Description: These charts (Ref. Figure 5-43 and Figure 5-44) may be used to determine hover performance in zero wind conditions for internal load operations or in headwind conditions during external load operations with one engine inoperative (emergency conditions) and the remaining engine at 2.5 minute power rating. 

## NOTE : Unless otherwise authorized by operating regulations, the pilot is not authorized to credit more that 50 percent of the performance increase resulting from the actual favorable head wind increase. 

## NOTE : These charts are not to be used while conducting Category A takeoff and landing operations.

Use of Chart: The following example explains the correct use of the chart in Figure 5-43. Example 1 : Zero wind
Wanted: Maximum gross weight for hover OGE at 2.5 minute OEI power. Known: H P 

### = 4000 FT, OAT = 10 ° C
Method: Enter the chart at 10 ° C and move right to the 4000 H P 

### curve. At this point move up and read from the gross weight scale, 5275 LB. Example 2 : Headwind 

## NOTE : It is essential that reliable wind information be available prior to determining hover. Additionally, only the lower limit of a gust spread may be used to determine head wind credit.

Wanted: Maximum gross weight for hover OGE at 2.5 minute OEI power. Known: H P 

### = 4000 FT, OAT = 10 ° C, 10 knot head wind
Method: Enter the chart at 10 ° C and move right to the 4000 H P 

### curve. At this point move down to the 10 knot headwind line. From this point, move to the left and read from the gross weight scale, 5475 LB.

Next, subtract 5275 LB (from example 1) from 5475 LB to determine the unfactored head wind performance increase of 200 LB. However, the pilot is authorized to allow only 50 percent of the performance credit, resulting in a gross weight increase to 5375 LB.CSP

# SECTION XI CATEGORY A OPERATIONS

PART I GENERAL

11

− 1.1. GENERAL

Information contained in this section pertains to Category A operations only and supplements information that appears in Sections 1 thru 10 of this manual. There are several ``Parts'' to this section. Each ``Part'' is associated with a respective Section from the RFM, with the exception of Part III which covers both normal and emergency procedures. 

## NOTE : Performance charts in this section are based on an aircraft with IPS, NACA inlet door closed, and a power assurance check with zero margin for both engines.



## 11

− 1.2. DEFINITIONS

− CATEGORY A TAKEOFF

Category A takeoff: The takeoff must be performed in such a manner that in the event of a single engine failure the helicopter must be able to: Prior to TDP, return to, and stop safely on the takeoff area (rejected takeoff).

After TDP, continue the takeoff and climbout, and attain a configuration and airspeed that allows continued flight. Best rate of climb speed (V Y 

### ): The best rate of climb speed is that airspeed that achieves the best rate of climb at a given density altitude (Ref. Section V). Continued takeoff distance (CTO): The continued takeoff distance is the horizontal distance along the takeoff path from the start of the takeoff to the point at which the rotorcraft attains and remains at least 35 feet (11m) above the takeoff surface, attains and maintains a speed of at least V TOSS 

### , and establishes at least a 100 ft/min (30.5m/min) rate of climb, assuming the recognition of a critical engine failure at TDP. Intermediate Point (IP): The point at which transition from vertical to rearward flight is established during confined heliport/short field takeoff operations. If engine failure occurs prior to the IP or before the TDP is attained, a safe rejected takeoff (RTO) is assured.Category A Operations General CSP

### FAA Approved Reissue 2 Revision 3 11

− 2 Take-off Decision Point (TDP):
Clear airfield The TDP is a point that occurs 8 seconds after the takeoff procedure is initiated. The takeoff light will display a yellow ``NO-GO'' indication for 8 seconds.

The green ``GO'' indicator illuminates after the TDP. Heliport/Elevated helipad The TDP is a point 100 FT (30m) HAT and approximately 300 FT (91m) behind the center of the heliport.
HAT Height above touchdown. Rejected takeoff (RTO) distance: The horizontal distance required to land and come to a complete stop should the engine fail before reaching TDP.
Short Field Takeoff: The short field takeoff procedure is used for instances when 300 ft (91.4m) ground distance does not exist forward of the takeoff point. The pilot may perform a combination of vertical and rearward climb to attain the TDP HAT. For any rearward climb, or combination of vertical and rearward climb, the helicopter takeoff profile must follow the heliport/elevated helipad profiles to ensure RTO up to the TDP HAT (Ref Figure 11-3.15). Take-Off Safety Speed (V TOSS 

