GLS Night Pilot
I am amused by your feigned ignorance!!
I think you are getting mixed up between customers. You maybe speaking of Shell but there are other PHI customers who do require PC2 performance on their S76C++ and S92s contracted from PHI. They even observe take offs at some heliports to ensure compliance.
It remains undeniable that it is only the customers who are starting to demand improved operational standards in the GOM. Most older aircraft are poorly equipped and continue to be operated like a big 206. If the customers weren't driving improvements, the operations management would still be telling people that the 214ST production line should be restarted......like they did 3 years ago when asked about long range deepwater support!
