Note.— When determining the distance from land referred to in 4.5.2.2, consideration should be given to environmental conditions and the availability of search and rescue facilities. 4.5.2.2.1 For offshore operations, when operating beyond autorotational distance from land, the life jacket shall be worn unless the occupant is wearing an integrated survival suit that includes the functionality of the life jacket. 4.5.2.3 Helicopters operating in performance Class 3 when operating beyond the distance specified in 4.5.2.2 shall be equipped as in 4.5.2.1. 4.5.2.4 In the case of helicopters operating in performance Class 2 or 3, when taking off or landing at a heliport where, in the opinion of the State of the Operator, the take-off or approach path is so disposed over water that in the event of a mishap there would be likelihood of a ditching, at least the equipment required in 4.5.2.1 a) shall be carried. 4.5.2.5 Each life jacket and equivalent individual flotation device, when carried in accordance with 4.5, shall be equipped with a means of electric illumination for the purpose of facilitating the location of persons. 4.5.2.6 Recommendation.— On any helicopter for which the individual certificate of airworthiness is first issued on or after 1 January 1991, at least 50 per cent of the life rafts carried in accordance with the provisions of 4.5.2 should be deployable by remote control. 4.5.2.7 Recommendation.— Rafts which are not deployable by remote control and which have a mass of more than 40 kg should be equipped with some means of mechanically assisted deployment. 4.5.2.8 Recommendation.— On any helicopter for which the individual certificate of airworthiness was first issued before 1 January 1991, the provisions of 4.5.2.6 and 4.5.2.7 should be complied with no later than 31 December 1992. 4.5.3 All helicopters on flights over designated sea areas 4.5.3.1 Helicopters, when operating over sea areas which have been designated by the State concerned as areas in which search and rescue would be especially difficult, shall be equipped with life-saving equipment (including means of sustaining life) as may be appropriate to the area overflown. 4.5.3.2 Recommendation.— For offshore operations, a survival suit should be worn by all occupants when the sea temperature is less than 10°C or when the estimated rescue time exceeds the calculated survival time. When the elevation and strength of the sun results in a high temperature hazard on the flight deck, consideration should be given to alleviating the flight crew from this recommendation. Note.— When establishing rescue time, the sea state and the ambient light conditions should be taken into consideration. 4.6 All helicopters on flights over designated land areas Helicopters, when operated across land areas which have been designated by the State concerned as areas in which search and rescue would be especially difficult, shall be equipped with such signalling devices and life-saving equipment (including means of sustaining life) as may be appropriate to the area overflown. Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft Part III 22/11/07 II-4-10 4.7 Emergency locator transmitter (ELT) Applicable until 30 June 2008 4.7.1 Performance Class 1 and 2 helicopters for which the individual certificate of airworthiness is first issued after 1 January 2002, operating on flights over water as described in 4.5.1 a) and performance Class 3 helicopters for which the individual certificate of airworthiness is first issued after 1 January 2002, operating as described in 4.5.1 b) shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT and at least one ELT(S) in a raft. 4.7.2 From 1 January 2005, all performance Class 1 and 2 helicopters operating on flights over water as described in 4.5.1 a) and performance Class 3 helicopters operating as described in 4.5.1 b) shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT and at least one ELT(S) in a raft. 4.7.3 Helicopters for which the individual certificate of airworthiness is first issued after 1 January 2002, on flights over designated land areas as described in 4.6 shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT. 4.7.4 From 1 January 2005, helicopters on flights over designated land areas as described in 4.6 shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT. 4.7.5 Recommendation.— All helicopters should carry an automatic ELT. 4.7.6 ELT equipment carried to satisfy the requirements of 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.7.3, 4.7.4 and 4.7.5 shall operate in accordance with the relevant provisions of Annex 10, Volume III. Applicable from 1 July 2008 4.7.7 From 1 July 2008, all helicopters operating in performance Class 1 and 2 shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT and, when operating on flights over water as described in 4.5.1 a), with at least one automatic ELT and one ELT(S) in a raft or life jacket. 4.7.8 From 1 July 2008, all helicopters operating in performance Class 3 shall be equipped with at least one automatic ELT and, when operating on flights over water as described in 4.5.1 b), with at least one automatic ELT and one ELT(S) in a raft or life jacket. 4.7.9 ELT equipment carried to satisfy the requirements of 4.7.7 and 4.7.8 shall operate in accordance with the relevant provisions of Annex 10, Volume III. Note.— The judicious choice of numbers of ELTs, their type and placement on aircraft and associated floatable life support systems will ensure the greatest chance of ELT activation in the event of an accident for aircraft operating over water or land, including areas especially difficult for search and rescue. Placement of transmitter units is a vital factor in ensuring optimal crash and fire protection. The placement of the control and switching devices (activation monitors) of automatic fixed ELTs and their associated operational procedures will also take into consideration the need for rapid detection of inadvertent activation and convenient manual switching by crew members. 4.8 All helicopters on high altitude flights Note.— Approximate altitude in the Standard Atmosphere corresponding to the value of absolute pressure used in this text is as follows: Section II, Chapter 4 Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft II-4-11 22/11/07 Absolute pressure Metres Feet 700 hPa 3 000 10 000 620 hPa 4 000 13 000 376 hPa 7 600 25 000 4.8.1 A helicopter intended to be operated at flight altitudes at which the atmospheric pressure is less than 700 hPa in personnel compartments shall be equipped with oxygen storage and dispensing apparatus capable of storing and dispensing the oxygen supplies required in 2.3.8.1. 4.8.2 A helicopter intended to be operated at flight altitudes at which the atmospheric pressure is less than 700 hPa but which is provided with means of maintaining pressures greater than 700 hPa in personnel compartments shall be provided with oxygen storage and dispensing apparatus capable of storing and dispensing the oxygen supplies required in 2.3.8.2. 4.8.3 A helicopter intended to be operated at flight altitudes at which the atmospheric pressure is more than 376 hPa which cannot descend safely within four minutes to a flight altitude at which the atmospheric pressure is equal to 620 hPa, and for which the individual certificate of airworthiness was issued on or after 9 November 1998, shall be provided with automatically deployable oxygen equipment to satisfy the requirements of 2.3.8.2.
