Although helicopter manufacturers usually define limits for the safe operation of a helicopter, they generally apply to a rigid platform situation only. For operations involving ships, additional limitations must be observed. The requirement for the development of adapted operation procedures for helicopters and the determination of new limitations to ensure optimum use and adequate safety are discussed. The relevant test procedure is described. It is shown that, despite certain difficulties related to the kinds of tests, the desired objective can be attained.
