Helicopter crashes on a Helideck may cause the fuel tanks / lines to rupture and spill Jet
Fuel (Jet A-1, Kerosene). This is a potential source of explosion, especially in the Helideck
drainage system.
Major damage can be caused by the rotor blades breaking apart, as they become missiles
(shrapnel) which are an extreme danger to personnel in the area of the Helideck and
possibly in a 20-30m or more radius from the helideck.

Personnel shall be evacuated (as soon as it is practical I safe to do so) from the helicopter
by the Helideck team.

Any means necessary shall be used to rescue personnel trapped inside the helicopter
The main power and fuel switch should be turned off immediately. However, in the event
that the pilot is badly injured, the Helideck team shall isolate the aircraft fuel supply.
Dry chemical and AFFF foam are to be used. AFFF should first be used to smother the
fire with dry chemical applied as a cover, to prevent ignition.

danger of capsizing or sinking, making rescue efforts by
divers critical.

If the helicopter is upright, the pilot will make every effort to keep all vessels from coming
alongside, because the vessel wash could capsize his aircraft. It is best to use the
FRC/small utility boat to ferry personnel off the helicopter.

Page 25 of 43
HELIDECK OPERATION MANUAL AND ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT

Doc. Number: TOS-POC-P&A-QA-002

Support vessels and helicopters s h o u l d also be notified to assist in the search effort
4.9.3 Sunken Helicopter:

If a helicopter sinks, it is possible for personnel to survive in an air pocket for a short
time.

If the wreck can be located, divers are to check for survivors and assist in the recovery of
the wreck where possible.

4.10 Hover Transfer

It may be necessary to transfer personnel or equipment by a helicopter equipped with a winch


or from an under-slung hook.

4.10.1 Static Electrical Hazard:

The friction of the helicopter blades moving WET air generates a powerful static electrical
charge.
It is therefore necessary to discharge this electrical charge prior to the transfer of personnel
or equipment.
Allow the sling/strop/wire to discharge first on the deck I water BEFORE
touching it.
The HLO must wear STRONG NON-CONDUCTIVE RUBBER GLOVES AND A
HELMET WITH A CHIN STRAP.

Calculation of Application Rate:


For the Concorde Helideck with a D-value of 23 metres:

Application rate = 6.0 x π x r2 (6.0 x 3.142 x 11.5 x 11.5) = 2493 liters per minute. Given
the remote location of helidecks, the overall capacity of the foam system should exceed
that necessary for initial extinction of any fire. Five minutes discharge capability is
generally considered by the CAA to be reasonable.

Calculation of Minimum Operational Stocks:


A 3% foam solution discharged over five minutes at the minimum application rate will require
2493 x 3% x 5 = 374 litters of foam concentrate.
