ED Decision 2022/014/R

LINE CHECKS — HELICOPTERS

(a)     Prior to using a line check on one helicopter type or variant to revalidate the line check on other helicopter types or variants, the operator should consider whether the type of operations are sufficiently similar in terms of:

(1)     use of aerodromes or operating sites;

(2)     day VFR or night VFR;

(3)     use of operational approvals and specific approvals;

(4)     normal procedures, including flight preparation, take-off and landing procedures; and

(5)     use of automation.

(b)     For IFR operations of helicopters, an operation should only be considered sufficiently similar to allow a line check on one type or variant to revalidate the line check for the other type or variant if such credits are defined in the operational suitability data established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012[67], as determined in point (a) of ORO.FC.140.

(c)      Line check cross-crediting should be defined in the operations manual.
