Special Federal Aviation Regulations SFAR No. 29-4--Limited IFR Operations of Rotorcraft 1. Contrary provisions of parts 21, 27, and 29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations notwithstanding, an operator of a rotorcraft that is not otherwise certificated for IFR operations may conduct an approved limited IFR operation in the rotorcraft when-- (a) FAA approval for the operation has been issued under paragraph 2 of this SFAR; (b) The operator complies with all conditions and limitations established by this SFAR and the approval; and (c) A copy of the approval and this SFAR are set forth as a supplement to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual. 2. FAA approval for the operation of a rotorcraft in limited IFR operations may be issued when the following conditions are met: (a) The operation is approved as part of the FAA study of limited rotorcraft IFR operations. (b) Specific FAA approval has been obtained for the following: (i) The rotorcraft (make, model, and serial number). (ii) The flightcrew. (iii) The procedures to be followed in the operation of the rotorcraft under IFR and the equipment that must be operable during such operations. (c) The conditions and limitations necessary for the safe operation of the rotorcraft in limited IFR operations have been established, approved, and incorporated into the operating limitations section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual. [[Page 170]] 3. An approval issued under paragraph 2 of this Special Federal Aviation Regulation and the change to the Rotorcraft Flight Manual specified in paragraph 2(c) of this Special Federal Aviation Regulation constitute a supplemental type certificate for each rotorcraft approved under paragraph 2 of this SFAR. The supplemental type certificate will remain in effect until the approval to operate issued under the Special Federal Aviation Regulation is surrendered, revoked, or otherwise terminated. 4. Notwithstanding Sec. 91.167(a)(3) of the Federal Aviation Regulations, a person may operate a rotorcraft in a limited IFR operation approved under paragraph 2(a) of the Special Federal Aviation Regulation with enough fuel to fly, after reaching the alternate airport, for not less than 30 minutes, when that period of time has been approved. 5. Expiration. (a) New applications for limited IFR rotorcraft operations under SFAR No. 29 may be submitted for approval until, but not including, the effective date of Amendment No. 1 of the Rotorcraft Regulatory Review Program. On and after the effective date of Amendment No. 1 of the Rotorcraft Regulatory Review Program, all applicants for certification of IFR rotorcraft operations must comply with the applicable provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations. (b) This Special Federal Aviation Regulation will terminate when all approvals issued under Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 29 are surrendered, revoked, or otherwise terminated.
