An AOC holder must take into account the following factors when developing procedures for a helicopter to perform its intended operations safely:

the mass limitations prescribed in regulation 79;

the helicopter configuration;

the helicopter operating technique;

the operation of helicopter systems which may have an adverse effect on performance;

the pressure altitude and temperature;

any wind;

any environmental conditions which may have an adverse effect on performance;
