The standards must have been acceptable to Statoil otherwise they wouldn't have contracted them
Well hopefully this contract is not the same as the previous one which required 2 offshore AW139's and one winch equipped LIMSAR standby aircraft available and crewed during all times that the offshore machines were flying.
Or perhaps Everett has now convinced Statoil that he can do the job with one 139 and no SAR cover. He did originally propose quite seriously to Statoil that the SAR cover was to be provided with an AS350. It takes far more qualified and experienced people to run an offshore contract with SAR cover flying to legal flight and duty time limits than Everett can provide.
