Since OGP and our friends at Shell have set about to make offshore helicopter transport safer, what do you fellows think? The way I understand it, this requires JAROPS compliance in addition to certification to the latest FAR/JAR ammendments. Through 2009, the aircraft must meet the 1990 ammendments; 2010 and beyond require the 2000 amendment standard.
How fast will this be adopted and to what extent in the offshore industry? Will we soon see only AW139s flying offshore? Seems a bit unrealistic!
