5.2.1.1 Normal Operations
Follow the pilot’s instructions, as the pilot is in complete charge of the helicopter and its passengers. Pilots have the authority to refuse passage to anyone they consider to be an unsafe passenger. Provide the pilot or dispatcher with all information re- quested before boarding a helicopter. This may include your name, total weight (including your gear), your company af- filiation, and destination. Do not smoke on the heliport landing area onshore, or on the landing platforms offshore. Do not smoke while in flight unless you have been advised by the pilot that it is permit- ted. Under no circumstances are firearms, alcoholic bever- ages, or illegal drugs permitted aboard the helicopter, or at any location offshore. Persons judged by the pilot to be un- der the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be transported. Remain well clear of the tail rotor at all times. Approach and disembark from the helicopter toward the front or side of the aircraft. Under no circumstances should you walk un- der or near the tail rotor. In high winds or unusual conditions, the main rotor blades can dip below the six-foot level any- where around the aircraft, so approach and depart the heli- copter in a crouched position well below the rotor tips. Hold pipes, poles, and other long items horizontally so that they do not strike the rotor. Hand-carry any light items, such as your hard hat, that can be blown into the rotors. Walk-never run-to and from the aircraft. Take care not to damage floats when getting in and out of the aircraft, and when loading and unloading your luggage and cargo. Get clearance from the pilot before putting anything in the luggage compartment. Wear a PFD while aboard the helicopter, and do not re- move it until the aircraft has landed. Before disembarking, replace the PFD where it should be stored-not on the floor. Never tamper with CO, cartridges or life-saving equipment. Take a seat as directed by the pilot.
5.2.1.2 Emergency Operations
The following are instructions should you experience emergency operations during your helicopter transportation: a. You will be with an experienced pilot. Remain calm and follow the pilot’s instructions. You will be flying in a planned route and, if the helicopter makes an emergency landing, help should soon arrive. b. During descent, keep your seat belt fastened and mentally review procedures to be followed after the helicopter is on the water. c. Do not release the emergency exits or doors until the ro- tor blades have stopped turning. d. Release your seat belt. Helicopters are equipped with floats and will remain upright for some time, depending on the landing and sea conditions. If there is no danger of cap- sizing or sinking, remain in the cabin.
