Another S92, eh?
Not a good time right now for them but that looked like shitty flying, not the bird's fault. |

I think this is the rig. Not something you want to fall of.

Found this pic. If they had lost that tail rotor they would have gone into a death spin right off that edge.

Clearly he came in from the left of the tower and cut it very close instead of coming in from the maybe 270 degree unobstructed approaches. From the waves it looks like the wind was also blowing back toward the tower.
Those people are very lucky. |

Looks like bad flying. Why would the pilot approach from the side like that? According to the pic already posted 3 out of 4 of the sides of the platform are completely clear, and he decided to try to land approaching from the bad side.

One of the guys I used to work with had been in two water landings. Spent a night floating in a raft after one of them.

According to the pic already posted 3 out of 4 of the sides of the platform are completely clear, and he decided to try to land approaching from the bad side. It is my understanding that the pilots always land with the nose into the wind. It is possible that the wind shifted or he miscalculated. We came close to striking a flare stack on one of the landings and an incident report was generated even though there was no contact with the structure. We were flying the good old Sikorsky S-61 Sea Kings. |
