Book Description

The objective of this report is to supplement current, in-place helicopter route procedures and standards. These guidelines are designed to expand upon existing helicopter operational and environmental considerations and to assist FAA air traffic managers and the rotorcraft community in route development, implementation, and maintenance. This is the third in a set of three reports. The two prior reports are: DOT/FAA/RD-90/18, Rotorcraft Terminal ATC Route Standards, and DOT/FAA/RD-90/19, Rotorcraft En Route ATC Route Standards. The recommendations and conclusions from these two reports provide a foundation to enhance the existing Helicopter Route Chart Program.
