb up to 1000 ft
(300 m) ATS.
The alternative technique continues the acceleration, after reaching
VTOSS (40 KIAS), straight up to 60 KIAS and the PATH 1 and PATH 2
segment climbs are carried out at 60 KIAS. This second technique has
been introduced as it has the following advantages:
• The technique is simpler as it maintains 60 KIAS throught the climb
• The climb condition is easier to maintain
• The IFR minimum airspeed Vmini (50 KIAS) is achieved earlier
• The end of the PATH 2 climb to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS is achieved
before expiry of the OEI 2.5m limit and in a shorter time, for engine
failure cases.

SECTION 3D - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

TAKE OFF FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When Take-Off is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand
seat pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure proce-
dures.

1. Initial action — Initially maintain collective posi-

tion while applying 2-3 degrees
nose down attitude change to
commence movement to helipad.

Note
At weight below the W.A.T. limit and for Headwind conditions it
may be necessary to lower collective to initiate descent.

2. Descent — As aircraft descends, adjust col-

lective to droop NR to 100 %
±1 %NR. Maintain the helipad
position in chin window.
• When left hand pilot flying, right
hand pilot call out rotor speed.

A correctly flown technique will result in a groundspeed of 6 kts
to 8 kts during the stabilized descent. Lower groundspeed can
result in high rate of descent on landing.

3. Touchdown — At approximately 15 ft (5 m) ATS

increase collective to cushion
landing as touchdown becomes
imminent. Maximum nose up atti-
tude at touchdown, 15 degrees.
Maximum allowed GS at touch-
down 5 kts (9 km/hr).

These charts apply from the CTO distance to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS.

TDP CALCULATIONS FOR OBSTACLE CLEARANCE

The Figure 4D-1 and Figure 4D-2 demonstrate the process necessary
to calculate the TDP for an obstacle in the Take Off Profile and to
ensure that obstacles in the Rearward Climb profile do not endanger
the aircraft if a CTO or RTO is required.

DCTO = Continued Take-Off Distance (ft)

DO = Distance from Take-Off position to Obstacle (ft)

HBO = Height of Obstacle in Rearward Climb Profile (ft)

HO = Height of Obstacle (ft)

HC = Required clearance height above Obstacle (ft)

TDPMIN = 100 ft ATS

A Take-Off procedure with the TDP of 100 ft ATS (minimum TDP
height permitted) would guarantee a minimum height of 15 ft ATS dur-
ing a CTO after an engine failure at TDP.

TDP for obstacle inside the CTO distance

The TDP required to clear an obstacle positioned inside the CTO dis-
tance by the required HC is:
TDP (ft) = HO + HC + 85 (Maximum TDP = 400 ft ATS).
For various TDP heights Figure 4D-7 lists the following typical aircraft
distances and heights:
• Minimum height during a Continued Take Off
• Height at the end of the CTO profile
• The aircraft rearward movement from Take Off point
• The lateral displacement from the Take Off point. (outside rotor
tip point).

TDP FOR OBSTACLE UNDER REARWARD CLIMB PROFILE

If there are obstacles under the Rearward Climb profile then the obsta-
cle height and position, with respect to the Heliport, must be within the
Obstacle Zone as defined by the table in Figure 4D-8 which includes a
minimum obstacle clearance height of 15 ft.

Take-Off Procedure
GENERAL
The technique considers the Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying
(PNF) coordinate their activities so that the PNF will monitor the height
and call out Take Off Decision Point (TDP), Rotation Point (RP) and,
in the case of engine failure, the rotor speed (NR) allowing the PF to
concentrate on flying the manoeuvres.
The Offshore Elevated Helideck Take Off is a technique that uses the
concept of a TDP height 20 ft (6 m) above the helideck and RP at
30 ft (10 m). An engine failure before TDP means the vertical climb
must be stopped and the aircraft rejected back to the helideck (RTO).
An engine failure at or after the TDP means the pilot must continue the
vertical climb to the RP and proceed for a Continued Take Off (CTO)
on one engine (OEI). This Take-Off procedure also assures a large
deck edge clearance (always exceeding 15 ft (5 m)) with deck size up
to 100 m (330 ft), even when the manoeuvre requires a drop down
Below the Take Off Surface (BTS). It is recommended that Take-Off is
commenced from the touchdown Positioning Markings (TD/PM) which
will also give better visual references.
This technique also assures that, in the case on an engine failure,
there is no exposure time to a ditching when operating at the condi-
tions given in the Weight, Altitude, Temperature (WAT) limitations
below. If the Take-Off Weight would require a drop down, during a sin-
gle engine failure, it is assumed that the height of the Elevated
Helideck is greater than the Drop Down plus a height clearance mar-
gin as required by the Competent Authorities, and that there are no
obstacles beyond and below the deck edge.

