Far 91.3 allows an offshore operator to momentarily breach the H-V limitations for Part 29 certified helicopters, from an elevated deck if the water is suitable for an intentional landing and the helicopter is equipped with floats. The reg does not address or specifically talk about land based elevated decks......wonder how all that figures in??? What if you have an elevated deck without adequate forced landing areas below....can you still violate the H-V limits as so stated in the 91.3 reg? This would apply to very many of the EMS Hospital pads that some 412's operate out of....and with the Bell method of putting H-V diagrams in the Limitations section of the RFM.......
Care to address this situation Shawn or Nick ?