### ): The speed (40 KIAS [74km/h]) at which a safe take-off can be continued following an engine failure. Takeoff Segment distances: Segment I distance The horizontal distance required to climb at V TOSS 

### from 35 FT (10.7m) AGL to 200 FT (61m) AGL.
Acceleration distance The horizontal distance required to accelerate from V TOSS 

### at 200 FT (61m) to V Y. 

### Segment II distance The horizontal distance required to climb at V Y

− 1.3. DEFINITIONS

− CATEGORY A LANDING

Category A landing: The landing must be performed in such a manner so that if the critical engine fails at any point in the approach path, the helicopter must be able to: Prior to LDP, climb out and attain an airspeed that allows continued flight (balked landing). After LDP, land and stop safely. Landing Decision Point (LDP): The landing decision point is the last point in the approach and landing path at which a balked landing can be accomplished with the critical engine failed or failing and with the engine failure recognized by the pilot. This point is defined as 100 FT (30m) HAT and 35 KIAS (65km/h). Landing Distance:
Clear Airfield The horizontal distance required to land and come to a complete stop from a point 50 feet (15m) above the landing surface. Heliport/Elevated helipad The horizontal distance required to land and come to a complete stop from a point 25 feet (8m) above the landing surface.Category A Operations General CSP

The TDP of 100ft/30.5m HAT is located at a ground distance of 300ft/91.4m behind the center of the helipad or landing area when there is no obstacle in the takeoff path. To ensure a safe CTO or RTO, the confined heliport/VTOL technique is flown to

ensure that 300ft/91.4m exists between the helicopter and the far edge of the confined heliport. Variable obstacle heights (Ref. Table 11-3.1): For varying obstacle heights, the pilot maintains the same sight picture from a TDP HAT of 100ft/30.5m to 200ft/61.0m above the surface of the heliport/ helipad. A TDP HAT of 200ft/61.0m (maximum) will be attained at a ground distance of 600ft/189.9m ft behind the center of the helipad.

Obstacle heights FWD and AFT of the takeoff point must be known.

Takeoff performance: Takeoff perform ance is limited by weight/altitude/O AT limits (Ref. Figure 11-2.2 and Figure 11-2.3).



## 11

− 5.2. TAKEOFF DISTANCE REQUIRED

Description: Flight planning must be based on the rejected and continued takeoff distance charts (Ref. Figure 11-5.1, thru Figure 11-5.3.) and the respective charts for Segment I and Segment II climb gradients and acceleration distance (Ref. Figure 11-5.5 thru Figure 11-5.7)
Use of Chart: The following example explains the correct use of the chart in Figure 11-5.1. Example : Wanted: Takeoff distance required. Known: Maximum takeoff gross weight from example in paragraph 11-2.2 = 6160 LB (2791KG). Known: Outside air temperature = 28 ° C Known: Pressure altitude = 2000 FT (610M) Method: Enter top chart at 28 ° C, move right to the 2000 FT (610M) pressure altitude line, now move down to the 6160 LB (2791KG) weight point (interpolated) and now to the left to read approximately 750 FT (229M) takeoff distance. 

## NOTE : Rejected Takeoff Distance Required (Clear Airfield) for the above example is approximately 680 FT (207M) (Ref. Figure 11

# I NTRODUCTION

Purpose

The intent of this source list is to provide Incident Management Teams, Geographic Area Coordination Centers, and Forests access to the availability of helicopter resources on a state, geographical and national basis to conduct human extractions (hoist/short-haul) for emergency evacuations. Both insertion/extraction techniques are used to precisely place emergency response personnel and remove critically injured victims from normally inaccessible terrain or locations.

The goal is to provide emergency response to the seriously injured and to respond as quickly as possible to life threatening situations occurring on agency and interagency incidents. This document can also be useful when filling in information on the Interagency Mishap Response Guide & Checklist.

Emergency helicopter extraction resources identified in this document have been compiled from federal, state, municipal governments, military, and Emergency Medical Response (EMS) programs throughout the country. Many factors may determine the availability and response time of requested resources.

It is important for the user to recognize that identified sources and information may have changed due to unforeseen circumstances. Check ahead of time for availability of possible resources in your geographical area.



## Definitions

Rescue Hoist : 

### A cable winching device permanently mounted to the helicopter that is capabl e of lowering/raising persons attached to the cable.

Short-haul: To transport one or more persons suspended on a fixed line (150’-250’) beneath a helicopter. The intent is to transport persons a short distance (short-haul)

, normally from a limited or inaccessible location to a safe landing area. 

