Your statement is exactly why I have written most of the new procedure guidelines, which will likely be adopted by the operators in the North Sea, and be adopted as the new standard you see in the AUS MOS.

Here is the SOAP procedure overlaid on your current MOS procedure...

SOAP

Note the differences? Well...there are none and the same offset is where most CFIT incidents occur...

Lest you forget, my experience is from a helo ops perspective, not bastardizing a fixed wing criteria for the procedure design.

You want to fly more often, at night and inclement weather, and NOT drive into the rig or surf... I can show you how to do that with a level of automation, right now, with what you have...

or you can continue with navigating by offsets using the weather radar for navigation? Keep expounding on your current situation and safety record...
