— the operator ensures that the passenger is appropriately trained and qualified on the helicopter types on which they are to be carried;

— the operator defines the training and checking programme for each helicopter type, covering all safety and emergency procedures for a given helicopter type, and including practical training;

— the passenger has received the above training within the last 12 calendar months; and

— the passenger has flown on the helicopter type within the last 90 days.
