Heliport
"Casanova estimated that the National Transportation and Safety Board investigates about 10 helicopter crashes a year in the Gulf of Mexico".
As a North sea oil support Capt I find this situation criminal.
For christ's sake the oil companies are printing money and the fact that these mega companies are on one hand providing IFR rated and trained crews with the proper aircraft for the enviroment encountered in some countries and then on the other hand put their workers in single engined VFR a/c and send them out to sea is in my opinion shows their complete disregard for the lives of workers.
Make a stand or become a statistic your choice.
My sincere condolences to all lost and effected.
FAA
must mean For Allowing Accidents
