approved if it contained a maximum time period for altitude alerting equipment to be inoperative that was greater than the time period specified by either a master minimum equipment list (MMEL) or the applicable civil aviation legislation.
       Note 2   For civil aviation legislation, see section 3 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988.
(b) the equipment:
           (i) is inoperative because of a defect that has been approved as a permissible unserviceability for the aircraft for the flight in accordance with regulation 21.007 of CASR; and
           (ii) is fitted or carried in accordance with the permissible unserviceability.

    22.06 Usage monitoring system requirements
       (1) This section applies to a rotorcraft conducting an aerial work operation if it is required by the civil aviation legislation to be fitted with a usage monitoring system.
       (2) The rotorcraft must be fitted with a usage monitoring system which:
(a) is continuously operating when the rotorcraft is operational; and
(b) records and stores data related to the rotorcraft's time-in-service, engines, transmission and rotor systems.
       (3) The usage monitoring system must reliably, accurately and comprehensively record data which when downloaded will show the following:
(a) time-in-service;
(b) operational parameters for the critical engine, and the transmission and rotor systems;
(c) all exceedances of the operational parameters mentioned in paragraph (b).
       (4) The usage monitoring system must have a capability to retain all of the recorded data mentioned in subsection (3), whether for a single flight or a series of flights, until the data can be downloaded and safely stored by the operator for use, as necessary, in managing the aircraft's continuing airworthiness requirements.

22.07 Searchlights and intercommunication system for aerial work operations at night
       (1) The pilot in command of a rotorcraft conducting an aerial work operation that is an SAR operation at night that involves winching and rappelling must not conduct the operation unless the rotorcraft is equipped in accordance with the requirements of this section.
       (2) For a winch and rappelling operation at night, the rotorcraft must be equipped with the following:
(a) at least 1 searchlight (the main searchlight) that may be operated, and trained in azimuth and elevation, by the pilot in command whose hands remain on the flying controls;
(b) at least 1 additional searchlight that may be safely operated, and would provide adequate hover reference, if the main searchlight becomes unserviceable;
(c) an intercommunication system, compliant with the requirements of, or approved under, Part 21 of CASR, that permits continuous communication between all flight crew members, air crew members, and task specialists on board the rotorcraft during the operation.
       (2A) Despite paragraph 22.07 (2) (c), the intercommunication system is not required to permit continuous communication between all flight crew members, air crew members,
