(j) 10 hours . . . Total longline vertical reference (VTR) flight hours to include a minimum of 2 hours of VTR training within the last 12 months.

Note: RE: B8.9(b) The Contractor may request that this pilot flight hour requirement be waived for a pilot under special circumstances; however, the waiver may or may not be granted. The Contractor should contact the Contracting Officer in advance of this need for additional information on this process. No other pilot qualification exceptions will be considered by the Government.

B8.9.1 For pilots meeting the requirements of B8.3 in a series of AS350 other than an H125 (e.g. AS350B3e), the contactor must provide differences training for the H125. This differences training must be given by a pilot meeting the requirements of B10.3.

B8.10 Pilot Training/Currency Option: The contractor may submit a written request to the OAS Technical Services, COTR, and Contracting Officer justifying the need to exercise the option to train an additional pilot during natural resource operations. If authorized by the CO or his / her technical representative (COTR) the OAS Fleet Manager will arrange for the installation / removal of the dual controls (See B18).

B8.10.1 When Government authorization has been received and dual controls installed, the Contractor may designate an OAS-approved H125 pilot as a “Pilot Trainer” for the purposes of training a second pilot who does not currently meet the contract pilot requirements in B8.9(f) or in the fixed float landing gear configuration. The second pilot will be designated as a “Trainee” pilot. This option allows for training of the second pilot in flight techniques for which the Pilot Trainer is approved. The designated “Pilot Trainer” and “Trainee” pilot must be specifically approved as such by the COTR prior to conducting any training operation. The Pilot Trainer must remain pilot-in-command (PIC) at all times.

B8.10.3 A “Pilot Trainer” must have the following minimum qualifications.

B8.10.3.1 Qualified (carded) as DOI approved pilot in the H125.

B8.10.3.2 100 hours PIC in H125 operations.

B8.10.3.3 25 hours PIC in the H125 or AS350B series in the landing gear configuration for which training is to be conducted.

B8.10.3.4 Hold a current Flight Instructor Certificate with a Rotorcraft-Helicopter rating.

B8.10.4 The H125 “Trainee” pilot must meet all the minimum qualifications set forth in B8 with the exception of B8.9 (f) requirements in the make, model, and series of helicopter including various landing gear configurations.

B9 Flight Crewmembers’ Duty and Flight Limitations

B9.1 Assigned duty of any kind must not exceed 14 hours in any 24-hour period. “Duty” includes flight time and ground duty of any kind. Local travel each way between the worksite and place of lodging will not be considered duty time.

B9.2.4 Flight crewmembers must be limited to the following restrictions which fall within their duty hour limitations:

B9.2.4.1 A maximum of 8 hours flight time during any assigned duty period.

B9.2.4.2 A maximum of 42 hours of flight time during any consecutive 6-day period. When a pilot acquires 36 or more flight hours in a consecutive 6-day period, he/she must be given the following one calendar day off duty for rest, after which a new 6-day cycle will begin.
