prohibited. Such an area may then become an AWZ requiring such persons and vehicles or vessels to be properly prohibited from entering.
       (2) For this instrument, an area may be an AWZ despite the fact that a person has total control over who may enter, or be in, the area.
Note   For example, the presence of contiguous or adjacent buildings not involved in the operation may make an area an AWZ despite the fact that the person for whom the operation is being carried out otherwise has total control over who may enter or be in the area of the building that is involved in the operation.
       (3) If an area beneath an aerial work operation is not an AWZ but, in the event of an emergency or a mechanical failure, the reasonably likely trajectory of an aircraft or its external load would be over the area, then the area beneath the aerial work operation is also an AWZ.

Division 4 Definition of suitable forced landing area

1.06 Suitable forced landing area
Area of ground
       (1AA) This section only applies to OEI operations.
       (1) In this MOS, an area of ground is a suitable forced landing area for a flight of a rotorcraft in an aerial work operation if the rotorcraft could make a forced landing in the area with a reasonable expectation that there would be no injuries to persons in the rotorcraft or on the ground.
    Areas of water
       (2) In this MOS, an area of water that meets the requirements mentioned in subsection (3) is a suitable forced landing area for a flight of a rotorcraft in an aerial work operation if the rotorcraft:
(a) is equipped with emergency flotation equipment; or
(b) has a type certificate or supplemental type certificate for landing on water.
       (3) For subsection (2), and subject to subsection (4), the requirements are the following:
(a) the rotorcraft must be able to ditch in the area of water with a reasonable expectation that there would be no injuries to persons in the rotorcraft or on the water;
(b) there must be a reasonable expectation that persons in the rotorcraft would survive in the area of water for the time that it would take to be rescued;
(c) if an aerial work passenger is carried — the area of water must be:
           (i) adjacent to land; or
           (ii) adjacent to an offshore installation with search and rescue capabilities; or
           (iii) in a location mentioned in the operations manual of an aerial work operator with search and rescue capabilities.
       (4) Factors that affect whether there is a reasonable expectation about the matters mentioned in paragraphs (3) (a) and (b) include the following:
(a) the surface
