PC1 Operations Offshore
Is anyone able to advise if they are aware of any operations being conducted (commercially of course) to offshore destinations such as platforms, rigs, drill ships etc and also to any other types of ships during Marine Pilot Transfer Operations, where the aircraft is being flown in Performance Class 1 and whereEmergency Flotation is NOT fitted or required to be fitted to the aircraft?
If there are any such operations being carried out, which particular aircraft models are doing the job if you know?
Additionally, for such operations to a ship, such as a Bulk Ore Carrier for example (such as a Panamax ship) where land on ops are being done, what category of helipad would the hatch on the deck be categorised as from a CAT A aspect? ie. VTOL, elevated platform, etc?
How about for land on ops to a smaller vessel with obstructions such as cranes?
If anyone can shed some light on this request it would be appreciated.
