Description
Improving the survivability of occupants in a water impact from a helicopter ditching is the subject of a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The NPA would revise type certification standards for both small (Part CS-27) and large (Part CS-29) rotorcraft by requiring several design improvements. In addition, this NPA also proposes some minor enhancements to the certification specifications for new applications for approving ditching and emergency flotation provisions. Comments are due by May 31, 2021.