SECTION 2E - NORMAL PROCEDURES

Two different techniques are available for the PATH 1 and PATH 2
climb after reaching VTOSS. The standard technique performs the
PATH 1 climb maintaining the VTOSS (40 KIAS) speed then at 200 ft
accelerating to Vy (80 KIAS) for the PATH 2 climb up to 1000 ft
(300 m) ATS.
The alternative technique continues the acceleration, after reaching
VTOSS (40 KIAS), straight up to 60 KIAS and the PATH 1 and PATH 2
segment climbs are carried out at 60 KIAS. This second technique has
been introduced as it has the following advantages:
• The technique is simpler as it maintains 60 KIAS throught the climb
• The climb condition is easier to maintain
• The IFR minimum airspeed Vmini (50 KIAS) is achieved earlier
• The end of the PATH 2 climb to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS is achieved
before expiry of the OEI 2.5m limit and in a shorter time, for engine
failure cases.

SECTION 3E - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For the Take-Off procedure the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

TAKE OFF PROCEDURES

For Take-Off the PNF should make TDP, Rotate calls and monitor
engine and rotor parameters.

SECTION 4E - PERFORMANCE DATA

WIND EFFECT
For Crosswind and Headwind Component computation refer to Wind
Component Chart (Figure 4K-4).

W.A.T. CHARTS

— The Offshore helideck Procedure Weight Limitations charts are

shown in Figure 4E-1 to Figure 4E-3A for weights up to 6400 kg.
For weight up to 6800 kg see Supplement 50.

— The Gross Weight Benefit, incorporated into the WAT charts for
Headwind Component, has already been factored by 50%. No fur-
ther weight correction is required.

Note
The Gross Weight Benefit for Headwind Component may
only be used when there is an air gap under the helideck
of at least 3 m.

CONTINUED TAKE OFF DISTANCE OEI

The Continued Take Off distance is shown in Figure 4E-4 to Figure
4E-6A. This represents the horizontal distance from the start of the
Take-Off to a point at VTOSS and positive rate of climb.
The Distance Correction incorporated into the “Offshore Helideck CTO
Distance OEI” chart for Headwind Component has already been fac-
tored by 50%.

CONTINUED TAKE-OFF DROP DOWN

Maximum drop down below Take Off Surface (BTS) during
Continued Take Off (valid for Clean Intake,
EAPS ON/OFF, IBF Installed) ............................................ Figure 4E-7
The Drop Down Correction incorporated into the “Offshore Helideck
Procedure Drop Down BTS for CTO OEI” chart for Headwind Compo-
nent has already been factored by 50%.

Note
In HIGE the indicated altitude, on the altimeters, will be
40 ft to 60 ft (12 m to 18 m) below the setting value. The
indicated altitude automatically corrects in the climb.

8. Flight controls — Check correct functioning.

9. MFD PWR PLANT page — Check all parameters within

normal operating limits.

10. Warnings and Cautions — Confirm none displayed.

11. PI — Check PI’s matched, NR 102%.

Note PI value.

12. Collective/Cyclic Control — Apply cyclic to commence a

nose down attitude change to
-5° and maintain. At approxi-
mately half way through the
rotation apply collective to
increase PI by 18% above
hover value (if 18% is not avail-
able, without exceeding Take
Off PI, increase to 110%).

Note
OAT conditions close to 50° C may produce ITT limited
PI, in HIGE, above 92% PI. Under these conditions using
110% PI (even though the change in PI is less than 18%)
will produce the required power to guarantee the CAT A
performance.

