Question
Hi all,
I am about to start my HPPL. I have always been interested in offshore ops. But how do you approach a rig? Fly over and the a circuit approach into the wind? Straight in or parallel approach? When and why do you use them? Any info much appreciated.
Thank you

Craig,
Have a think about walking before you attempt the world record 100m!
To even begin to describe something like this at your stage would be like explaining a heart bypass surgery in detail to a St Johns ambulanceman.

it is a fair point. But I was just interested in the methodology.

You’ll become familiar with phrases such as ‘sight-line- angle picture’ during your training for Confined Areas and Constant Angle approaches. Throw in a mixture of Visual/instrument technique and flying to PC2DLE parameters and you’re getting closer.

Welcome Craig to the take no prisoners world of Pprune. Had you said you were a bottle washer at your local and interested in the aviation business as a bystander the red carpet may have been rolled out.
