.
Carriage of loose articles in the aircraft that could present Foreign Object Damage (FOD) risk or impede egress in the event of ditching (such as newspapers) should be discouraged.
.
Passengers should be briefed on “NO STEP” areas.
9.5.6 Additional float plane briefing items
.
All floatplane occupants should wear an approved life vest when operating over water.
.
Passengers will be briefed on ditching procedures to include use of emergency exits, use of life vests, location and use of emergency equipment.
9.6 Video briefing
On long-term operations out of a fixed-base facility, a video briefing is recommended and should be shown to passengers periodically. If the video brief is the only form of briefing, it should be shown prior to each flight.
9.7 Multi-language operations
9.7.1 Translation requirements
It may be necessary to provide a translator for verbal briefing (can be a bilingual passenger) or pre-pare written or video instructions in the appropriate language (or alternatively subtitles).
9.7.2 Briefing cards
Graphics with international symbols or multi-language briefing cards should be used to convey briefing information to all passengers.
9.8 Passenger marshalling areas
9.8.1 Onshore & offshore
Secure waiting areas should be designated for aircraft passengers.
If a long term dedicated operation, written and graphic material should be displayed in those areas relative to aircraft safety and localised procedures.
The designated area may serve as a viewing room for video safety briefings and provide an area to weigh and manifest all outgoing passengers, baggage and freight on calibrated scales.
For all operations a clearly defined holding area should be designated for both incoming and outgo-ing passengers and freight.
9.8.2 Offshore
For all offshore operations, a suitable area should be identified to provide a safe passenger waiting area to prevent passenger loitering at the helideck or in the helideck stairwell.
An area should also be provided for changing into/from survival suits if worn, in order to minimise turn around time.
9.9 Passenger training
9.9.1 Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET)
Passengers who frequently commute offshore by helicopter should receive helicopter underwater escape training (HUET). The training should include water survival training using the survival equipment normally found on the helicopter being used. See also paragraph 8.1.8.
Refresher HUET is recommended to be scheduled at periodic intervals of no less than once every four years.
If survival suits are equipped with rebreathing devices, passengers should be properly trained in the use of the system.
9.10 Passenger dress requirements
9.10.1 Field, remote & inhospitable areas
Passengers should wear clothing and footwear, appropriate to the environment, regardless of the flight duration.
9.10.2 Hostile environment offshore helicopter or float plane flights
For offshore helicopter or for floatplanes flights over hostile cold water areas (Appendix 6) passen-gers may be required to wear survival suits.
9.10.3 Non-hostile environment offshore helicopter or float plane flights
For offshore helicopter flights or for float plane flights over non-hostile waters (Appendix 6), to improve survivability in the event of a ditching, long leg pants, shirts with sleeves, and closed-toed shoes with skid-resistant soles are recommended.
9.11 Passenger & cargo management on helidecks
9.11.1 Clear helideck policy
Onshore helipads and heliports, and offshore helidecks are to be clear of all cargo and passengers that are being off loaded prior to passengers or cargo coming onto helideck/heliport to board the helicopter.
