This rule ensures pilots can't simply jump from one helicopter type to another without proving they know the specific controls, emergency procedures, and flight characteristics of the AW169. It's a safety measure to prevent accidents caused by unfamiliarity with the aircraft.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nPilots, flight schools, and operators working with the Agusta Westland AW169 helicopter in Australian airspace."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169","history":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-171-15-prescription-of-aircraft-and-rating-agusta-westland-aw169/documents"}}
