"...with winds and waves exceeding 90knots/feet respectively...": so does this mean 90 knot winds and 90 ft waves??!! Wouldn't be hard to decide on whether or not to operate a helicopter in such conditions! Also worth noting 90ft waves would be extreme to the maximum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rogue_waves has: "Draupner wave (North Sea, 1995): The first rogue wave to be confirmed with scientific evidence, with a maximum height of 25.6 metres (84 ft)".
