This report identifies the various instrument approach procedures that are available to the helicopter operator. Emphasis is placed on the recently approved Helicopter Only procedures, the criteria for which are contained in Chapter 11 of the Terminal Instrument Procedures Handbook. The objective of this study was to examine currently available solutions to helicopter approach needs. The study also covers new and innovative solutions to helicopter approach requirements. This was accomplished by: Identifying the various navigation aids now being used which may have general application to U.S. helicopter operations. Describing typical locations of use, typical approach procedures, and minimums for each of these aids. Providing estimated equipment costs for both the ground and airborne portions of these systems. Discussing the rationale used to support the use of a particular aid at a particular location or in a specific operational environment. Results of this investigation are presented in the form of a series of helicopter instrument approach options for the user. (Author)
