. Under no circumstances should the controls of a helicopter be left unattended while either engines are running or rotors are turning.
. Exceptionally one pilot may be utilised for “non-hostile” operations provided the aircraft is certified for single pilot operations and performance/requirements dictate. All cases of proposed single pilot operation should be referred to the Aviation Advisor.
5.5.1 Two pilot operations
Two pilot operations will always be required for:
. IFR or night operations.
. Operations into an offshore “hostile” environment as defined in Appendix 6 – 2.3.
. Where the maximum approved passenger seating configuration is more than nine (9).
5.5.2 Single pilot operations
Where aircraft are certified for single pilot operations and in the view of the OGP Member’s Aviation Advisor are practical, then this mode of operation will be considered. Among the factors affecting the decision are:
. Workload.
. Flight Conditions.
. Whether flights are conducted by day or night.
. Whether flights are conducted under Instrument Flight Rules.
. Traffic density.
. Aircraft equipment (and the interface with approach and en-route aids) and whether an opera-tive approved autopilot system is fitted.
. Length and nature of intended flights.
5.6 Flight & duty time
5.6.1 Limits
Limits are normally imposed upon the amount of flying time, total hours of duty, and mandatory rest requirements by the regulatory authorities.
Unless more stringent limits are imposed by regulatory authorities, the limits listed in this Guide should apply for both flight and duty time.
