CERTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR HELICOPTER EXTERNAL AIR TRANSPORT The objective of helicopter EAT certifica- tion is to assure the user that the equipment being transported can withstand the stresses of an EAT flight environment. Certification for EAT assures the user that the item has met minimum standards for structural integrity and that the associated rigging procedures have been developed specifically for that item. Within the US Army, the MTMCTEA is responsible for transportability approval of developmental equipment. Within the DOD, NRDEC is the lead activity responsible for providing EAT certification and rigging proce- dures for military equipment.
