Division 4—Operational equipment

11.08  Radiocommunication systems
 (1) A rotorcraft, for a flight, must be fitted with 1 radiocommunication system that is capable of continuous communication on all frequencies necessary to meet reporting, broadcast and listening-watch requirements under regulations  91.630,  91.635, 91.640, and 91.675 of CASR.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), and without limiting subsection (1), for a flight in any class of airspace, a rotorcraft must be fitted with at least 2 independent radiocommunication systems:
 (a) each capable, under normal operating conditions, of communicating with an appropriate ground station from any point on the route, including in the event of any diversion; and
 (b) each capable of receiving meteorological information at any time during the flight; and
 (c) at least one of which must have two-way voice communication capability; and
 (d) at least one of which must provide for communication on the aeronautical emergency frequency 121.5 MHz.
 (3) Despite subsection (2), a rotorcraft for a VFR flight by day must be fitted with the following radiocommunication systems:
 (a) at least 1 VHF radiocommunication system;
 (b) if a VHF radiocommunication system would not allow for continuous communication with ATS at all stages of the flight — one of the following:
 (i) an additional radiocommunication system capable of continuous two‑way communications with ATS or the rotorcraft's operator;
 (ii) an additional radiocommunication system capable of, after activation of the system by a crew member of the rotorcraft, sending an automatic notification to the rotorcraft's operator, or a person nominated by the operator, which:
               (A)  notifies the operator or person of an emergency situation during the flight; and
               (B)  includes information about the rotorcraft's general location.
                  Note: The notification may involve a signal from the radiocommunication system being relayed via multiple communication technologies, for example, satellite relays or mobile phone networks.
 (4) If an additional radiocommunication system is fitted to the rotorcraft under paragraph (3)(b), the system must only be used for communications with ATS, the rotorcraft's operator or a person nominated by the operator, during the flight, when VHF communications with ATS are not available.
 (5) If a flight crew member, of a rotorcraft for a flight, is required to wear a headset under section 11.30, the flight crew member must use the headset as the primary device to communicate with ATS.
