Care to share here?

After careful consideration, I don't think I will post it here or send via DM.

My suggestion is to reach out to Trevor Mitchell or Barb Priestley at HAC. I'm sure they would be happy to provide details directly as advocates for the industry.

The correspondence I was provided is between them and TC.

Cheers.

Air Ambulance FRMS restrictions FW & RW are almost none existent, compared to the rest of the regulation.

Check out AC 700-047 rev 3 (700.100 onwards)

Pulsar Informatics out of Seattle has been working with many heli operators I deal with to implement exemptions through an FRMS program. ( all sorts of operators: Medevac, exploration, wildfire suppression, etc.)

 

Below are broad stroke details: (as I understand them)

 

The exemption is effective immediately upon submission to TC, for a duration of 1-2 years while being monitored and analyzed through the FRMS program. After the analysis period application for the exemption to become permanent can be made.

 

Although not cheap, it is a viable solution to continue to operate within the new regulations, and big picture will only be a fraction of the cost of having to hire additional flight crew.

 

Additionally, the FRMS program is a very useful tool, and ultimately in my opinion will make for safer work environments in regard to risk management/fatigue through fact based analysis.

I waited, but I see no results. I don't understand why either.