## Note: If you find information that should be added, changed or is missing from the source list, please make corrections on the blank source list template in the appendix and send or email to:

# ORDERING RESOURCES

Careful consideration should be given by the on-scene Incident Commander and/or EMS personnel prior to making the determination to request and initiate the use of the following

resources.
An emergency helicopter request should be initiated and coordinated through the local dispatch or Geographical Area Coordination Center (GACC).

Request military, National Guard or Coast Guard resources through the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (ARFCC), phone #: 800- 851 -3051. It is their job to locate the closest asset to fulfill your emergency rescue needs. It is important to note resource availability may be limited due to military deployments or other factors, and response time may be 2-3 hours.

In some circumstances, orders for county/sheriff department owned aircraft can be placed directly or with the specified contact.

### Appendix 2 EHE Mission Planning

Revision 7 (02/13 ) 

### 62 The following information was compiled by the Intermountain Healthcare Life Flight Program, Salt Lake City, UT and is intended to assist those involved in mission planning for an emergency extraction.

Their website states, “ A hoist rescue is a great tool for extracting patients from challenging environments however this type of operation does have some limitations. Good communication between the requesting agency and Life Flight is critical in creating a plan to best serve all agencies and the patient safely. ”

For additional information go to their website: http://intermountainhealthcare.org/services/lifeflight/about/teams/Pages/hoist.aspx



### Minor revisions have been incorporated into the information to fit the audience.


### Mission planning should begin with these types of questions:

What is the nature of the intended short- haul /hoist rescue? What is the weather at the scene? What do you want the rescuer to do? What is the plan if the rescuer cannot complete the mission? Patient information (i.e. location, mechanism of injury , condition, anyone with the patient, contact) Is there a Command Post (location, IC contact, radio frequencies)? Is SAR at the scene or deployed? Is there a landing area (near the patient, near the Command Post)? Where is the nearest location for jet fuel? Is there anything else you want us to do before we leave the area?



### Factors That Limit Hoist Operations:
Winds are greater than 20 mph, poor visibility, or severe weather. If total weight of patient and equipment exceeds 450 lbs. Hoist operations are not conducted at night. Over water

.



### We may not be able to complete a short-haul/hoist mission if:

There are unresolved communications issues or safety problems. Near dusk. Patient location requires technical rescue. There’s avalanche potential at patient location

.

### Appendix 2 EHE Mission Planning

Revision 7 (02/13 ) 

### 63 

### Initial Short -haul/Hoist Risk Assessment:

Lif e threatening injury or illness. Time dependent injury. Ground evacuation may endanger patient and/or other personnel. Ground eva cuation would be time consuming. Gr ound evacuation is not possible. No landing area near the patient.



### TOMAS
T errain: (Alpine, forest, slope, snow, etc.) When possible, establish a nearby alternate landing area. 

### O bstacles: (Trees, cliffs, rock scree, loose debris, dust, wires, limited daylight, rotor wash, etc.) 

### M ethod: (net, bag, litter, harnesses, tag line, etc.) Logistics, type of insertion/extraction. 

### A lternatives: Standby and/or assist SAR with a ground rescue, land near victim. 

### S afety: Team reviews available information and identifies concerns. Determines “Go/No Go” decision and justifies why.

3. DEFINITIONS

Terms used in this Directive are defined in the Joint Publication 1- 02 (Reference (l)) and Enclosure 2.

4. POLICY

It is DoD policy that:

4.1. The national defense strategy of the United States requires a strong Defense Transportation System (D TS), operating within a national transportation system that is fully responsive and globally capable of meeting personnel and materiel movement requirements of the Department of Defense across the range of mi litary operations. This strategy requires that an optimum mix be achieved that matches defens e requirements with the various modes and methods of transportation, both military and commercial.

4.2. DoD shippers shall utilize commercial reso urces from the DTS to the ma ximum extent practicable unless there is a documented negative cri tical mission impact. An integral part of this policy is providing transportati on service that is streamlined, flexible, cost effective, and responsive to customer needs.

4.2.1. Threat to Airlift Travelers . Members of the Uniformed Services and DoD civilian employees are authorized to use foreign-flag ai rlines (if U.S.-flag carri ers are not available) and/or indirect routings to a void high-threat areas and/or airp orts identified by the Defense Intelligence Agency. DoD personnel using foreign airc raft to avoid specific airports or routings must disembark at the nearest practical intercha nge point and continue th e journey on U.S.-flag carrier service.
