9.11.2 High winds or adverse weather
In high winds (above 40 knots) or other adverse weather conditions, it may be necessary to have additional passenger and handling procedures in place for passenger movements.
9.11.3 Passenger control
A Helideck Landing Officer (HLO), (sometimes referred to as a Helideck Attendant) should be used to control passenger movement on helidecks. Alternatively one pilot may perform the HLO functions if there are two pilots onboard.
For single-piloted helicopters landing to a helideck with no HLO or Helideck Attendant, the heli-copter should be equipped with a loud hailer (external speaker) and the pilot will land in a position that allows positive eye contact with the passengers as they approach the helicopter.
When offloading or loading passengers with the rotors turning, the pilot at the controls shall engage in essential cockpit duties only. Not included in essential cockpit duties are the following: manifest-ing, weight and balance calculations or customer paperwork. Primary attention will be given to the aircraft controls and identification of hazards and passenger movement in the vicinity of the aircraft.
9.12 Passenger seating
No passenger should occupy any aircraft seat where flight controls are installed, unless the passenger is thoroughly briefed regarding precautions against inadvertent movement of the flight controls, use of crew emergency exits, and specific reference should be made to any switches or controls that may be vulnerable to interference.
Aeroplanes
If readily removable, the flight controls should be removed from pilot stations when occupied by passengers.
Helicopters
No passenger should occupy the front seat of any helicopter, unless the conditions below are met:
.
the cyclic and collective sticks have been removed from that seat position; and
.
the pedals have either been disconnected or blocked to prevent inadvertent control input; and
.
the passenger is thoroughly briefed regarding precautions against inadvertent movement of the flight controls in the pilot’s position.
9.13 Survival equipment
9.13.1 General
All aircraft should carry safety equipment and survival kits that, as a minimum, comply with local civil aviation authority or regulation.
. 2008 OGP When determined necessary by the Aviation Safety Case or otherwise considered necessary, the OGP Member should request additional survival equipment subject to the operating environment and appropriate for the geographical location and climatic conditions; for example, offshore, arctic, jungle or desert.
The capacity of each survival kit should be proportionate to the number of persons carried in the aircraft.
9.13.2 Over-water flights
Over-water operations require special considerations for safety and survival equipment such as life jackets, immersion suits and emergency rafts.
9.13.3 Decision to use exposure suits
Immersion suits certified for use by the regulatory authority should be provided to crews and pas-sengers for helicopter overwater operations in cold water hostile environments.
In the event that local regulatory controls do not address the issue of wearing exposure suits, all necessary details and requirements should be stipulated by the OGP Member.
These requirements should be reviewed and a decision made prior to commencement of operations.
Several studies and regulatory documents providing information on estimated survival time based on water temperatures versus survival time in varying kinds of dress can be used as background material for making decisions on use of survival suits. OGP Members should be able to access these documents through their respective Aviation Advisors.