13. Take-Off Decision Point (TDP) — At 30 ft (9 m) AGL (TDP) con-

tinue acceleration. Verify VTOSS
(50 KIAS) already achieved.

14. Acceleration/Climb — Adjust pitch attitude to approxi-

mately 5° nose up and continue
climb up to 200 ft (60 m) AGL.

15. Landing gear — UP (when reaching Vy but not

before 200 ft (60 m) AGL).

16. NR/NF — Select 100% at Vy.

17. Power — Adjust collective to continue

climb at Vy, utilizing up to Take-
Off power as required, to

SECTION 3F - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Take-Off path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and to achieve a safe flight path.
For all Take-Off procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to TDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the TDP dictates that
the Take-Off be rejected

2. Engine failure at or after TDP — Recognition of the failure at or

after the TDP dictates that the
Take-Off be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

TAKE OFF FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When Take-Off is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand
seat pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure proce-
dures.

SECTION 3G - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the LDP permits either a
continuation of the approach
and an OEI Landing or a Balked
Landing to be carried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at

or after the LDP dictates that
the Landing be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

LANDING FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When landing is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand seat
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

HELIPORT/HELIDECK VARIABLE LDPV (50 ft TO 400 ft)

CALCULATIONS
Determination of the LDPV height necessary to safely clear an obsta-
cle in the Balked Landing profile is calculated from a knowledge of the
height of the obstacle.
Note
All heights are given Above Landing Surface (ALS).

LDPV FOR OBSTACLE IN BALKED LANDING PROFILE

The diagram below demonstrates the process necessary to calculate
the LDPV. A normal landing procedure with a LDP of 50 ft ALS would
guarantee a minimum height of 15 ft ALS for a Balked Landing. How-
ever, for obstacle clearance, this must be increased by a required
clearance.
If the obstacle is within the Balked Landing profile then the minimum
LDPV height can be calculated where:
HO = Height of Obstacle (ft)
HC = Required clearance height above Obstacle (ft)

SECTION 2H - NORMAL PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The Confined Area Landing procedure comprises on an offset descent
maintaining an angle of 40° to 45° from the aircraft to the centre of the
heliport. This angle is guaranteed provided the heliport center point in
maintained in the lower chin window. This aspect is maintained from
100 ft (30 m) above the LDP, which can vary between a maximum of
400 ft (122 m) ALS to a minimum of 100 ft (30 m) ALS depending on the
obstacles in the Landing and Balked landing flight path.
See Figure 2H-3 and Figure 2H-4 for typical pilot views during landing
and Figure 2H-5 and Figure 2H-6 for typical view when flying from the
left hand seat.
Two different techniques are available for the PATH 1 and PATH 2
climb after reaching VBLSS. The standard technique performs the
PATH 1 climb maintaining the VBLSS (40 KIAS) speed then at 200 ft
accelerating to Vy (80 KIAS) for the PATH 2 climb up to 1000 ft
(300 m) ATS.
The alternative technique continues the acceleration, after reaching
VBLSS (40 KIAS), straight up to 60 KIAS and the PATH 1 and PATH 2
segment climbs are carried out at 60 KIAS. This second technique has
been introduced as it has the following advantages:
• The technique is simpler as it maintains 60 KIAS throught the climb
• The climb condition is easier to maintain
• The IFR minimum airspeed Vmini (50 KIAS) is achieved earlier
• The end of the PATH 2 climb to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS is achieved
before expiry of the OEI 2.5m limit and in a shorter time, for engine
failure cases.

LANDING DECISION POINT (LDP)

LDP

Height....................................................... Max 400 ft to Min 100 ft ALS

(Max 122 m to Min 30 m ALS)

Groundspeed:

• for LDP between 400 ft and 250 ft

(122 m and 76 m) ..........................................................15 to 20 kts
• for LDP below 250 ft to 100 ft
(76 m to 30 m) .............................................Defined by height only

Rate of Descent ................................................400 ft/min to 500 ft/min

Note
When establishing a descent below LDP a correctly flown
technique will result in a groundspeed of 6 kts to 8 kts
during the stabilized descent. Low groundspeed can
result in high rate of descent on landing.

