2.2.11 The U.S. regulations require that helicopters flown over water in passenger.carrying operations must simply be equipped with flotation devices.
2.3.4.1 b) The U.S. has no requirement that a point of no return (PNR) be determined.
2.3.4.3 The U.S. has no related requirement for the use of on.shore versus off.shore alternate heliports.
2.3.6.2 b) The requirement for fuel reserves for VFR operations is 20 minutes at normal cruise speed.
2.3.6.3.1 There is no U.S. requirement for maintenance of a specific altitude above a destination. In addition, the U.S. requirement is based on normal cruise speed, not holding speed, and provides for a single, 30.minute reserve.
2.3.6.3.2 There is no requirement for maintenance of a specific altitude above an alternate. In addition, the requirement is based on normal cruise speed, no holding speed, and provides for a single, 30.minute reserve.
2.3.6.3.3 The U.S. has no related requirement. If the destination weather so requires, an alternate must be specified and a 30.minute fuel reserve carried.
Chapter 3 Helicopter Performance Operating Limitations

Chapter 4 Helicopter Instruments, Equipment and Flight Documents
4.3.3.1 and Recommenda-tion 4.3.3.2 The U.S. requires that multi.engine, turbine.powered rotorcraft having a passenger seating configuration of 20 or more seats be equipped with one or more flight recorders. In addition, multi.engine, turbine.powered rotorcraft, brought onto the U.S. register after 1 October 1991 having a passenger seating configuration of 10 to 19 seats must have one or more flight recorders.
4.3.5 The U.S. requires cockpit voice recorders in all multi.engine, turbine.powered rotorcraft having a passenger seating configuration of 20 or more seats and in all multi.engine, turbine.powered rotorcraft having a passenger seating configuration of six or more and for which two pilots are required by certification or operating rules.
4.5.1 U.S. regulations require that helicopters flown over water in passenger.carrying operations must simply be equipped with flotation devices.
4.5.2.1 Life rafts and pyrotechnic signaling devices are only required for extended over.water operations; that is, with respect to helicopters, an operation over water at a horizontal distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the nearest shoreline and more than 50 nautical miles from an off.shore heliport structure.
4.7 (all) The U.S. does not require rotorcraft to carry emergency locator transmitters.
4.11.1 c) The U.S. requires only one landing light for operations conducted at night for hire.
4.15 U.S. regulations do not require that all helicopters be equipped with pressure.altitude reporting transponders. The U.S. requirement for pressure.altitude reporting transponders depends on the specific airspace in which helicopters fly.
Chapter 6 Helicopter Maintenance
6.3 There is no comparable requirement in U.S. regulations for training in knowledge and skills related to human performance.
Chapter 7 Helicopter Flight Crew
7.4.1 Recency of experience need not be in the same type of helicopter.
7.4.2 Recency of experience need not be in the same type of helicopter.
7.4.3.3 There is no U.S. equivalent for nonscheduled, commercial helicopter operations.
7.5 The U.S. has no related requirement.
Chapter 11 Security

Chapter 2 Flight Operations
2.3.1 b), c), d), and e The U.S. has no related requirement.
2.3.2 The U.S. has no related requirement.
2.6.2.1 A destination alternate heliport is not required when the weather at the heliport of intended landing is forecast to have a ceiling of at least 2,000 feet and a visibility of at least 3 miles. In addition, standard alternate heliport minima are prescribed as follows: 600.foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility are prescribed for precision approaches, and 800.foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility for non.precision approaches.
2.6.2.2 The forecast period for the destination heliport is from 1 hour before to 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival. In addition, the minima for ceiling/visibility at the heliport of intended landing are 2,000 feet and 3 miles; that is, when at least such minima exist, no alternate heliport is required.
