You said:
"Show us this "new" regulation.
You know how to copy and paste.'
So I did!
'"(ss) Section 135.209(b) of this chapter
Applies to powered-lift with the performance capability, as provided in
the Aircraft Flight Manual, for the entire flight to conduct a landing
in the vertical-lift flight mode"
So that applies to the Jobycraft, right?
Those are two paragraphs from a table at this URL:
<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-L/part-194>
Search for "reserve" and the 7th instance will bring you right to it.
"No person may begin a flight operation in a helicopter under VFR
unless, considering wind and forecast weather conditions, it has enough
fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal
cruising fuel consumption, to fly after that for at least 20 minutes."
And here's that URL:
<https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/section-135.209#p-135.209(b)>
Oh, and other paragraphs in there explain that an operator can
"designate" "suitable landing areas" in addition to the intended
destination of the flight.
IOW, every helipad in the area.'
And then you replied:
'Sorry... discussion has ended, since author could not follow instructions.'
LOL!
