Hello gents,
Further to a discussion on another forum I am wondering if any of you in the offshore part of the industry have ever heard of a Sikorsky procedure for offshore operators involving the use of the rotor brake (engines at idle) .
Obviously the option exists but I have never seen or heard of such procedure (at least during my 5 years in the offshore industry).
I have hardly ever used it (once in 5 years)on a deck and so have most fellow pilots I have been working with in South Est Asia ( a brake slippage/release comes to my mind as the main reason for not using it).Is it a common practice in other parts of the world?
Thank you in advance for any comments.
Cheers