Note
The variable LDP is given to allow avoidance of obsta-
cles, which are along the Landing and Balked Landing
profile.

Note
Radio altimeter heights are shown in the flight path pro-
files.
Refer to Barometric altimeter when obstacles are present
in the Landing flight path.

LANDING FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When landing is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand pilot
should monitor engine and rotor parameters.

SECTION 3H - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the LDP permits either a
continuation of the approach
and an OEI Landing or a Balked
Landing to be carried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at

or after the LDP dictates that
the Landing be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

LANDING FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When landing is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand seat
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE DURING LANDING PRIOR TO LDP

(BALKED LANDING)

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Apply collective to control NR

droop to a minimum of 90%
and adjust pitch attitude to 0° to
initiate an acceleration to
VBLSS (40 KIAS).
• When left hand pilot flying,
right hand pilot call out rotor
speed.

2. Climb — When the aircraft achieves

VBLSS (40 KIAS) and a positive
rate of climb, select 5° nose up
attitude and progressively
lower collective to recover NR
to 102%. Continue climb to
200 ft (60 m) or LDP height +
100 ft (30 m) ALS with 2.5 min
power.

3. At 200 ft (60 m) ALS — Continue to accelerate aircraft

(or LDP height + 100 ft (30 m) to Vy using 2.5 min power
rating. After achieving Vy,
continue to 1000 ft AGL
reducing power to OEI MCP
rating (140% PI) when
convenient before expiry of the
“2.5 m” rating.

4. Landing gear — UP (when reaching Vy).

5. Rotor speed — Select 100% at Vy.

LDP DETERMINATION
The determination of the LDP height must consider any obstacles in
the Balked Landing profile (Figure 4H-1) or the Landing Approach pro-
file (Figure 4H-2). Where obstacles are present in both of these pro-
files the higher of the LDP values must be taken.

LDP FOR OBSTACLE IN BALKED LANDING PROFILE

The diagram below demonstrates the process necessary to calculate
the LDP. A normal landing procedure with a LDP of 100 ft ALS would
guarantee a minimum height of 15 ft ALS for a Balked Landing. How-
ever, for obstacle clearance, this must be increased by the required
clearance.
If the obstacle is within the Balked Landing profile then the minimum
LDP height can be calculated where:
HO = Height of Obstacle (ft)
HC = Required clearance height above Obstacle (ft)

Figure 4H-2 Obstacle in Approach Profile

The diagram above demonstrates the Landing Approach profile with
obstacles under the aircrafts profile from the LDP to the landing point.
Obstacle height and position, with respect to the Heliport, must be
within the Obstacle Zone as defined by the table in Figure 4D-8, which
includes a minimum obstacle clearance height of 15 ft (5 m). The LDP
must be chosen, taking into account the Obstacle Zone. If Operating
Rules define specific obstacle clearance height more than 15 ft (5 m)
then this must also be taken into consideration when defining the LDP.

Part I
Offshore Helideck Landing Procedures
GENERAL
Two landing techniques are available for the Offshore Helideck Land-
ing:

a) The Level Approach Helideck Landing technique comprises

an initial descent then a level approach to the LDP 40 ft (12 m)
above and to the left (right) of the Landing Surface at 15 kts. At
the LDP the aircraft carries out a 45° lateral translation and
descent to the touchdown point (TD/PM). An engine failure at
any time before LDP allows a Balked Landing to be carried out
which may require a Drop Down below the level of the LDP
(BLDP) and helideck during the manoeuvre. As the aircraft in
the approach to LDP is always to the left (right) of the helideck
then a clear trajectory is available for the Balked Landing tra-
jectory.

b) The Descending Approach Helideck Landing technique

comprises of a normal approach to an LDP to the side of the
helideck starting at a point to achieve LDP at 50 ft above the
landing surface with15 kts groundspeed and a ROD of 200 ft/
min. An engine failure at any time before LDP allows a Balked
Landing to be carried out which may require a Drop Down
below the level of the LDP (BLDP) and helideck during the
manoeuvre. As the the approach to LDP is always to the side
of the helideck a clear trajectory is available for the Balked
Landing.

