I would love to have it holly say holly please give it to me holly

Remarkable initiative

Landing an helicopter safely on the helideck of an offshore facility requires a very specialized skill: preventing that parts of your helicopter that you canโ€™t see hit obstacles out of your visual field, based on the imaginary boundaries of an obstacle-free sector, assumed based on the relative position of helideck markings: the H letter and the aiming circle.

This app can be very helpful to ascertain the desired effect of the above mentioned skill.

Simple and Fast to use

Easy to make changes to heading and wind and see the big picture. Paper plotting got messy when things got busy with frequent ship/target movement. This was a breeze to make changes and updates to ship positions based on approach track. Way better than writing plots on paper. This app will be part of my flight bag every day I fly offshore.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We have completed a new update that will automatically calculate the crosswind component when the inbound heading is selected on the 2nd page of the APP. This will ensure that crosswind limitation is not exceeded during the approach and landing.

Wonderful Planning Tool

This app greatly improves the pilotโ€™s Situational awareness and confidence.
Enhances safety and fosters good practices if used accordingly.
Great idea to create an app that uses existing technology and data to help offshore pilots plan their approaches.
