Today Yachts and Super Yachts are more often than not equipped with helipads or helidecks in order to meet the needs and desires of the owner. Operating these pads and decks on moving multi million dollar platforms where style and aesthetic display is of essence, is demanding for Yacht crews, who might only receive a helicopter a few times a year.
Norwegian Hull Club has acknowledged this challenge and we have produced a Helicopter Flight Safety Awareness Course for Yacht Crews. Duration of this interactive course would usually be from 2 - 3 hrs and is conducted onboard or at a nearby location.
The objective of this course is to gain & refresh basic knowledge on helicopter operations making your platform more prepared for the next scheduled landing or CASEVAC by SAR helicopter.
A typical agenda is as follows:
Helicopter, how does it fly?
Air Crew, who are they?
Yacht crew, who are they?
What do yacht crews know about Flight Safety?
How do we prepare a Yacht before a helicopter arrival?
How should a Yacht be navigated pre and during a Helicopter arrival?
How should we dress before a helicopter arrival?
How should Helicopter passengers dress?
What can go wrong during approach?
What can go wrong while on deck?
How should we react if something goes wrong?
Pressure, self induced or real?
CASEVAC by SAR Helicopter.