SECTION 2I - NORMAL PROCEDURES

Two different techniques are available for the PATH 1 and PATH 2
climb after reaching VBLSS. The standard technique performs the
PATH 1 climb maintaining the VBLSS (40 KIAS) speed then at 200 ft
accelerating to Vy (80 KIAS) for the PATH 2 climb up to 1000 ft
(300 m) ATS.
The alternative technique continues the acceleration, after reaching
VBLSS (40 KIAS), straight up to 60 KIAS and the PATH 1 and PATH 2
segment climbs are carried out at 60 KIAS. This second technique has
been introduced as it has the following advantages:
• The technique is simpler as it maintains 60 KIAS throught the climb
• The climb condition is easier to maintain
• The IFR minimum airspeed Vmini (50 KIAS) is achieved earlier
• The end of the PATH 2 climb to 1000 ft (300 m) ATS is achieved
before expiry of the OEI 2.5m limit and in a shorter time, for engine
failure cases.

9. Initial point — Establish an approach to pass

through 200 ft (60 m) ALS at
80 KIAS and a rate of descent
of no more than 500 fpm.

10. Approach — Progressively reduce speed

and height to achieve LDP at
15 kts GS and 40 ft (12 m) ALS
and approach into wind with the
helideck to the side of the PF
(See Figure 2I-2). Maintain the
rotor tip path plane outboard,
but close to the edge of the
helideck and the aircraft center
line paralell to the edge of the
helideck.

Note
If the approach is carried out with helideck to the left of
the aircraft PF must be in left hand seat.

11. LDP — Maintain 15 kts groundspeed

and 40 ft (12 m) ALS level, the
LDP is achieved when the air-
craft is at an angle of approxi-
mately 45° from the center of
the landing point (See to Figure
2I-3).

12. Landing — From the 45° position fly the

aircraft forwards, sideways and
downwards towards the landing
point, decreasing collective
slightly. When descending
through 30 ft (9 m) ALS reduce
nose up attitude to maximum
10° (See Figure 2I-4). Continue
to a hover over the helideck.

13. Touchdown — When over the landing position

descend vertically and use col-
lective to cushion touchdown
and touch down with 30° to 45°
heading offset, if wind speed is
less than 10 kts (5 m/s). If wind
speed is greater than 10 kts
(5 m/s) maintain heading with
respect to the heading at LDP.
Do not exceed 20 kts (10 m/s)
crosswind. Maximum allowed
GS at touchdown 5 kts (9 km/hr).

14. PARK BRAKE — As required.

15. LDG LT & LDG LT2 switches — OFF, if used.

CAUTION

If this procedure is modified, it may not be possible, if an

engine fails in the landing path, to carry out a safe OEI
landing or achieve the scheduled OEI performance.

SECTION 3I - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Level Approach Landing

Recognition of engine failure
prior to the LDP dictates a
Balked Landing be carried out
Descending Approach
Landing
Recognition of engine failure
prior to the LDP permits either a
continuation of the approach
and an OEI Landing or a Balked
Landing to be carried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at

or after the LDP dictates that
the Landing be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE DURING LANDING PRIOR TO LDP

(BALKED LANDING)

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Simultaneously adjust pitch atti-

tude, nose down to 0° to initiate
an acceleration to VBLSS
(40 KIAS) and apply collective
to control NR droop, to a mini-
mum of 90%.
• PNF calls out rotor speed.

2. Climb — When the aircraft achieves

VBLSS (40 KIAS) select 5° nose
up attitude and lower collective
to recover NR to 102%. Con-
tinue climb to 200 ft (60 m) ATS
with 2.5 min power.

3. At 200 ft (60 m) ALS — Continue climb and accelerate

to Vy using 2.5 min power
rating. After achieving Vy,
continue to 1000 ft ALS, or as
required, reducing power to
OEI MCP rating (140% PI)
when convenient before expiry
of the “2.5 m” rating.

4. Landing gear — UP (when reaching Vy).

5. Rotor speed — Select 100% at Vy.

6. At 1000 ft (300 m) ALS — On affected engine, carry out

vation should be known).
6. HEATER (if used) — Confirm SOV 1 & 2 switches
selected to NORMAL.
Select HTR switch to OFF, note
ITT decrease and confirm
HEATER ON advisory extin-
guished.

