Perhaps I am out of the loop but when did they change the requirements for flights into sparsely settled areas and emergency equipment?

I came across this change today 602.61 and am surprised on how the reg leaves the contents virtually undefined and ambiguous.

Content last revised: 2003/12/01 but it dosen't say which parts.

SAR in the AIP gives a more detailed list, but your right, it is pretty vague.

The new attitude at Transport Canada seems to be: " be as vague as possible so no matter what the operator does, you can tell him he is wrong!".

Enforcement is getting bored so they are checking to see that all "t's" are crossed and all "i's" are dotted. Might mistake those letters for something else you know, and that could change the whole meaning of what is wrillen.

Sorry, that should read "written".

Wouldn't want to get a $2,500 fine from the enforcers.

:roll:

I think their intent was so that they could accomodate with a wide range of landscapes that Canadians fly over. But in terms of coomerical operators, it would be in their SOPs, which have to be approved by TC. So the best thing to do when writing your SOPs is to be as specific as possible and follow it to the letter, you'll never go wrong.

The "Sparsely Settled Areas Order" (ANO Series V, No. 12) was replaced by Section 602.61 of the CARs in October of 1996.
