Requirements for designation as a ‘restricted sector’ which requires
marking in accordance with CAP 437.
7.5 MOTION CONSIDERATIONS AND OPERATING LIMITS
All floating structures will encounter motions at the helideck as a result of a vessel’s natural movement whilst afloat.
The effects of any helideck motions (roll, pitch, heave, yaw, surge and sway) have a direct impact on a helicopter flight crew’s ability to make a safe landing and take-off from vessel helidecks. Additionally, when stationary on a moving helideck, a helicopter is constantly subjected to complex dynamic forces (accelerations) that will have a direct effect on its stability, particularly when the rotors are turning.
The effects of these forces on a helicopter can cause sliding and / or tipping which, if excessive, may cause the helicopter to overturn. Therefore, helideck motion effects and their potential amplitudes should be calculated during the design process and safe operating parameters established.
The limits of safe helideck performance should be fully accounted for during operations.
See Section 10 for further details.
8.0 OTHER INSTALLATION ARRANGEMENTS
8.1 COMBINED OPERATIONS
8.1.1 Introduction
Combined operations can take several different forms. Essentially, they are a situation offshore where there are two or more installations / vessels working alongside each other. Generally this will mean that, to some extent, the operational clearances and aerodynamics of the helidecks on each of the installations / vessels may be impeded in some way by positioning the additional structures alongside. In turn, this means that specific considerations have to be taken into account during helicopter operations.
