These are published by the CAA on our UK Regulations pages. EU Regulations and EASA Access Guides published by EASA no longer apply in the UK. Our website and publications are being reviewed to update all references. Any references to EU law and EASA Access guides should be disregarded and where applicable the equivalent UK versions referred to instead.

This paper comprises two parts. The first reports on the validation of the turbulence criterion developed for operations to offshore platforms (see CAA Paper 2004/03) using archive wind tunnel data and operational data collected via Bristow Helicopters helicopter operations monitoring programme (HOMP). The second part covers the review of the CAP 437 0.9 m/s vertical wind component criterion which, ultimately, provided the justification for its removal.
