Objective

All helicopter passengers travelling onto the UK Sector must take the bideltoid measurement in order to be seated nearest the push-out emergency exit window which is compatible with their body size. The measurement is taken with an approved set of calipers, by an approved measurer. Helicopter passengers with a shoulder width of more than 55.9cm (22”) will be classified as extra broad (XBR), while those with a shoulder width of 55.9cm or less will be classified as ‘regular’. At least 30% of seats on all helicopter types are suitable for XBRs.
