What Does the Legislation Say ?
133.75 Crew member competency
(a) No operator shall permit any winching, rappelling, or human sling
load operation to be performed unless all crew members have successfully
completed a check or flight review to demonstrate their technical
knowledge, competence, and ability to execute normal and emergency
manoeuvres appropriate to the operation and the aircraft and equipment
concerned.
(b) Every check or flight review referred to in paragraph (a) shall be
carried out—
(1) by the holder of an—
(i) air operator certificate issued under Part 119 that
authorises the holder to conduct the check or flight
review; or
(ii) aviation training organisation certificate issued under Part
141 that authorises the holder to conduct the check or
flight review; and
(2) In an aircraft, in which the member’s ability to perform the
required manoeuvres can be adequately assessed; and
(3) Within the period of 24 months prior to the flight.
Minimum Hours Req’d for Ab initio Training,
Regular Proficiency or Currency Training between the 24 Month Check Flights,
Assessing Trainees Level of Accuracy During the Check Flight.
Assessment of Trainees Knowledge of Hoist Equipment, Limitations of Equipment/Aircraft
Required Hours Training Before the Trainee can Conduct Solo Winch Operations.
No approved Course or Guidelines to Gain a Qualification or Maintain a Standard.
