for oil rig landings....but would never try that anywhere else. 40 kt limit doesnt matter how many engines you have. |

In open Tundra for an example, little mechanical turb. Actually can be worked well. Issue at hand from the start. Getting blades turning without serious flapping while NR run up. Vice versa, shut down. Rotor brakes are handy when you have just one body two hands....

wind is automatic flying speed that increases takeoff and landing power availability is a good thing. Mech turbulence and other phenomena can take that away or even seriously impact power margins.
Rig stuff can be dicey especially landing with natural gas burnoff or turbine exhaust near or over the helipad, along with mech turb.
Generally speaking working offshore with higher winds than reasonable for onshore ops is quite doable given fuel reserves.
Go for it, have a tear! |
