Title: Performance and Handling Requirements for Rotocraft.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: In order to determine that a rotorcraft is a safe vehicle, an applicant for a type certificate must show compliance to specific minimum requirements. In order to show compliance, an applicant must substantiate the type design through analysis, testing, design limitations, and other acceptable means. This substantiation requires that certain performance information for safe operation of the rotorcraft be presented, in the form of tables, diagrams, or charts, in the flight manual. FAA engineers and designated engineers review the required data submittals to determine that the rotorcraft complies with the applicable minimum safety requirements for rotorcraft performance and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe features.
Respondents: Approximately 4 normal or transport category rotorcraft certification applicants.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2 hours.
