Titel:

An Overview of Shol Testing within the Royal Netherlands Navy

Zusammenfassung:
This is a critical overview of the Ship Helicopter Operational Limitation (SHOL) qualification program currently used by the Royal Netherlands Navy. The qualification program, in which first separately the environment and helicopter characteristics are determined, has proved to be useful for the Westland Lynx SH-14D. Unfortunately the test philosophy requires independent testing of each helicopter-ship combination during dedicated sea trials. The test campaigns at sea are time consuming and require a long planning process, while usually allowing only one chance within a small window in which everything must come together. Therefore, research is conducted for optimizing test efficiency and reduce time and cost of the qualification process without concessions in safety for the introduction of the NH-90. Three alternatives are described to replace sea trials namely: flight simulation, read-across with other helicopter types and an analytical network. All three methods have potential to partly replace sea trials and should be investigated and cross-checked with each other. If it proves to be difficult to completely replace sea trials, it should be possible to certify at least the areas where enough confidence is established in the envelope predictions and the SHOL envelope should be adjusted accordingly.
