This paper presents the main results of the test campaign performed on a frigate ship model in a low-speed wind tunnel in order to investigate the ship superstructure airwake by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV). On board wind velocities measurements above the flight deck were carried out by a sonic anemometer and results were compared with these obtained in wind tunnel tests, providing information about the influence of the ship environment on the helicopter safe operational limitations during launch and recovery operations. The first step in the helicopter–ship qualification program is determine the wind limitations in order to build a candidate launch and recovery wind envelope. Thus subsequent steps of the program, additional effects produced by the helicopter rotor and ship motion must be evaluated, and finally flight trial on the ship must be performed to evaluate the pilot workload.
