2.1 Helicopters shall operate on specified VFR Routes

2.2 During Special VFR conditions, these helicopter VFR routes shall be flown by pilots, having authorization in accordance with Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) Section 8, Series O, Part I dated 6th September 2004 and with appropriate instrumentation on-board.

2.3 Helicopters will be manoeuvred at a speed that will provide adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or obstacle in time to avoid collision risk.
