Review the Operations Specifications and the associated Operations Manuals of each helicopter operator licensed to conducted scenic air transport operations to ensure any minimum height dispensations are given in specific detail.

There should be no dispensations in CASO 20 for tourist - or any other - air transport operations. It is possible, however, that operators could read the current wording of paragraph 9.2 as approving such operations, and I will take appropriate action to ensure that the working unmistakably reflects the intent, which should be not to allow low flying for air transport operations.
