Regulation OTAR Part 125 - Complex General Aviation

OTAR.125.175 Procedure compliance
All operational personnel shall conform with the applicable procedures specified in the operations manual.
OTAR.125.185 Pre-flight action
The operator shall ensure that before each flight, information is available to the pilot-in-command to
complete the preparation for the intended operation and to ensure the adequacy of the facilities.
OTAR.125.190 Flight preparation
The operator shall ensure, by use of appropriate procedures, that no flight is commenced unless the
requirements of 91.190 have been satisfied.
OTAR.125.195 Operational flight plan
The operator shall ensure that:
(a) an operational flight plan is completed for each flight; and
(b) if the operational flight plan is prepared by a person other than the pilot-in-command, the pilot-in-
command is advised of the contents.
OTAR.125.200 ATS flight plan
An ATS flight plan shall be submitted to an appropriate ATS unit, or its designated agent, prior to each flight.
OTAR.125.215 Operating in icing conditions - flight procedures
The operator shall establish procedures for flight in expected or actual icing conditions if the aircraft is
certificated and equipped to cope with such conditions.
OTAR.125.225 Use of aerodromes/operating sites
The operator shall:
ensure that an aircraft is not operated to or from an aerodrome or operating site unless the operator’s
procedures have identified that it is adequate for the type(s) of aircraft and operation(s) concerned.
OTAR.125.240 Aerodrome operating minima – determination
(a) The operator shall establish aerodrome operating minima for each aerodrome to be used in
operations in accordance with:
(1) SubPart B, Operational Procedures, to Annex VI, Part NCC (and associated
AMCs/GMs) of European Commission Regulation (EU) 800/2013 'Air Operations'.
Note: The minima determined in accordance with (a) permit the selection of aerodrome
operating minima from through the use of commercially available information (subject to any
additional increments applied by an operations manual).
OTAR.125.245 Noise abatement procedures
(a) The operator’s noise abatement procedures for departure and arrival/approach for each
aeroplane type, shall be designed to be simple and safe to operate with no significant increase in
crew workload during critical phases of flight.
(b) The pilot-in-command shall follow noise abatement procedures unless these would have a
detrimental effect on aircraft safety.

OTAR.125.255 Take-off alternate
(a) The operator shall ensure that a take-off alternate aerodrome is selected and specified in the
operational flight plan if either: the meteorological conditions at the aerodrome of departure are
below the applicable aerodrome landing minima for that operation; or, if it would not be possible
to return to the aerodrome of departure for other reasons.
(b) The take-off alternate aerodrome shall be located within the following flight time from the
aerodrome of departure:
(1) for an aeroplane with two engines, one hour of flight time at a one-engine-inoperative
cruising speed determined from the aircraft operating manual, calculated in ISA and
still-air conditions using the actual take-off mass;
(2) for an aeroplane with three or more engines, two hours of flight time at an all-engine
operating cruising speed, determined from the aircraft operating manual, calculated in
ISA and still-air conditions using the actual take-off mass.

OTAR.125.260 En-route alternate
For operations beyond 60 minutes from a point on a route to an en-route alternate aerodrome, operators
should ensure that en-route alternates are identifed and that the pilot-in-command has access to current
information on the identified en-route aerodromes, including operational status and meteorological
conditions.
OTAR.125.265 Destination alternate
(a) For helicopters conducting offshore operations, offshore alternates may be specified subject to
the following conditions:
(1) the offshore destination alternate shall be used only after a point of no return (PNR).
Prior to PNR on-shore destination alternates shall be used; and
(2) mechanical reliability of critical systems and critical components shall be considered
and taken into account when determining the suitability of the destination alternates;
and
(3) one engine inoperative hover performance capability shall be attainable prior to arrival