CAUTION

If this procedure is modified, it may not be possible, if an

engine fails in the landing path, to carry out a safe OEI
landing or achieve the scheduled OEI performance.

SECTION 3J - EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION

PROCEDURES

GENERAL
The procedures detailed herein only consider the failure of one engine
in the Landing path and assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft
control and achieve a safe flight path.
For all Landing procedures the following shall be observed:

1. Engine failure prior to LDP — Recognition of engine failure

prior to the LDP permits either a
continuation of the approach
and an OEI Landing or a Balked
Landing to be carried out

2. Engine failure at or after LDP — Recognition of engine failure at

or after the LDP dictates that
the Landing be continued.
Procedures dealing with subsequent Failure/Malfunctions, other than
engine failure, must be initiated only after the aircraft control and a
safe flight/ground condition have been obtained. The procedures for
the emergency/malfunction can be followed according to the appropri-
ate instructions detailed in Section 3 of the basic Rotorcraft Flight
Manual.

LANDING FROM LEFT HAND SEAT

When landing is carried out from the left hand seat the right hand seat
pilot should call out rotor speed during the engine failure procedures.

SECTION 4J - PERFORMANCE DATA

WIND EFFECT
For Crosswind and Headwind components computation refer to Wind
Component Chart (Figure 4K-4).

W.A.T. CHARTS
Clear Area WAT charts are shown in Figure 4F-1 to Figure 4F-3A.

LANDING DISTANCE OEI

The landing distance OEI is calculated from the Clear Area Landing
Distance for a distance from LDP to touchdown, Figure 4J-2/1, and the
braking distance from touchdown to stop, Figure 4J-2/2.
The Landing Distance to touchdown and the Braking Distance are
added to give the total Landing Distance.

Example:
The Total Landing Distance distance required for the following
weight and ambient conditions:
— Clean Aircraft
— Aircraft Weight = 6000 kg
— Pressure Altitude = 6000 ft
— OAT = +12° C

Solution:
Using chart Figure 4F-1 note that the aircraft weight and ambient
conditions and inside the Clear Area W.A.T. curve so landing is
permitted. Using chart Figure 4J-2/1, starting at the Pressure
Altitude axis for 6000 ft move up to intersect the 12° C line (inter-
polated between 10° C and 20° C lines) then move right to inter-
sect the 6000 kg line. From the intersect, drop down to the
Distance axis and read 400 m.

139G0290X002 Clear Area Landing Procedures

Using chart Figure 4J-2/2 starting at the OAT axis for 12° C move
vertically to intercept the Hp= 6000 ft curve. From the intercept
move horizontally to the Gross Weight curve at 6000 kg. At this
intercept drop down vertically to Braking Distance axis and read
35 m.

The Landing Distance is then calculated from:

Landing Distance to Touchdown + Braking Distance

= 400 + 35 = 435 m.

BALKED LANDING DISTANCE

The horizontal distance from the LDP to the point at which a minimum
of 35 ft (10 m) is attained at VBLSS and a positive OEI rate of climb is
shown in Figure 4J-1 and is valid for Clean Air Intake, EAPS ON &
OFF and IBF Installed.

Mean Height Gained in 100 ft (30 m) Horizontal Distance

The mean height gained in 100 ft (30 m) of horizontal distance trav-
elled during an OEI climb at VBLSS = VTOSS (50 KIAS) and 2.5 min
power is shown in Figure 4F-10 to Figure 4F-33 for various altitudes,
temperatures, weights, air intake configuration and Headwind Compo-
nent.
The charts apply from the end of the Balked Landing distance to a
height of 200 ft (60 m) AGL.

SECTION 4K - PERFORMANCE DATA

This section includes performance data that is common for all CAT A
procedures.

ENGINE POWER CHECKS

The purpose of the Engine Power Assurance Check is to provide a
means of monitoring engine health. A HOVER power assurance
check procedure for the CAT A rotor speed of 102% is provided. The
procedure has to be used to check if engine power available is within
the limits established for legitimate use of the CAT A Rotorcraft Flight
Manual Performance. See Figure 4K-2 and Figure 4K-3.

