6          Exemption from requirement to use landing area of uncontrolled aerodrome

   6.1     Subject to the conditions mentioned in paragraph 6.2, for a landing on, or take-off from, a part of an uncontrolled aerodrome that is outside the landing area of the aerodrome, a helicopter is exempt from compliance with subregulation 166 (7) of the regulations.

   6.2     The landing or take-off must:

(a)   be at or from a place that the pilot in command is satisfied is a HLS; or

(b)   for a landing — occur immediately after the helicopter has finished air transiting or air taxiing to the place from another place within the aerodrome; or

(c)   for a take-off — occur immediately before the helicopter starts air transiting or air taxiing from the place to another place within the aerodrome.

Note   Subparagraph 6.2 (c) mentions a take-off rather than a lift-off for consistency with subregulation 166 (2) and paragraph 167 (1) (c) of the regulations. However, as the ordinary meaning of take-off is wide enough to include the concept of a lift-off, take-off can be read as a reference to lift-off.
