S-271 Helicopter Crewmember Position Titles – At each level within the ICS organization, individuals with primary responsibility have distinct titles. Titles provide a common standard for all users, and also make it easier to fill ICS positions with qualified personnel. Slide 3-21 Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

S-271 Helicopter Crewmember ICS developed a classification to distinguish the different types, sizes, and capabilities of helicopters. Helicopters were classified as “Type” along with a number to distinguish what category an aircraft fits in based on capabilities. Typically, a Type 1 is the largest category. Slide 3-22 Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

S-271 Helicopter Crewmember Typing of helicopters took the guess work out of what kind of helicopter to order or what type to expect. This simplified the entire air operation organization. Slide 3-23 Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

S-271 Helicopter Crewmember A helicopter may have twelve passenger seats, but that does not mean it can lift that much weight. Density altitude and other environmental factors can affect payload. Density altitude will be covered in unit 5. Slide 3-25 Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

S-271 Helicopter Crewmember Different models within the same series of helicopter may look the same, but newer models generally have increased performance. Example: Bell 206 “Long Ranger” series (L-1, L-3, L-4). The L-1, L-3 and L-4 look the same but the L-4 has a bigger engine and better performance. Slide 3-26 Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles
