getCrewRestRequirements

Surface helicopter-specific crew-rest rules under Part 135, in both the §135.267 and the §135.271 (HEMES) regime.

ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

Helicopter Part 135 rest rules differ from Part 91/121 — and a HEMES hospital assignment runs on its own special daily limits, where the two-pilot flight-time step-up disappears.

Example interaction

Pilot asks

Two-pilot crew on a HEMES hospital assignment — how much flight time do we have in 24 hours?

Copilot responds

14 CFR 135.271(c): 8 hr in any 24 consecutive hours, with no two-pilot step-up — the 10 hr of 135.267(b)(2) does not apply inside a HEMES assignment.
