A S92 from BHS Brazilian Helicopter Services hit the antenna on the final approach to an oil rig SS60 at Macaé, Brazil this morning.

Still no real substitute for hands, feet and eyes when flying a helicopter. Wonder if the pilots were trying to comply with some illogical FDM mandated profile to avoid a call to the carpet.
If that operator didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any luck at all.

What's that big yellow circle there for, again? Oh - sorry I'm not aloud to mention it ,because everyone else knows better!
Any bets it gets blamed on a lack of a "Helideck Prohibited Landing Sector" Marking?
Just glad everyone is OK...except for, perhaps, a need to change undergarments.

What seat would you use if you were planning to come to a hover on the port side and transition right onto the deck? Anyhoo the Capt usually sits in the RHS.
A more pertinent question might be why they chose that approach path.

And that my friend is "The Elephant on the Helideck" to paraphrase the saying.
Just glad it ended as well as it did.
Amazing that there was not much rotation of the helicopter. Interesting damage to the port side sponson float installation. Wonder what caused that.

Only proper action by PiC was the immediate dumping of the lever to prevent the machine spinning.

The investigation will decide the reason for this incident. Did they have any malfunction while performing the landing is one question ? A landing offshore is based on visual clues. In this case flight path was not normal as for a helideck landing. Seems like the aircraft hit structure and landed hard close to deck edge. Glad everybody could walk away from the aircraft.

Dude! They weren't even close to the Circle.....or Deck for that matter!
I sure hope they have a yarn to spin to the Chief Pilot!
