Sorry - am I talking to pilots who are not commercially orientated?
I do apologise if thats the case.
I'll spell it out once more:
Winching in commercial helicopters is controlled by the europeans OK? JAR Ops 3 (3.005(h) I think).
You don't go to EASA as a single entity and say: I think we need a winch so can you change your rules for me please???
Secondly - IF the helicopter you fly, cannot hover on one engine whilst winching , the authorities say you cannot do it. IF you fly Pumas or Lynx, the chances are you're mil, therefore you are not subject to the same rules!
There are NO civilian light twins in the UK that can hover SSE whilst winching (except maybe the 109S) Certainly you could make a 902 or 135 hover SSE but you'd have to strip it out and it wouldnt be godd for man nor beast then would it??
Do you understand the difference now? remember, AA's and Police helicopters are passenger flying commercial operations. Just like BA or Virgin!!!lol.
Civilian SAR (S61 etc) winch train SSE.
