Max number of passengers 703 helicopter

[sarbee]

Throwing this out to the forum. Max number of passengers able to be carried 703 Air Taxi in single or twin engine helicopters?

Looking at CARS I can only find reference to more than 9 passengers being carried in a single engine helicopter (723.24), but no reference to carrying more than 9 passengers in a twin engine helicopter under 703.

Thanks in advance for replies!

..... unless you have the Ops Spec to carry more.

Most 703 Bell 205/212(VFR only)/214B folks have this addition to their AOC. 14/14/15 respectively.

And a slight correction:

703 = 9 max
704 = 19 max
705 = 20+

Grandfathered, my understanding is new operators are limited to 9, otherwise all the c208/otter guys would run more
