tin lizzie Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hopefully someone can help! I'm working on the ATPL-H exams (Canada) and am trying to fing a CARS reference for when a flight attendant is required to be carried on heli ops. After scouring and scouring the best I found was in reference to airlines/aeroplanes (705). If anyone can help (soon!) I would be most greatful!

tin lizzie Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/regserv/cars/part7-705-2146.htm Hi Ray, Thank you for that... I had the 705 reference - I was trying to chase down a CARS reference because the book I'm using (Canadian Helicopter Pilot - Practice Exams - CPL-H/ATPL-H) claims that 18 pax seating requires a flight attendant. If that 705 is the only valid reference I'll add the question to the list of snags for Phil Croucher. As outdated as this book is, it seems to be the only Canadian one specific to helicopters and it would be nice if he would update it! Thanks!

tDawe Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Once you add the 20th seat the helicopter becomes 705 and has to play by airline rules. The CAR that he posted is the only one you need. You can get an exemption to run a heli with 20+ seats under 704 rather than 705 from Transport, but they will still make you carry an FA.

Phil Croucher Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 That is indeed the only reference - although I don't see why that's a snag. I will run it by Ryan though Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
