Abstract: In order to determine that the rotorcraft is a safe vehicle, an applicant for a type certificate must show compliance to specific minimum requirements. Thus all manual creation and updates must be submitted for review as required by this information collection. FAA engineers and designated engineers review the required data submittals to determine that the rotorcraft complies with the applicable minimum safety requirements for rotorcraft performance and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe features. A probable unsafe condition could exist for the owner/operator or public if the performance data or Rotorcraft Fight Manual (RFM) was in error.
