IFR OPERATION
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT FOR IFR FLIGHT SINGLE PILOT
In addition to that required for VFR day and night flight, the following items
must be operational before IFR flight is initiated.
— SAS1, SAS2, ATTD HOLD
— Pilot’s flight instruments as follows:
- Attitude director indicator (ADI)
- Horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and course deviation indicator
(CDI)
- Attitude indicator - Stand-by
- Instantaneous vertical speed indicator (I.V.S.I.)
- Encoding altimeter
— Pilot’s and stand-by intercommunication system
— Dual communication transceivers (VHF 1 and 2)
— VOR/ILS 1
— VOR/ILS 2 with additional course selector indicator (CSI)
— ADF
— ATC Transponder
— Clock
Both helipilots (SAS1 and 2), ATTD HOLD mode, and force trim must be
engaged for IFR flight.
NOTE
With anyone of the required IFR equipment inoperative, VFR
flight is permitted.
FLIGHT WITH ONE OF THE TWO HELIPILOTS INOPERATIVE
IFR flight may be initiated to fly to a repair facility providing IFR qualified
second pilot occupies the copilot’s station and the aircraft is fitted with dual
controls and dual flight instruments.
Following one helipilot failure, climb rate must be limited to 500 FPM and
cruise flight above 120 Kts requires the pilot to maintain hands on flight
controls.
