ACCG helps rotorcraft operators stand up safe, compliant external-load operations. We author operator-tailored drafts—including the Rotorcraft-Load Combination Flight Manual (RLCFM)—coordinate content with your team, and provide guidance for FAA coordination.
We prepare submission-ready documentation—RLCFM drafts, training/checking outlines, forms, lift plans, and job hazard analysis checklists—tailored to your aircraft and missions. You coordinate directly with the FAA; we provide guidance and support on request.
“External load” is any load carried or extended outside the fuselage, commonly by sling/longline beneath the helicopter (slung loads), or rigidly attached.
Operators performing towing, lowering, laying down external cargo in contact with the ground, or external carriage/handling of cargo or persons by bucket, net, harness, sling, or stretcher.
We tailor documentation to your exact mission set—utility, construction, logging, fire, powerline, etc.
United States applications are coordinated with the FAA; other countries use their local CAA with nearly identical requirements.

We provide submission-ready documentation and guidance. Operators coordinate directly with the FAA.
We include a concise training & checking framework in the package. Some operators expand it into a stand-alone program depending on fleet/mission complexity.
In the RLCFM. The operator’s aircraft and equipment must demonstrate airworthiness for the classes sought; the manual lists authorized classes per §133.47(b).
Yes. We can provide PDF/Word forms suitable for tablet use and help you organize documents for portable EFB programs.
Most CAAs mirror FAA requirements. We adapt the package to local terminology and forms while preserving the same safety and procedural baseline.
We’ll tailor your RLCFM draft, training outline, and forms—and prepare you for the demonstration.
