clear any obstacles under the take-off flight path by at least the adequate vertical margin that is for:
           (i) the rotorcraft; and
           (ii) the take-off and initial climb stage of the flight; and
(e) the weight of the rotorcraft allows the rotorcraft, with all engines operating, to achieve the minimum flight altitude for each point in the en route stage of the flight; and
(f) for a flight of a rotorcraft that is a passenger transport operation — the time at any stage of the flight during which a suitable forced landing area is not available is minimised, as far as practicable.

Direction
       (4) The operator must ensure that:
(a) the operator's exposition provides for compliance with subsection (3); and
(b) the pilot in command of the rotorcraft for the flight complies with the relevant requirements arising under the exposition.

27 Medical transport operations — additional requirements
       (1) This section applies to an MTO conducted at a medical transport operating site.
       (2) The operator must ensure that, for the operation:
(a) the exposition contains risk assessment and management procedures; and
(b) the risks are assessed in accordance with the procedures before the operation commences; and
(c) the risks, as assessed, are minimised, through risk mitigation in accordance with the procedures.
       (3) For subsection (2), there must be procedures for the pilot in command of the rotorcraft to:
(a) determine whether the rotorcraft's take‑off weight for the flight is within the limits required for compliance with the rotorcraft's flight manual; and
(b) identify relevant obstacles and other hazards for the flight; and
(c) determine the following for the flight:
           (i) the most suitable flight path and track for take‑off;
           (ii) the take‑off obstacle clearance requirements;
           (iii) the defined point after take‑off (if any) for the rotorcraft;
           (iv) the en route obstacle clearance requirements;
           (v) the most suitable flight path and track for the approach, landing, and baulked landing, if any;
           (vi) the baulked landing obstacle clearance requirements;
           (vii) the defined point before landing (if any) for the rotorcraft.

Direction
       (4) The operator must ensure that:
(a) the operator's exposition provides for compliance with subsections (2) and (3); and
(b) the pilot in command of the rotorcraft for the flight complies with the relevant requirements arising under the exposition.
