NATO's rotorcraft aviation forces rely heavily on ship-based operations for both military and commercial applications. The requirements to provide surveillance, supplies and force projection options in areas where land- based operations are not available also dictate aircraft/ship operations. These multi-national forces operate from a variety of different aircraft and ships in both weather and visibility extremes. Basic helicopter flight limitations are usually determined in a land-based environment by the aircraft manufacturer and/ or by the procuring activity. The land-based limitations are not valid in the shipboard environment due to the individual factors including ship air wake/ turbulence, ship motion, confined landing areas and visual cue limitations and due to the combined effects of these factors. Future NATO operators and force commanders may require the maximum helicopter/ship operational capability that can be accomplished in any environmental condition. The purpose of this AGARDograph is to document the helicopter/ship qualification test procedures including the preparation, execution and data analysis of helicopter/ship flight testing that should be employed, combined with best safety practices to obtain that maximum operational capability. Attention is focused on helicopter take-off and landing, which constitutes the main part of the test programme.
