8.1.6 In Command Under Supervision (ICUS) Flight Time
Pilots may log ICUS time, where allowed by local CAA. This time will be recognised as Command Flight Time in meeting the requirements of Appendix 5A, provided: 1) The flight time is logged while flying in the Captain’s designated position. 2) Training records and the pilot’s logs are maintained documenting each flight performed. 3) The Operator has a written ICUS training program establishing the syllabus and progression program.
8.1.7 Helicopter offshore night operations & training
A high degree of pilot training including cockpit resource management (CRM), specified night operating procedures, dual pilots and suitably equipped aircraft are essential for safe operations.
Where there is a requirement to carry out routine (or emergency) flights at night, then the operator shall establish appropriate training programs.
Only dual pilot crews should be used and both pilots will be qualified and hold a current instrument rating for the helicopter type being flown. For night operations Captains should, in the addition to the requirements specified in Appendix 5 of this guide, have the following qualifications:
1) Minimum of 25 hours of night offshore time. 2) Completed within the last 12 months initial or recurrent offshore night/IFR/CRM/deck landing proficiency training. All pilots will maintain night/instrument recency of 3 offshore approaches and departures, includ-ing takeoff and landing, every 90 days. In latitudes where night time is limited during summer months, OGP Member Companies may adjust the currency requirement on an individual contract basis for that period.
8.1.8 Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET)
HUET should be completed using an underwater escape simulator for all aircrew and frequent flying offshore passengers at intervals not to exceed 4 years if engaged in floatplane or offshore helicopter operations. This training should be completed in conjunction with wet dingy drills using emergency equipment similar to that installed on the aircraft.
The initial course of training should be scheduled for a minimum of one day.
HUET facilities should have the emergency exit mechanisms representative of the aircraft flown in offshore or water borne operations.
Where required by the OGP Member, HUET may also include training in the use of a ‘rebreather’ self breathing device or other emergency air devices. Such devices may be recommended where a risk assessment shows that a ‘cold shock/gasp’ effect will reduce survival times under water signifi-cantly.
All HUET trained personnel or their companies should maintain a documented record of the train-ing completed.
8.1.9 Single pilot operations
Single pilot operations should only be used in a non-hostile environment during day VFR opera-tions, and only after consultation with an Aviation Advisor.
Where aircraft operators/Company operations have single pilot and dual crew requirements, the preferred pilot progression is Co-Pilot in the multi-crew environment before progressing to Captain in single pilot aircraft. Then, back to multi-crew for ICUS training (see paragraph 8.1.6.) before moving to Captain in multi-crew.
8.1.10 Role-specific requirements
Types of role-specific operations often undertaken by Operator’s aircraft in support of the Company include but are not limited to: offshore, low-level geophysical survey, external load-lifting, seismic, and pipeline survey.
Due to the specialised nature of many roles required to support OGP Members’ activities, addi-tional qualifications and experience is usually required. The additional qualification and experience requirements for a number of role specific operations are summarised in Appendix 5.
External (sling) load operations
Where external load operations are likely to be required, this should be specified in the contract, with a requirement that sufficient crews for the cover demanded are line-checked in this role before contract commencement. Pilots nominated for external load work should have the competence check formally signed off by a designated check and training captain.
