DEFINITIONS
Category A Takeoff is determined so that, if one engine fails at any time after the start
of takeoff, the aircraft can
prior to TDP return to and stop safely on the takeoff area, or
after TDP continue the takeoff and climb out and attain single-engine forward flight.
Category A Landing is determined so that, if one engine fails at any point in the approach path, the aircraft can
prior to LDP climb-out from the point of engine failure and attain single-engine forward flight or continue the approach and stop safely on the landing area, or
after LDP continue the approach and stop safely on the landing area.

GENERAL DATA
Takeoff Decision Point (TDP) is the first point from which a continued takeoff capability
is assured and is the last point in the takeoff path from which a rejected takeoff is assured within the determined rejected takeoff distance.
Landing Decision Point (LDP) is the last point in the approach and landing path from
which a balked landing can be accomplished.
Continued Takeoff Distance is the horizontal distance along the takeoff flight path from
the start of the takeoff to the point at which the helicopter attains and remains at least 35
feet above the takeoff surface, attains and maintains a speed of at least VTOSS, and establishes a positive rate of climb.
Rejected Takeoff Distance is the horizontal distance necessary to stop safely the helicopter when one engine becomes inoperative prior to TDP.
Clear Heliport Landing Distance Required is the horizontal distance necessary for a
helicopter with one engine inoperative to land and come to a complete stop from a point
50 ft above the landing surface.
Takeoff Segment I Distance is the horizontal distance necessary to climb with VTOSS
from the end of the takeoff distance to 200 ft AGL.
Takeoff Segment II Distance is the horizontal distance necessary to climb with VY from
200 ft to 1000 ft AGL.
Takeoff Safety Speed (VTOSS ) means a referenced airspeed obtained after takeoff at
which the required oneengineinoperative climb performance can be achieved (steady
R/C of at least 100 ft/min with 2 min/30sec power (OEI) to 200 ft AHE).
VTOSS = 40 KIAS
Best Rate-of-climb Speed (VY ) is the airspeed which leads to the greatest gain in altitude in a specified period of time.
VY = 65 KIAS

HEIGHT GAIN OVER A HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
A.5.3.1. OEI climb performance

OEI climb performance charts (see also Section 5 of the basic Flight Manual) are presented for OEI/MCP and 2.0-min/30-sec power ratings at different airspeeds (VY and
VTOSS). These charts show height gain data as functions of takeoff pressure altitude, outside air temperature and gross mass.
NOTE
9.1-1 20
The height gain charts over a horizontal distance are based on the takeoff altitude. The read out height gains are valid in segment I from the takeoff altitude
up to 200 ft above it, and for segment II from the takeoff altitude up to 1000 ft
above it.

GENERAL DATA
A.5.3.2. Influence of significant turns during OEI climb

The performance data fig. A4 to fig. A15 apply to climbs without any significant bank
angle. The following table shows the reduction in height gain over a horizontal distance
of 100 ft in the takeoff climbout flight path (valid for all combinations of gross mass/altitude/OAT):
n Height Gain / OEI (ft /100 ft)
Bank angle 15_
Bank angle 30_

8
Segment II 65 KIAS (VY)

NOTE
In segment I a turn limited to 10_ bank angle is authorized without change in

height gain.

ENROUTE FLIGHT WITH ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE (OEI)

The maximum gross mass chart for OEI enroute flights is presented for OEI/MCP power
rating at VY = 65 KIAS. This chart shows the maximum gross mass that permits a rate of
climb of at least 50 ft/min at an height of 1000 ft AGL.
For maximum vertical takeoff and landing gross mass refer to Fig. A16 or, if sandfilter is
installed, to Fig. A17. However if external mounted optional equipment (shown below) is
installed, proceed as follows:
All results obtained from maximum takeoff and landing gross mass chart (Fig. A16
or A17) are to be corrected using these correction values:

GENERAL DATA
If the ambient conditions (PA, OAT) are presented by a point located in the dashed area
of the diagram (extrapolated beyond the upper gross mass limit), the correction value(s)
may be subtracted from the gross mass value corresponding to that point.
However, the result must not exceed the upper gross mass limit of 2910 kg (2720

MODIFIED FLIGHT PATH TO CLEAR HIGH OBSTACLES
C.5.2.1. Modified takeoff flight path

Some heliports may require an increase in the standard TDP height due to obstacles in
the close surroundings of the site. For this purpose, the following procedure for varying
the TDP standard height is permissible.
Depending on the location of the obstacle relative to the heliport, two different procedures have been established:
C.5.2.1.1. DISTANCE FROM HELIPORT TO OBSTACLE IS LESS THAN THE TAKEOFF DISTANCE
REQUIRED
Establish the TDP height such that the minimum height presented in Table C1/
Table C2 is not lower than the obstacle height plus the minimum clearance as defined by the operational rules.
EXAMPLE:
(see Fig. C22 and Table C1)
Determine:
TDP height for vertical takeoff
Known:
Obstacle height . . . . . . . 60 ft
Obstacle distance . . . . . . 50 m (in direction of departure)
Solution:
1. Add minimum clearance as defined by operational rules (e.g. 35 ft) to
known obstacle height (60 ft) to obtain minimum height for takeoff (85 ft).
2. Using table C1, select for the derived minimum height (85 ft) the corresponding TDP height = 180 ft.

