Description

This AC contains information pertinent to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 136 subpart D. The information and guidance supports air tour operators in the State of Hawaii and is intended to assist certificate holders (CH) and operators with the development of operational processes and procedures and the pilot training recommended as part of the application package for Operations Specification (OpSpec)/Letter of Authorization (LOA) B048, Commercial Air Tour Operations Below 1,500 Feet Above the Surface in the State of Hawaii. OpSpec/LOA B048 provides the CH or operator with authorization to conduct commercial air tour operations below 1,500 feet above the surface in the State of Hawaii in order to remain in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) and avoid entering instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) that are not forecast or reported. The authorization is not intended to be used in flight planning as it does not authorize a CH or operator to conduct a commercial air tour operation when observed or forecast weather conditions would not permit the operation to remain in VMC at altitudes above 1,500 feet above the surface for the duration of the planned flight.
