The fatal accident rate for helicopter flying in the GOM is lower than the N.Sea and from memory virtually all other areas.
You are wrong, the accident rate and the fatal accident rate for the GOM 2003 was the worst of all of the offshore patches and was probably the worst on record for the GOM.
I have no figures for the Bell 206 v fixed wing but would be interested in the statistical basis for that statement.
If you need further proof of the oil industry records, visit the OGP data-base for accidents - world-wide and GOM.
I have seldom seen such a galaxy of false statements. Who are the
we that performed these helicopter safety assessments?
