AMC1 SPA.HEMS.110(d)(6)&(d)(7) Equipment requirements for HEMS operations ED Decision 2023/007/R SHORT EXCURSIONS ABOVE 13 000 FT WITHOUT OXYGEN If the operator or an individual crew member has no experience in flying without oxygen above 13 000 ft, then the operator should set operating conditions or individual limitations for crew members to progressively gain experience and adapt to altitude, based on a risk assessment. The limitations may restrict the maximum duration spent above 10 000 ft, or the maximum altitude, and should be removed when no longer relevant. The altitude of the HEMS operating base should be taken into account to assess the physiological adaptation of the crew member to high altitudes. *[applicable from 25**May**2024* — *ED Decision 2023/007/R]* AMC1 SPA.HEMS.110(d)(6)&(d)(7) Equipment requirements for HEMS operations ED Decision 2023/007/R SHORT EXCURSIONS ABOVE 13 000 FT WITHOUT OXYGEN If the operator or an individual crew member has no experience in flying without oxygen above 13 000 ft, then the operator should set operating conditions or individual limitations for crew members to progressively gain experience and adapt to altitude, based on a risk assessment.
