A determination of physical and performance data for 8 civil helicopters was made. The used helicopters were chosen to exhibit a wide range of characteristics representative of the current civil fleet. Flight manual data as well as certification, flight test, and computer generated performance data were used to complete the study. Approach and departure profiles were developed for several gross weights and ambient conditions and translated into graphs. A menu-driven database was designed to provide easy access to the data. The airspace required for approaches is dependent upon pilot skill and desired approach slope. Pilots can fly approaches steeper than the current standard 8:1 surface if required though pilot workload tends to increase and comfort levels tend to decrease. The airspace required for departures is a function of aircraft performance and ambient conditions.
