ECONOMIC ANALYSIS COMMERCIAL HELICOPTER IFR OPERATIONS.

Abstract

The report describes the results of a detailed study which was conducted to determine the potential economic effects of helicopter IFR operations on the scheduled and non-scheduled helicopter operators, considering all pertinent factors; and it is concluded that: (1) Scheduled helicopter operators would gain potential economic benefit from an IFR capability in varying degrees, dependent on locale and types of equipment operated. (2) Generally, non-scheduled operators would gain no economic benefit from an IFR capability, at present, because of the types of equipment operated and services performed. (3) An IFR capability, alone, will not substantially alter the subsidy situation of the scheduled helicopter operator. (Author)
