Discussion The FAA has determined that safety in air commerce and the public interest requires additional hazard mitigation for HEMS operations, and therefore has revised Operations Specifications A021 and A050 pursuant to 14 CFR 119.51. The A021 revisions specify that if a flight, or sequence of flights, includes a part 135 segment then all visual flight rules (VFR) segments of the flight must be conducted within the weather minimums and minimum safe cruise altitude determined in pre-flight planning. Specifically, A021 requires pilots to identify a minimum safe cruise altitude during pre-flight planning by identifying and documenting obstructions and terrain along the planned flight path. HEMS pilots must also determine the minimum required ceiling and visibility to conduct the flight using the revised weather minimums contained in A021. Revised Operations Specification A021 also permits HEMS instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at landing areas without weather reporting if an approved weather reporting source is located within 15 nautical miles of the landing area or if an area forecast is available. Revised Operations Specification A050 changes weather minimums for HNVGO conducted in Class G Airspace to be consistent with changes made to the Class G Airspace minimums in A021. The full text of the changes to Operations Specifications A021 and A050 are available on the FAA Web site and on https://www.regulations.gov as discussed above. E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM 14NON1
