SPO overwater operations requirements
Ciao ragazzi. Chi di voi sa qual'e' il minimo equipaggiamento a bordo di un aeroplano che conduce SPO operations overwater (no passeggeri, solo personale specializzato a bordo) a piu' di 50 miglia dalla costa? Non riesco a capire se la life raft e' obbligatoria o se e' una scelta a discrezione della CAMO della ditta.

(d) The pilot-in-command of an aeroplane operated at a distance away from land where an emergency landing is possible greater than that corresponding to 30 minutes at normal cruising speed or 50 NM, whichever is the lesser, shall determine the risks to survival of the occupants of the aeroplane in the event of a ditching, based on which he/she shall determine the carriage of:
(1) equipment for making the distress signals;
(2) life-rafts in sufficient numbers to carry all persons on board, stowed so as to facilitate their ready use in emergency; and
(3) life-saving equipment, to provide the means of sustaining life, as appropriate to the flight to be undertaken.

(b) The pilot-in-command should, for determining the risk, take the following operating environment and conditions into account:
(1) sea state;
(2) sea and air temperatures;
(3) the distance from land suitable for making an emergency landing; and
(4) the availability of search and rescue facilities.

Ma infatti! Anche se non hai passeggeri paganti a bordo hai comunque le vite degli operatori. Ho chiesto proprio perche' mi trovo in questa situazione e la risposta della compagnia e' stata "Siamo legali al 100%". Ero convinto che le SOP contenessero dei "minimum requirements" e che fosse stato fatto da loro un risk assessment accettabile. Grazie cmq per le risposte
