Helicopter Height Velocity Envelope - Requirement under Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008 that an Aircraft Must be Operated in Accordance with its Airworthiness Documentation
Description:With the adoption of the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 (Air Operations Regulation) a previous alleviation, under JAR OPS 3, for flight by helicopters certificated in Category A to allow momentary flight through the height velocity (H V) envelope, as shown in the relevant Flight Manual, has been removed. This prevents normalised operations conducted with exposure approval, such as landings and take-offs to offshore oil and gas installations, from continuing after 28 October 2014. Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008 (Basic Regulation) at Annex IV, paragraph 4(a) requires that aircraft are operated in accordance with their airworthiness documentation and flight manual.
