In that case OIMS should have put a stop to it
You think?
You'll remember it was a VFR operation, so some questions may be in order.
1. What planning did crews undertake to ensure VMC was possible?
2. How often were you required to shutdown offshore due weather?
3. What plan of action did you have in the event of finding yourself single engine and everything onshore socked?
4. How much time did you build flying IMC in those so called VMC conditions?
5. What was the lowest height at which you flew enroute and were IMC?
6. How low did you get in IMC to find a platform?
