CS 29.337 Limit manoeuvring load factor

ED Decision 2003/16/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.
