uncontrolled aerodrome
       6.1Subject to the conditions mentioned in paragraph 6.2, for a landing on, or take‑off from, a part of an uncontrolled aerodrome that is outside the landing area of the aerodrome, a helicopter is exempt from compliance with paragraph 166A (2) (g) of the regulations.
       6.2 The landing or take-off must:
(a) be at or from a place that the pilot in command is satisfied is a HLS; or
(b) for a landing — occur immediately after the helicopter has finished air transiting or air taxiing to the place from another place within the aerodrome; or
(c) for a take-off — occur immediately before the helicopter starts air transiting or air taxiing from the place to another place within the aerodrome.
Note   Subparagraph 6.2 (c) mentions a take-off rather than a lift-off for consistency with subregulations 166A (2) and 167 (2) of the regulations. However, as the ordinary meaning of take-off is wide enough to include the concept of a lift-off, take-off can be read as a reference to lift-off.

7 Exemption from general requirement for pilot to be at controls
       7.1If the condition set out in paragraph 7.2 is complied with, a helicopter is exempt from compliance with subregulation 225 (1) (but not subregulation 225 (2)) and subregulation 230 (2) of the regulations.
       7.2The exemption given by paragraph 7.1, in relation to a helicopter, is subject to the condition that a pilot must, from the time of starting the engine or engines until the time of stopping the engine or engines at the end of the flight, be at the controls of the helicopter unless:
(a) the helicopter is fitted with skid type landing gear; and
(b) the helicopter is fitted with a serviceable means of locking the cyclic and collective controls; and
(c) if a passenger occupies a control seat fitted with fully or partially functioning controls or is seated in a position where he or she is able to interfere with such controls, the controls are locked and the pilot is satisfied that the passenger will not interfere with the controls; and
(d) the pilot considers that his or her absence from the cockpit is essential to the safety of the helicopter or of the persons on, or in the vicinity of, the helicopter; and
(e) the pilot remains in the immediate vicinity of the helicopter.

8 Exemption from requirement to make certain pre-flight tests
       8.1A helicopter is exempt from compliance with paragraph 244 (1) (a) of the regulations subject to the condition that the flight controls of the helicopter must be tested in accordance with the procedures approved in the relevant flight manual.
