[Link] OPERATIONS IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH

The following guidelines and helicopter routings for day VFR helicopter operations in

Arunachal Pradesh, issued vide DGCA letter no. AV 22014/45/2011-FSD dated 4th June, 2012 and AV 22014/40/2011-FSD
(Pt.) dt. 14th May, 2013 are published for compliance by all the civil helicopter operators.

[Link]:

Since the area of sector lies in mountainous terrain, all Pilots are required to be thoroughly proficient in hill Operation.
Therefore, it is essential that all Pilots follow the instructions as laid down in the relevant CAR and other instructions on the
subject in order to ensure that flight safety is not compromised and the task accomplishment is enhanced.

In view of the past experience of flying carried out in the hilly sectors, the operator must have their standard operating
procedures for each helipad, duly revised periodically.

[Link] CONDITIONS:

The following points are to be strictly adhered to:

a)All Helicopter operations in the valley are to be in VFR conditions only.

b)All the routings are to be on the right side of the valley at a designated altitude.

c)Owing to the constraints of the terrain, no alternate routes are feasible in most of the valleys.

d)Most of the valleys have Indian Air Force element which provides current weather and VHF communication cover on
123.5 MHz.

e)Most of the helipads are located on either side of the valley.

[Link] Serviceability: Helicopter is fully serviceable and should avoid launching it without equipment/avionics as per
MEL approved. ELT and its serviceability should be checked periodically and proper record maintained.

[Link] Activation: The helipad(s) to be utilized, will be activated with safety services as per their status approved by
DGCA and concerned CAR, before the sortie is launched to that helipad.

[Link] SOPs: Operators will prepare SOP for each helipad in Arunachal Pradesh in view of the guidelines mentioned in
paras above. Once approved by DGCA, the SOPs will be shared with HQs Eastern Air Command and Eastern Command for
the information of all IAF and Army Aviation units operating in Arunachal Pradesh.

[Link] Planning: Meticulous flight planning will be done by the Dispatch sections and pilots keeping in mind:

-Route-In and Route-Out.

-No Diversion in terms of Route, Altitude and Timings from the Flight plan once accepted by concerned ATC.

-Knowledge of other helicopters flying in the valley/over the helipads intended to fly.

-Contingency plan when encountering bad/marginal weather.

-Flights will be approved ONLY for VFR conditions and under no circumstance will the helicopters enter IMC conditions.

[Link] Briefing: All operators will retain weather record for six (6) months and the same will be produced for audit by
FSD/ DGCA.

[Link] Calls: Pilots will give RT calls at the entry/exit point of the valley and all prominent points en route. In addition, RT
calls will also be made when:

-Going for landing at helipad and on Finals.

-On Take-off from helipad along with intentions.

-On Top of Climb.

-Any weather phenomenon is observed.

-Crossing a ridge line or entering a different valley.

-Any other eventuality deemed fit by the Capt.

[Link] Monitoring: Irrespective of time of the year or season, all sorties into valleys will be monitored by responsible
personnel from

Company’s management till its completion.

[Link]: Should be resorted ONLY with the concurrence of Company official and concerned ATC. Each operator will
nominate the official who can approve diversion. In case of diversion because of weather, flight safety section of the
Company will investigate and report the matter as per its operations manual.

[Link]: All operators should ensure that pilots are suitably trained and cleared to fly in the valleys before they are tasked
to fly in Arunachal Pradesh.

[Link] SOP: Each operator should prepare their Company SOP as per the guidelines given above, including aspects
peculiar to them and not included above, for the helicopters to be utilized in Arunachal Pradesh.

[Link] OPERATIONS:

Helicopter Operation is essentially carried out in the Valleys of Arunachal Pradesh. The Hilly Sector is divided into Eight
Principle Valleys as enumerated below: -

[Link] Valley: Along Subansiri river, commencing from Keju La till Daporijo and onwards to DM range. Also, Kamla and
Kurung River which start from Huri/Sarli and merge with the Subansiri River South of Daporijo form part of this valley.

[Link] Valley: Encompasses Siang and Siyom River originally known as Tsang Po River. Siang and Siyang River originate
from Kepang La and Tung La respectively and merge as one at Pangin and thereafter known as Siang river till Pasighat at the
mouth of the valley.

[Link] Valley: The Junction of Ang and Matung rivers at Anini form Debang River at Anini and thereafter flow in the
Southerly direction into the plains at Dambuk.

[Link] Valley: Ngi Chu River enters India at Kibithu and thereafter is known as Lohit or Telu River and flows
southwestwards till Brahmakund where it joins the plains.

[Link] Valley: Noa Dihing River originates from Vijayanagar and flows westwards till Miao where it bifurcates into Burhi
Dihing and Noa Dihing rivers which further flows into the Brahmaputra River.

[Link] Valley: A River, not so prominent, originates from Tirap RF and flows South West up to Laju on the Myanmar
border.

[Link] Valley: Kameng River enters in Brahmaputra Valley at Baleckpong, North of Tezpur. This river originates from
eastern Himalayan Mountains of Tawang region Glacier Lake.

[Link] Valley: Manas River enters plains of Assam and flows towards Southern direction and join Brahmaputra on
Golpara.

All Helicopter Valley Routes and Procedures to be followed in the respective Valleys are given in the succeeding paragraphs.
