Questions
Can a helicopter operator fly ag work without a Part 133 certificate?
14 CFR 137.11(b) lets an operator that complies with Part 137 conduct agricultural aircraft operations with a rotorcraft carrying external dispensing equipment, notwithstanding Part 133.
What does a congested area operation need?
14 CFR 137.51(b): prior written approval from the political subdivision, notice to the public, and a plan for each complete operation submitted to and approved by the responsible Flight Standards office. The plan must consider obstructions to flight, the emergency landing capabilities of the aircraft and any necessary coordination with air traffic control.
