We work in a region where published rig GPS coordinates are often not very accurate, where rig moves sometimes go unreported, and where ARAs occasionally have to be made to a platform on the field periphery and then visual navigation continued in heavy rain to the destination.
ADS B is not an option due to oil company cost considerations
Sometimes the landing site name is not legible, especially in heavy rain.
Wouldn't AIS provide a valuable additional clue to assist the aircrew in identifying the landing site?
