hihover,
JAA/EASA - Joint Operational Evaluation Board Agusta AB139 FCL and OPS Subgroup report
The above document (originally posted by 212man in this thread, 2nd May 2011) details, at page 14 sub para 3.2, that:
The currently EASA approved AB139 Rotorcraft Flight Manual includes the following limitations to Category B operations:...blah...blah...Minimum flight Crew - IFR - 2
SECTION 1 JAR–FCL 2 01.09.03 1–G–1 Amendment 3 SUBPART G – AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT LICENCE (Helicopter) – ATPL(H)JAR-FCL 2,
...states the following:
JAR–FCL 2.295 Skill
(a) An applicant for an ATPL(H) shall have demonstrated the ability to perform as pilot-in-command of a helicopter type certificated for a minimum crew of two pilots under IFR in accordance with FAR/JAR 27 and 29 helicopter category, or equivalent code; or helicopter required to be operated by two pilots under JAR–OPS, the procedures and manoeuvres described...blah...blah...
...so why would the CAA not issue a JAA ATPL(H) based on the AW 139 if a TR & IR were completed at the AW TRTO?
