This document outlines personnel specifications for helicopter contractors, including requirements for flight crews, cabin crews, and engineers. It specifies minimum standards for items like crew composition, qualifications, experience, training, duty times, and rest periods. The revisions update age limits, introduce new qualifications for operations without passengers, revise pilot experience alternatives, increase required yearly simulator training, and replace some duty/rest time limits with a requirement to have a pertinent policy on duty and rest times.
