That's a little vague old boy; kind of like showing up at a bowling alley and asking for information about 'balls'. Ask a specific question and ye shall receive a specific answer!

I'm assuming you are either starting out or have only flown VFR or Military. Do a google search on OGP and you will at least see what is required. Here's a couple of links to get you started. http://www.ogp.org.uk/pubs/351.pdf http://info.ogp.org.uk/Geophysical/reports/S1.pdf Cheers, OffshoreIgor :ok: |

Helicopter Operations at Sea
Hello bluehawaii
There is a book called Helicopter Operations at Sea - A Guide to the Industry by David J,. House ISBN 1 85609 168 6 Published by Witherby & Co Ltd email: books(at)witherbys.co.uk www.witherbys.com I have the second edition which was published in 1999. It is geared mostly toward HLO's, offshore and ships personnel and Naval and Merchant Naval officers but there is a lot of useful information in it which may be of use, if a little dated - references to the Westland WG30 and the Boeing 234 Civil Chinook for example). There may even be a later updated edition available. And, I don't think it was a vague question :rolleyes: Good luck AMCP :) |
Thanks amostcivilpilot.

Drilling ships look for oil and gas. Helicopters are used to transfer crew. Oil rigs extract oil and gas found by drilling ships. Helicopters are used to transfer crew. That's it basically.

Thanks Epiphany, for your explanation, I am intrested in the professional detailed logistics of the offshore helicopter operation.