WIND EFFECT
For crosswind and headwind components computation refer to Wind
Component Chart (Figure 4K-4).

Example
Calculate Headwind and Crosswind component for a reported
wind of 25 kts from 35° with respect to the helicopter heading.

Solution
Enter Wind Component Chart Figure 4K-4 at 25 kt on the
Reported Wind Speed axis, proceed right following the curved
lines to wind relative angle of 35°. At the intercept proceed hori-
zontally right to Headwind Component axis and read 20 kts, from
the intercept proceed vertically to Crosswind Component axis and
read 14 kts.

TAKE-OFF FLIGHT PATH 2

Mean Height Gained in 100 ft (30 m) Horizontal Distance
The mean height gained in 100 ft (30 m) of horizontal distance travelled
during an OEI climb at VY after Take-Off is shown in Figure 4K-5 to
Figure 4K-28 for various altitudes, temperatures, weights, EAPS/IBF
configurations and Headwind Components.

INFLUENCE OF TURNS DURING PATH 2 CLIMB

The performance data Figure 4K-5 to Figure 4K-28 apply to climbs
without any significant bank angle. The following table shows the dis-
tance travelled for a 10 degree of heading change and reduction in
height gain over a distance of 100 ft (30 m) in the Take-Off flight PATH
2 gradient. (valid for all combinations of gross weight, altitude, OAT
and EAPS/IBF configurations).

Example
Calculate the following:
• Climb Gradient for straight climb
• Climb Gradient for Bank turn climb of 15° for a total heading
change of 35° and the distance travelled from the comence-
ment of the turning point.

Data

— Take Off weight = 5600 kg

— Altitude = 4000 ft Hp

— Temperature = 15° C

— Headwind Component = 10 kts

— Configuration = Clean Air Intake

Solution

• Straight Climb - Using the Take Off Flight PATH 2 Gradient

Maximum Continuous Power OEI chart, Figure 4K-8, on the
Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move right to intercept the
15° C line (interpolated between 10° C and 20°C ). drop down
to the junction of the two graphs. Follow the Headwind Com-
ponent curves until intercepting the 10 kts line, drop vertically
from this point to Mean Height Gained in 100 ft of 13 ft.

• Bank Turn in Climb - Using the Take Off Flight PATH 2 Gradi-
ent Maximum Continuous Power OEI chart, Figure 4K-8, on
the Pressure Altitude axis from 4000 ft move right to intercept
the 15° C line (interpolated between 10° C and 20° C). drop
down to the junction of the two graphs. Drop vertically from
this point to Mean Height Gained in 100 ft of 11.5 ft. (Head-
wind Component benefit cannot be applied for turns during
PATH 2 climb).

Part L
Category A Training Procedures
GENERAL
The Category A Training Procedures are supplied to allow Category A
Emergency Procedures to be carried out at low Take-Off gross weight
and at reduced ‘OEI power’ in order to conserve engine and transmis-
sion life.
To achieve this an engine training mode is incorporated in the engine
EEC which simulates an engine failure and the corresponding single
engine response and rotor speed characteristics to an engine failure.

Note
To allow the trainee pilot to gain confidence, it is sug-
gested that before the maximum Training Weight is flown,
a weight margin is flown during the CAT A technique
familiarization/build-up flights (eg. a weight reduction of,
say, 200 kg).
A weight margin on the maximum Training Weight is also
useful to assess the helicopter performance at lower than
maximum CAT A weight.
The Training Mode logic uses twin engine power to simulate an initial
‘single engine’ transient to ‘maximum torque’ and rotor droop. Then
both engines are used but they are limited to a maximum total PI of
140%. When the Training Mode is activated, the PI and NF displays,
on the PFD, are artificially configured to show OEI condition for the
engine selected to OEI TNG.
On the Power Plant page of the MFD, the actual engine parameters
are displayed while on the NR/NF indicator the coloured ranges are
modified, from AEO to OEI, to allow NR/NF droop to 90% as required
by the CAT A procedure. When in Training Mode and within the OEI
TNG 2.5 min threshold the 2.5 m legend is illuminated along side the
PI of the active engine, in amber while within the 2.5 min, flashing
inverse red when within 10 sec from expiry and steady red inverse
when the limit has been exceeded. With this display the PFD presents
the simulated OEI condition while the MFD, for safety reasons,
presents the real AEO conditions.

