Helicopter pilots looking for guidelines for situations not covered by checklists, procedures or operating manuals can now get help from a new set of standards called the Helicopter Pilots Model Code of Conduct. The document was designed to help pilots interpret ambiguous regulations and to provide criteria for how to operate their helicopters while minimizing the risk of flying.
The HMCC covers a wide variety of helicopter operations, from primary instruction to commercial flight operations. Seven sections make up the HMCC including general responsibilities, training and proficiency, security and the use of technology.
