One of the MGB pumps failed and pressure dropped to 49 psi with temperature working it's way up to 150 degrees. Later followed by Input #1 hot. Situation classified as "Land as Soon as Possible".
Sea State 5 yesterday with 40-45 knots of wind and apx. 35 minutes to go before reaching the shoreline. The unmanned/closed oilrig was nearby and crew decided to land there. Sound like a good decision to me!
Aircraft landed, everyone safe, happy ending. All you could ask for!
Well done to the crew!