CAT A Operations Document N°
Training Procedures 139G0290X002

In order to simulate the transient following an engine failure the engine

selected to OEI TNG will accelerate to a maximum of 110% torque
(MFD display) then reduce to approximately 70% while the ‘inopera-
tive’ engine will decelerate to a minimum of approximately 25% torque
then accelerate to around 70%. (See Figure L-2)
The Training Mode can be selected to ENG #1 or ENG #2 either of
which uses the same Training Mode logic but will display, on the PFD
PI the engine selected to Training Mode. See Figure L-2.
The PI displays one engine as ‘inoperative’ and the engine switched to
OEI TNG as the sum of the two engine PI.

SECTION 1L - LIMITATIONS

GENERAL
Apart from Training Weight Limitation presented in this PART L all
other limitations, when using OEI TNG Mode, remain unchanged and
are as presented in the Category A Take Off and Landing procedures
in the appropriate PART’s of this Supplement:

— Part A - Ground Level and Elevated Heliport/Helideck Vertical

Take-Off Procedures

— Part B - Short Field Take Off Procedures

— Part C - Ground Level and Elevated Heliport/Helideck

Back-Up Take-Off Procedures

— Part D - Confined Area Take-Off Procedure

— Part F - Clear Area Take Off Procedures

— Part G - Ground Level and Elevated Heliport/Helideck

Landing Procedures

— Part H - Confined Area Landing Procedure

— Part J - Clear Area Landing Procedures

— Part K - Common Performance Data (Power Check, VY Gradient).

Flight hours carried out in Training Mode must be recorded in helicop-
ter log book.
Aircraft fitted with EPIC Software Phase 5 or later have dedicated CAT
A symbology on the PFD for the following procedures: Helipad, Ele-
vated Helipad, Short field and Back Up. See Supplement 68.

SECTION 2L - NORMAL PROCEDURES

GENERAL DATA
The normal procedures for use of the Training Mode are as follows:
— Confirm TORQUE LIMiter activated (Green TQ LIMITER ON advi-
sory illuminated on CAS)
— Select the OEI TNG switch, when required, to ENG #1 (engine 1 is
displayed on PI as the engine in OEI condition, engine 2 displays
PI = 0 and Nf = 0 on PFD) or ENG #2 (engine 2 is displayed on PI
as the engine in OEI condition, engine 1 displays PI = 0 and Nf = 0
on PFD).

Note
The OEI TNG will be automatically disactivated for one of
the following conditions:
- either engine set to MANUAL MODE
- either engine ENG MODE switch not in FLT
position
- NR droop below 87%
- either engine flame out
- either engine detected fault on EEC
- TORQUE LIMiter disactivated.

TAKE-OFF AND LANDING PROCEDURES

The Take-Off and Landing procedure for Training are as detailed in the
appropriate part of the Supplement for the procedure being carried out
except for Part D Confined Area Take Off Procedure. See below for
details.

Document N° CAT A Operations
139G0290X002 Training Procedures

CONFINED AREA TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE

The change to the Confined Area Take Off procedure is to reduce the
maximum delta PI from 23 % to 18% to give a more realistic climb
profile with the reduced weight.
Item 12 of the Collective/Cyclic Control paragraph of the procedure
becomes:

1. Collective/Cyclic Control — Increase PI by 10 to 12% above

hover value in 2 seconds to initiate
a climb, immediately adjusting the
attitude to allow slight backwards
and left movement with 10 to 15
degrees of left yaw to establish the
centre of the heliport/helideck in
the chin window by 40 ft (12 m)
ATS. (Take Off carried out from for
left hand seat move right and yaw
right).
After applying initial 10 to 12% PI,
continuously and progressively
increase PI to achieve the full 18%
above hover PI by 40 ft (12 m).
From 40 ft (12 m) maintain a con-
stant aspect of the heliport/
helideck in the chin window until
reaching TDP.
All other procedures remain unchanged.
