## Abstract

This final rule amends the airworthiness standards to provide improved safety standards for rotorcraft load combination (RLC) certification. Several accidents occurred in the past 15 years involving the carriage of humans external to the rotorcraft. These amendments provide an increased level of safety in the carriage of humans. Also, significant changes in equipment employed in external load operations have occurred. This document addresses those advances in technology and is harmonized to international standards.
