Medium rotorcraft?
Maybe a silly question, yet I haven't found any answer...
JAR-27 applies to rotorcrafts with a maximum mass of 7000 lbs. JAR-29 applies to rotorcrafts with a mass of 20 000 or more. I cannot found any document (JAR-28?) for those aircrafts with a mass between 7000 and 20000 lbs, can you? Thanks |
Part 27 (FAR/JAR/CS) applies to rotorcraft up to and including 7,000lbs
Part 29 (FAR/JAR/CS) applies to rotorcraft over 7,000lbs. Jim |
Sounds more likely, however I'm quite sure about that JAR-29 says over 20,000...
Any chance you can give me a link to the source as I only find the amendment to JAR-29 on JAA homepage. |
Not that I'd know but the JAR 29 reference I have seems to imply that >20000lbs and with 10 or more passenger seats you must be Cat A.
It does allow for less than 20000lbs and less than 10 seats being Cat B with some variations. All in Para 29.1 Appliciability. My copy may not even be up to date but its all I have to hand. |
GOT - JimL is right (though I was tempted to tell you to hunt for Part 28;)).

look at the EASA Web site
hello GOT!
You find the actual rules for certifying at the EASA home page. The JAR 27/ JAR 29 are quite identical to the CS 27 / CS 29. The JAR 29 is for Helos of 20.000 lbs and/or more than 9 pers. capacity The JAR 27 says if Your Helo is heavier than 7.000 lbs than take another JAR/CS for certification - and that is JAR CS 29.... Ther are no rules between reg. fl (my first post in here - hopefully it is working and understanable...) |

If you read the first section - 29.1 Applicability - you will see that the references to 20,000 lb are only pertinent to the requirement to be certified as Category A or not.
CS29 most definitely applies to aircraft above 7000 lb. On a pedantic note, should not the following: Rotorcraft with a maximum weight of 9072 kg (20 000 pounds) or less and nine or less passenger seats may be type certificated as Category B rotorcraft. |
