That's a reference to the CFR 135.293 (c) VFR currency requirements, though the regulation calls for "competency".
I wonder which type of helicopter the training was on, though. Island Express had 3 S76 and 3 AS-350. Eurosafety's US training center is in Camarillo, and they offer "advanced recurrent" training for the AS-350 only (full list of types at
