Pilot embarkation by helicopter.
Vessels with a draught over 17 m are informed by telegram of the departure of the helicopter. This telegram must be acknowledged1. Once the helicopter has taken off vessels should keep watch on 5645 kHz RT until VHF contact is established with the helicopter, when the vessels position, course, speed, true and relative wind and pitch and roll should be passed to the helicopter. The helicopter pilot will confirm2 whether the conditions are acceptable and may ask for an alteration of course and speed.
Weather. Helicopters will operate:
In winds up to force 10 (55 kn).
When the visibility is in excess of 7½ cables by night and 5 cables by day at height of 50 m.
Severe turbulence or icing below 50 m may also cause the service to be withdrawn3.
Other vessels may embark their pilots by helicopter. The procedure is entirely4 handled on VHF. Transfer positions, shown on chart are to the N of Maas West TSS5 and either side of Maas West Inner TSS.
