A Comparison of Civil and Military, European and United States Regulations and Standards for the Certification of Helicopter Structure

Abstract

A comparison of a range of civil and military, United States and European regulations and structural certification standards for the fatigue substantiation of rotary wing aircraft structure was conducted. The comparison utilised a graphical hierarchy-based methodology developed as an improvement on text-based and spreadsheet-based methodologies identified in a review of relevant literature. The result of the comparison activity was a thorough, updateable, user-friendly, interpretive and current comparison product that will be used to guide the Technical Airworthiness Authority and Defence Science and Technology Organisation researchers on the intent of the subject documents and the similarities and differences between them.
