<p>An FAA notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) would permit Part 135 helicopter ambulance operators whose aircraft are not equipped with functioning radar or lightning-strike detection to conduct IFR departures and approaches at airports and heliports that do not have an approved weather reporting source. However, the rule would apply only when there is no reasonable expectation of severe weather at the destination, the alternate, or along the route of flight. This rulemaking also proposes to include additional types of departure procedures currently not acceptable for use by helimed operations. Comments on the NPRM are due by May 10.</p>
