The program provides a means of rapidly estimating rotorcraft takeoff and landing capabilities from or to any given heliport size or location. Proper application of the instructions outlined herein for computing opertional capabilities and flight procedures can minimize the risk and cost of testing rotorcraft capabilities in the takeoff, landing and emergency of flight. The program has been written in FORTRAN IV and designed primarily for interactive operation on the IBM 360/65 computer system, in conjunction with a PDP-11 and DEC-GT-40 scope and a Houston bed type plotter. Interfacing with a Tektronix storage tube Model 4010, 4012, or 4014, the Houston plot bed and the IBM 360/65 is also available. Options for batch processing with and without Houston plots has been provided. With minor modifications the program can also be interfaced with a CDC or UNIVAC 1110 in lieu of the IBM 360/65. Program modifications required for CDC 6600 compatibility are covered in Section 9 of this report. (Author)
