Hi guys,
Question for you copter guys that fly IFR.
Mainly for guys flying to rigs but not solely.
During an instrument approach to a pad such as on a rig what visual clues do you have when making the transition from instruments to the visual.
Are gps approaches to rigs the normal now? Is there any sort of reference system for the tricky last part of landing on the pad? No sort of PAPI type system? Do you try for 3* path at a contestant angle?
Thanks for the replies
