(1) sufficient resolution to allow mag-

nification of the display to make appropriate 
measurement and comparisons; and 

(2) sufficient size and incremental marking 

to allow similar measurement and compari-
son. The detail provided by the video should 
provide sufficient clarity and accuracy to 
measure the necessary parameter(s) to at 

least 

1

⁄

2

of the tolerance authorized for the 

specific test being conducted and allow an 
integration of the parameter(s) in question 
to obtain a rate of change.

Notes 

Test entry number and title 

1.a.1.a. Performance. En-

gine Start and Accelera-
tions.

X 

Data may be acquired using a synchronized video recording of all 

engine instruments, start buttons, means for fuel introduction and 
means for moving from ‘‘idle’’ to ‘‘flight.’’ A stopwatch is nec-
essary.

1.a.1.b. Performance. 

Steady State Idle and 
Operating RPM Condi-
tions.

X 

Data may be acquired using a synchronized video recording of all 

engine instruments, and include the status of the means for mov-
ing from ‘‘idle’’ to ‘‘flight.’’.

1.a.2. Performance. Power 

Turbine Speed Trim.

X 

Data may be acquired using a synchronized video recording of all 

engine instruments. Speed trim actuator position may be hand re-
corded.

1.a.3. Performance. Engine 

and Rotor Speed Gov-
erning.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

1.b.1. Performance. On 

Surface Taxi. Minimum 
Radius Turn.

X 

TIR, AFM, or Design data may be used.

1.b.2. Performance. On 

Surface Taxi Rate of 
Turn vs. Nosewheel 
Steering Angle.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a constant tiller position (measured 

with a protractor), or full pedal application for steady state turn, 
and synchronized video of heading indicator. If less than full 
pedal is used, pedal position must be recorded.

A single procedure 

may not be ade-
quate for all rotor-
craft steering sys-
tems. Appropriate 
measurement 
procedures must 
be devised and 
proposed for 
NSPM concur-
rence. 

1.b.3. Performance. Taxi ...

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

1.b.4. Performance. Brake

X 

Data may be acquired using a stopwatch and a means for meas-

uring distance such as runway distance markers conforming with 
runway distance marker standards.

1.c.1. Performance. Run-

ning Takeoff.

X 

Preliminary certification data may be used. Data may be acquired 

by using a synchronized video of the calibrated helicopter instru-
ments and the force/position measurements of flight deck con-
trols. Collective, cyclic, and pedal position time history must be 
recorded from the start of collective movement through to normal 
climb. Indicated torque settings may be hand recorded at the mo-
ment of lift-off and in a steady normal climb.

1.c.2. Performance. One 

Engine Inoperative (OEI), 
continued takeoff.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls. Collective, cyclic, and pedal position 
time history must be recorded from the start of collective move-
ment through to normal OEI climb. Indicated torque settings may 
be hand recorded at the moment of lift-off and in a steady normal 
OEI climb.

1.f. Performance. Level 

Flight. Trimmed Flight 
Control Positions.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

1.g. Performance. Normal 

Climb. Trimmed Flight 
Control Positions.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.

1.h.1. Descent Perform-

ance and Trimmed Flight 
Control Positions.

X 

Data may be acquired by using a synchronized video of the cali-

brated helicopter instruments and the force/position measure-
ments of flight deck controls.
