• Abstract:
  The analysis work presented in this report is part of an ongoing effort by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop improved rotorcraft separation standards. The subject of this report, Analysis and Recommendation of Separation Requirements for Rotorcraft Operation at Airports and Heliports, is specifically oriented toward hazards created by rotorwash in scenarios involving hover and low-speed ground and/or air taxi of rotorcraft. Other ongoing efforts by the FAA are directed toward the investigation of separation requirements involving hazard generating rotorcraft and other rotorcraft/fixed-wing aircraft in flight up and away from the ground.
