Ensuring Compliance and Operational Oversight for Offshore Helidecks
The Helideck Audio & Video Recording System (HAV) is a trusted solution for monitoring offshore Helideck operations, ensuring compliance with Norwegian regulations. By integrating high-resolution video surveillance with synchronized two-way radio communication recording, the HAV provides essential tools for regulatory adherence and operational accountability.
Supporting Regulatory Compliance
Helicopter operations on offshore installations demand precision, safety, and strict compliance with aviation regulations. The HAV ensures this compliance by providing operators with reliable recording and monitoring of all helideck activities and communications.
Video and Audio Recording for Investigations
- Video Surveillance: Captures high-resolution footage of helicopter landings, takeoffs, and other helideck operations to ensure compliance with operational protocols.
- Two-Way Radio Communication Recording: Logs all communications between the helideck team and helicopter crew, meeting the requirements of §40 of Norwegian regulations.
- Regulatory Storage: Recordings are securely stored for a minimum of 7 days, and if deemed necessary for investigations by the Accident Investigation Board Norway (Statens havarikommisjon) or law enforcement, they are retained for up to 30 days.
Integration with Helideck Monitoring Systems (HMS)
The HAV works seamlessly alongside our Helideck Monitoring System (HMS), which ensures safer helicopter operations by monitoring key environmental and operational factors. Together, these systems deliver comprehensive oversight for helicopter flights, helping operators maintain high safety standards.
