Does the AMC allow electronic displays to replace individual flight instruments?

Yes, individual equipment requirements may be met by a combination of parameters on electronic displays, provided that the information available to each required pilot is not less than required and equivalent safety has been shown during type certification approval.

What must be ensured regarding the information available to each pilot when using integrated systems?

The information so available to each required pilot must not be less than the required in the applicable operational requirements.

What is the regulatory basis for this AMC?

The AMC is based on ED Decision 2014/015/R.

AMC1 CAT.IDE.H.125 & CAT.IDE.H.130 Operations under VFR by day & Operations under IFR or at night - flight and navigational instruments and associated equipment

Q: What is required to show equivalent safety when using integrated systems for flight and navigational instruments?

The equivalent safety of the installation must have been shown during type certification approval of the helicopter for the intended type of operation.

Q: Can individual equipment requirements for flight and navigational instruments be met by integrated flight systems or electronic displays?

Yes, individual equipment requirements may be met by combinations of instruments or by integrated flight systems or by a combination of parameters on electronic displays, provided that the information so available to each required pilot is not less than the required in the applicable operational requirements, and the equivalent safety of the installation has been shown during type certification approval of the helicopter for the intended type of operation.

Q: What condition must be met when using integrated flight systems or electronic displays to satisfy individual equipment requirements?

The information available to each required pilot must not be less than that required in the applicable operational requirements, and the equivalent safety of the installation must have been shown during type certification approval of the helicopter for the intended type of operation.

Q: How may the means of measuring and indicating slip, helicopter attitude, and stabilised helicopter heading be met?

They may be met by combinations of instruments or by integrated flight director systems, provided that the safeguards against total failure, inherent in the three separate instruments, are retained.

Q: What safeguard must be retained when using integrated flight director systems for slip, attitude, and heading indication?

The safeguards against total failure, inherent in the three separate instruments, must be retained.

Q: Is it permissible to combine individual instruments into an integrated flight director system for slip, attitude, and heading?

Yes, the means of measuring and indicating slip, helicopter attitude and stabilised helicopter heading may be met by combinations of instruments or by integrated flight director systems, provided that the safeguards against total failure, inherent in the three separate instruments, are retained.

Q: Can integrated flight director systems be used for slip, attitude, and heading without any additional safeguards?

No, they may be used only if the safeguards against total failure, inherent in the three separate instruments, are retained.
