ImportantFeatures: See item 18AC-00-ACUP for modifications/upgrades to aircraft.

Operating Considerations: This item includes an extremely wide variety of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. A careful review of anticipated mission types, payload, range, loiter time, and other mission-critical parameters should be accomplished before purchase. A thorough review of maintenance life-cycle costs should also be accomplished. For any used aircraft purchase, a comprehensive review of logs and an independent pre-purchase inspection are essential.

Aircraft should be properly equipped if used in over-water operations, including emergency egress air supplies for rotary-wing crew members operating outside autorotation distance from shore.

Aircraft working over water should consider emergency egress air supplies for rotary aircraft. Multiengine configurations should be considered for aircraft working over water for extended periods beyond gliding range to shore.

Consider fuel burn rate and fuel positioning/storage requirements.
