Parachute operations in Flight Manual
I am trying to get a overview of the regulations involved in doing parachute operations from a helicopter.
The knotty problem seems to be a paragraph in our national regulations stating that, besides all the other requirements, "The aircraft must be airworthy and may only be used for parachute jumping if stated in the Pilots Flight Manual"
Naturally the helicopter needs to be airworthy - but how many Flight Manuals specifically states that the helicopter may be used for parachute operations...?
I have heard that the above is true for the AS350 Flight Manual - but are there others...?
