before 2 December 2023, a rotorcraft must comply with the requirements related to first aid oxygen, however described, in accordance with:
 (a) Civil Aviation Order 20.4 and Civil Aviation Order 108.26, as each is in force immediately before the commencement of this instrument; or
 (b) this section.
 (3) With effect from the beginning of 2 December 2023, a rotorcraft must be fitted with, or carry, first aid oxygen in accordance with this section.
 (4) This section applies to a pressurised rotorcraft that:
 (a) is flown above FL 250 at any stage during the flight; and
 (b) is conducting a passenger transport operation; and
 (c) the rotorcraft is required by its flight manual to be flown by more than 1 pilot.
 (5) When the rotorcraft begins the flight, it must carry, for use in first aid, such a volume of first aid oxygen as will provide an average oxygen gas flow rate, calculated assuming dry oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure, of 3 litres a minute for each person:
 (a) for whichever of the following is the greater number of persons:
 (i) 2% of the number of passengers carried on the flight;
 (ii) 1 person; and
 (b) for the flight period after a cabin depressurisation event during which the rotorcraft's cabin pressure altitude exceeds 8 000 ft, but does not exceed 15 000 ft.
 (6) When the rotorcraft begins the flight, it must carry, for use in dispensing first aid oxygen, a sufficient number of specific first aid oxygen dispensing units relative to the number of passengers on board, but in no case less than 2 such units.
 (7) An oxygen dispensing unit:
 (a) must be capable of generating a flow rate, calculated assuming dry oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure, of at least 4 litres a minute for each person STPD; and
 (b) may have a means of reducing the flow to not less than 2 litres a minute for each person STPD at any altitude.

11.41  Carriage of ELTs
  Automatic ELT
 (1) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), when a rotorcraft begins a flight, it must be fitted with an automatic ELT.
 (2) For subsection (1), if the automatic ELT has a switch marked, however described, as 'armed', the pilot in command must ensure the switch is set to this position at the time the flight begins.
 (3) Subsection (1) only applies to a rotorcraft that:
 (a) has a maximum operational passenger seat configuration of more than 3; or
 (b) during a flight is flown more than 50 nautical miles from the departure aerodrome for the flight.
 (4) Subsection (1) does not apply to a flight of a rotorcraft if:
 (a) the rotorcraft
