VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR)

VISUAL FLIGHT is defined as that in which

helicopter is flown in circumstances when
visibility conditions are such that attitude
determination by outside visual reference is
possible, provided also that at night
helicopter shall not be flown in circumstances
in which sight of ground or water is other than
momentarily lost.
Flight over clouds shall not be commenced
subsequent to an engine becoming
inoperative.

1-4. FLIGHT CREW

1-4-A.

PASSENGER OPERATIONS

Minimum crew consists of one pilot who shall

operate helicopter from right crew seat.
Left crew seat may be used for an additional
pilot station for VMC day and night operations
when approved dual controls and copilot
instrument kits are installed.

1-4-B.

CARGO OPERATION
NOTE

Refer to the applicable operating

rules for internal cargo operations.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Refer to Appendix A for listing of Flight

Manual Supplements (FMS) covering optional
equipment kits available.

Both crew doors on or off, and/or both sliding

doors locked open or removed with both
hinged panels installed or removed. In all
cases, door configuration must be identical
for each side of fuselage. Refer to Section 5
for weight/CG effect.
Flight with doors removed or with sliding
doors open results in a maximum rear change
