Description

The Offshore Obstacle and Safe Approach Calculator is a situational awareness and planning tool that will assist qualified offshore helicopter pilots in visualizing the helideck layout and the relevant obstacles sectors on any installation or platform.

All helicopter pilots flying offshore will significantly benefit from this APP, as it will provide a better plan view of the helideck orientation in relation to the wind direction and final approach heading.

There has been several incidents and accidents where pilots were not aware of the deck orientation, obstacle sectors, and the wind direction. These variables are all covered in this APP, and it provides pilots with a significant increase of Situational Awareness (SA) during the initial planning and conduct of an offshore helicopter flight.

Offshore Line Induction Training

I have been a TRE on many different Helicopter types and been involved with line and simulator training for experienced and new offshore pilots in various parts of the world. This APP provides the foundation for highlighting the importance of obstacle orientation and wind direction. The ability to to enter 2 values into APP provide an instantaneous solution to the best and safest approach for any platform or vessel!

Wonderful Planning Tool

This app greatly improves the pilot’s Situational awareness and confidence.
Enhances safety and fosters good practices if used accordingly.
Great idea to create an app that uses existing technology and data to help offshore pilots plan their approaches.
