at night;
(b) a passenger transport operation with a maximum operational passenger seat configuration of more than 9;
(c) a medical transport operation (an MTO) under the IFR, or under the VFR at night.
       (2) Subject to subsection (3), for an operation mentioned in subsection (1), a suitable forced landing area must always be available during a flight over a populous area.
       (3) For subsection (2), if a suitable forced landing area is not always available, the operator must minimise risks to persons not involved in the operation (uninvolved persons) by:
(a) including, in the exposition, risk assessment procedures to identify:
           (i) the location of any suitable forced landing areas for the flight as are available; and
           (ii) the associated flight path that most reasonably minimises the risks to uninvolved persons should one engine on the rotorcraft fail during any stage of the flight.

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.

25 Additional requirements for a multi-engine rotorcraft
       (1) This section does not apply to an MTO operating below 300 feet AGL into or out of a medical transport operating site.
       (2) Subject to subsection (1), the requirements in this section apply to a multi‑engine rotorcraft mentioned in subsection 24(1), in an operation mentioned in paragraph 24(1)(a), (b) or (c).
       (3) The operator, and the pilot in command, must each ensure that, during a relevant period of a flight, the rotorcraft is operated in accordance with the requirements relating to climb performance, obstacle avoidance and en route performance set out in subsection (4).
       (4) For subsection (3), the requirements for a relevant period are that the pilot in command must be satisfied that the rotorcraft is able, with one engine inoperative (OEI), to:
(a) continue a safe climb, or conduct a baulked landing and climb, to the minimum flight altitude for the flight; and
(b) avoid obstacles by the adequate vertical margin; and
(c) either:
           (i) fly to a suitable alternate aerodrome for the flight at the minimum flight altitude for the flight, and conduct an OEI landing; or
           (ii) for a take-off — conduct a safe return to the departure aerodrome; or
           (iii) for a landing — conduct a safe OEI approach and landing at the destination aerodrome.

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