Its all great reading but when put up againist the reality of some companies that take 4-6 months to repairs their AWOS machines on one hand, then complain about the reduced loads for additional fuel because thier WX machines are out. I doubt they could read or understand JAR-OPS

Others have helipads so poorly located that a performance 1 helicopter requirements would only be met on about 20% of the landings due to adverse winds or multiple obstructions . And they are not stopping the 80% of flights that are not able to have performance 1 .

Or the best one I have seen in a long time is Its a storm evacuation so all the "safety" rules are "waived"

So with companies like that its pretty easy that they can not keep all track of what they want againist what they are actually doing. When they write out specs.
