NPRM To Allow Heli-med IFR at Non-Wx Reporting Sites
The rule is intended to increase IFR operations.

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.
