Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you could help with a piece of information I am looking for. I am doing an analysis of evacuation times in an emergency offshore (north sea).
My questions are, in a developing emergency down manning scenario:
1) How long would it take to turn around a helicopter, i.e. from landing to pick up crew then take off?
2) What is the minimum time gap between one helicopter taking off and the next one landing?
If possible, would be good to base it on Sikorsky S-92 in offshore configuration with 19 crew, pilot and co-pilot.
Would really appreciate your thoughts. I know this is likely to be a bit of an estimate but there doesn't appear to be any hard data on this anywhere and although I have been offshore before I am reluctant to base on my own minimal experience.
Thanks in advance!
