the rotorcraft is operated within its limitations;
       Note 1   It is recommended that rotorcraft be fitted with a usage monitoring system sooner, where this is feasible.
       Note 2   For the requirements relating to operative and inoperative equipment — see section 22.05. For the technical requirements for a usage monitoring system — see section 22.06.
(d) if a rotorcraft:
           (i) requires hydraulic assistance for flight control in any phase or configuration of flight; and
           (ii) in the event of failure of the hydraulic system or its power supply in the flight phase or configuration — cannot be controlled manually by the pilot in command;
 the rotorcraft must have dual redundancy in the hydraulic system and its power supply;
(e) the rotorcraft must be fitted with a secondary or redundant means of controlling the fuel flow to the engine should the primary means fail;
       Note   The reference in paragraph (e) to a rotorcraft that must be fitted with a "secondary or redundant means" has the effect of including a rotorcraft whose flight manual indicates that the throttle may be used to attempt to control engine RPM during emergencies such as a governor failure.
 (f) subject to paragraph (g), only essential FCMs, air crew members and task specialists may be carried on the flight;
(g) an aerial work passenger may only be carried in accordance with be paragraph 9.04 (2) (f) and Chapter 11;
(h) the operation must be planned to minimise the time the rotorcraft is unable to achieve a suitable forced landing, or safe continuation of flight, if an engine failure occurs.

Division 4 Aircraft IFR flight below minimum height over the sea

9.06 Requirements for aircraft IFR flight below minimum height in IMC or at night over the sea
       (1) This Division applies to the pilot in command of an aircraft in an operation only if:
(a) the operation is for an aerial work certificate holder; and
(b) the flight is an IFR flight below minimum height, in IMC or at night, over the sea (the flight); and
(c) the flight is not a search or rescue operation involving an auto-hover using transition mode capability over the sea.
Note 1   The requirements in Chapter 15, particularly section 15.07 for night external load operations, apply to the operation.
Note 2   A rescue operation is the actual rescue component of a SAR operation. A SAR recovery operation involving an auto-hover using transition mode capability over the sea falls under Division 5 of this Chapter.
Note 3   Division 5 provides for specific auto-hover SAR manoeuvres which use a complex descent and positioning capability over the sea to position a rotorcraft for an auto-hover and winch recovery operation in IMC or where pilot reference
