IFR cloud break procedures.
Have been following Rotorhead since last spring , mainly the Puma accident in Norway.
I have great respect for what you all do.
Can anyone please tell me when you all started going IMC ( IFR if it was planned and approved)
And then doing Cloudbreak procedure, for a better word outbound, rig ship or wreck?
I am guessing it is something that started in the Northsea Oil industry ca 1970?
Outbound stay VFR find rig, Inbound SVG go IFR and shoot ILS.
Then what?
Did they give NDB,DME on rigs?
OK , so we use WX radar in MAP mode, radio alt, EGPWS. And lastly the LNAV VNAV PATH based on all these sats , vor dme IRS. When, and how.
Basicly looking for a historic timeline for the evolution of North Sea and European SAR IFR approches.