Distances and Heights with Variable TDP / Elevated Heliport
C.5.2.1.2. DISTANCE FROM HELIPORT TO OBSTACLE IS GREATER THAN THE CONTINUED

TAKEOFF DISTANCE REQUIRED
First, from the OEI Height Gain Over a Horizontal Distance of 100 ft charts in Subsection A, determine the climbout height attainable over the distance from the heliport to the
obstacle less the takeoff distance required. The height thus obtained plus the height at
the end of takeoff distance from Table C1/ Table C2 is the attainable height above the
takeoff surface when the helicopter reaches the obstacle. Select a TDP height such that
this attainable height is not lower than the obstacle height plus the minimum clearance
as defined by operational rules. Since the required takeoff distance reduces when the
TDP height is increased (see Table C1/Table C2), the calculation must be repeated until
an acceptable TDP height is obtained.
EXAMPLE:
(see Fig. C22 and Table C1)

Supposed Takeoff Distance . . 150 m
Headwind component . . . . . . . . . 0 kt
EASA APPROVED
Rev. 10
9.1-1 89

Solution:
1. With the known WAT data (2650 kg, SL, 15 C), plot the climb performance using the OEI Height Gain - Segment I Chart (see Subsection A,
Fig.6) and calculate for a horizontal distance of 150 m (300 m minus 150
m).
Result: approx 19 ft per 100 ft, i.e. approx 93 ft per 150 m..
2. Calculate minimum height required at the obstacle = 185 ft:
Obstacle height
150 ft
Minimum clearance
35 ft
3. Calculate minimum height to achieve VTOSS (185 ft minus 93 ft = 92 ft).
4. Using Table C1, round up to the next highest line of Height achieved
VTOSS (i.e.110 ft) giving a provisional TDP height of 180 ft.
5. Since the takeoff distance is reduced to 110 m at a TDP of 180 ft (see
Table C1), repeat the calculation from step 1: the Segment I height gainover a horizontal distance of 190 m (300 m minus 110 m) is 118 ft (using
the same height gain rate as in step 1).
6. The minimum height required at the obstacle = 185 ft (see step 2)
7. Calculate minimum height to achieve VTOSS (185 ft minus 118 ft, i.e. 67 ft).
8. Since the height to achieve VTOSS (110 ft for TDP = 180 ft; see Table C1)
is higher than necessary (67 ft), take the next lower TDP height of 160 ft.
9. Prove the complete flight path for TDP height of 160 ft:
height achieved VTOSS (125 m) is 90 ft
height gain up to the obstacle (300 m 125 m = 175 m) is 109 ft
height at obstacle is (109 ft + 90 ft) 199 ft
The minimum required height at the obstacle of 185 ft is secured.

3. Altimeter/Radar altimeter
Set
For confined operation the barometric or radar altimeter is to be used as source for LDP/
TDP identification.
Before starting confined heliport operation, the TDP, indicated by the barometric altimeter
should be defined as follows:
Reference:
The reference is the helicopter on the elevated heliport, with engines in flight idle
and low collective pitch setting (torque < 2x15%), or before engines started.
NOTE
Ground run with high pitch settings or using hover in ground effect as baro altitude
reference will lead to erroneous results.

CONFINED HELIPORT VERTICAL LANDING

At airfields where radar altimeter indication can not be used for determination of LDP
altitude or for VTOL operation to or from elevated heliports the barometric altimeter is to
be used as source for LDP/TDP identification.
Before starting elevated heliport operation, the LDP, indicated by the barometric altimeter
should be determined as follows:
The LDP is the indicated baro altitude plus the LDP difference baro value of the following
table.
PA 0....5999 ft
330 ft
PA 6000 ft to max.
370 ft
FCDS baro altimeter
LDP baro
PA 0 ft to max.
300 ft
Procedure
1. Prelanding check
Perform
2. Baro altimeter
Set the accurate local QNH of

the landing area
3. Continue landing approach
Reduce airspeed for 20 KIAS on

LDP
NOTE
After passing LDP:

4. Approach
Continue, check position of

landing area as shown in Fig.
E8
5. Speed
Decrease slowly to arrive at a

4-ft hover above landing point
6. Slow vertical descent
Initiate to touchdown
NOTE
9.1-1 124
An alternate procedure for determing the LDP baro altitude is, to overfly the landing
area before landing to determine the baro altitude indication by comparing baro
and radar altitude.
