CS 27.337  Limit manoeuvring load factor

ED Decision 2003/15/RM

The rotorcraft must be designed for:

(a)     A limit manoeuvring load factor ranging from a positive limit of 3.5 to a negative limit of – 1.0; or

(b)     Any positive limit manoeuvring load factor not less than 2.0 and any negative limit manoeuvring load factor of not less than – 0.5 for which:

(1)     The probability of being exceeded is shown by analysis and flight tests to be extremely remote; and

(2)     The selected values are appropriate to each weight condition between the design maximum and design minimum weights.
