The UK's Defence, Evaluation & Research Agency (DERA) undertook a programme of work for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the future needs for civil helicopter flight handling requirements. A comparison of existing requirements for both civil and military helicopters was carried out, and recommendations were made concerning the application of new criteria and procedures for civil qualification testing, based largely on the requirements specified in Aeronautical Design Standard 33. In a follow-on trials activity, an investigation of appropriate criteria boundaries for civil applications was carried out through piloted simulation tests using the DERA's Advanced Flight Simulator facility. The paper gives an overview of the documentation review and trials activities, and discusses the main findings.
