Hi Max,
Thanks for that, but reading ICAO (or AINONLINE), the requirements were changed to, Public Transport > 19 pax requiring 2 x 406 and for Public Transport <19 pax / Private transport requiring 1 x 406, for international flights. (Our helicopter flies over the alps alot)
Surely EASA complies with ICAO ?
Do you know if it is stated in EASA Regs ? or JAR-OPS ?
Also, do some countries not require you to have a 406 fitted ?
Sorry for the questions, but looking on forums and getting different info.
According to Cospas/Sarsat, this was being phased out since 2000 and therefore allowing people to comply with new regs by Feb 2009.
Regards
Keepitup
