Offshore Safe Approach Calc 1.4.1

The Offshore Obstacle and Safe Approach Calculator serves as a vital situational awareness and planning tool for qualified offshore helicopter pilots, facilitating a comprehensive visualization of helideck layouts alongside relevant obstacle sectors present on various installations or platforms.

This application promises to enhance the operational efficiency of all helicopter pilots operating in offshore environments by delivering a detailed plan view that effectively aligns helideck orientation with wind direction and final approach heading.

Historically, numerous incidents and accidents have occurred due to pilots' unawareness regarding deck orientation, obstacle sectors, and wind conditions. This application addresses these critical factors, thereby significantly augmenting situational awareness (SA) during both the planning phase and the execution of offshore helicopter flights.
