New EC225 Operations Manual
Airbus Helicopters, collaborating
with a working group comprising operators Avincis, Bristow and CHC, has
published a new flight crew operations manual 
(FCOM) for the EC225 heavy-twin helicopter. The
FCOM is a mission manual full of practical guidance for the best use of
automation and crew coordination as a supplement to the standard certification
material found in the aircraft flight manual (AFM). The publication merges
procedures that were originally optional into more practical standard
procedures, such as the Category A takeoff procedure for an offshore mission.
Instructions for arming the emergency flotation gear are now integrated into the
FCOM and not provided as a supplement in the rear of the AFM. Crew work sharing
during takeoff also is more clearly explained in the FCOM, which also includes a
table highlighting autopilot mode combinations that are not recommended
for use aboard the EC225. There is now a FCOM for each model, type of mission
and configuration.
