I look for an index of category A certified helicopters. Can anybody help me out in this matter?
Cheers, Alouette:ok:

Every helicopter certified under FAR/JAR Part 29 must have a Cat A approval (although they could be operated under Cat B, sometimes). All helos above 20,000 lbs or that carry more than 9 pax must have a Cat A procedure and certification.

Thanks Nick.
Specifically I would like to know if the Bell 412 is Cat A certified.

Alouette:
B412: yes, FAA CAT A. UK CAA CAT A exists for the SP/HP, but I have a feeling there may still be a couple of issues in limbo down at the CAA for the -EP. If you need more info on UK Cat A status for the -EP, PM me and I'll try to find out: especially now you've got me curious....
