Grading comment
I have opted for 'transport helicopter' but have included a footnote since I believe that the TH could equally stand for 'turbo-hélice' as suggested by Tobias.

Reference: CTE TH

Reference information:
You can find a reference to the term in this document, in the salary table for pilots, etc. (page 2811).
http://bte.gep.mtss.gov.pt/documentos/2010/24/27742816.pdf

It mentions CTE TH and also OP TH. It would appear to be some kind of bonus or extra payment to these two categories. It comes under the heading "Exercício (2% do VB)", i.e. 2% of the base salary shown. However, I could not find what the letters TH stand for...

Asker: The reference you found is wholly valid Tobias, so it could indeed be 'turbo-hélice' or they have used the English abbreviation TH for transport helicopter so I will put a Translator's footnote - thanks so much for your help!
