ad84ada: Brah forget that thing. At best $70. Maybe in 2018 upwards you may see anything north of 70. If it ever goes that high again, the Shale drillers will get back to business and we will be right back where we are now. Boom and Bust Cycle. |

holamiday: Some people believe insulting people shows how smart they are. They are usually insecure people ignore them. You asked a valid question. |

[quote author=holamiday post=42584623]I don't get. This explanation is a total sham. A complete scam. An uttter charade. There is no such thing as a water landing for an aircraft that does not have capabilities to land on water. A regular helicopter lands on water, it sinks immediately. Maybe they meant that the helicopter crashed in the water and all occupants swam to safety. I think they should tell us more about the type of helicopter.[/ To clear your doubt. Please check out this link and see how helicopters deploy floats and land on water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHvMMKkCLqg |

EbolaParasite:Helicopters are designed to also land on water, itvwill be stupidbfor an aircraft that fly very close to water not to be able to land on water during emergency. |
Re: Bristow Helicopters Releases Statement On Crashed Aircraft by EbolaParasite: 5:33pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
greenpasture: Matter already settled. Everyone was just catching trips. No one trying to show smartness or anything. In reality, do you think that the industry will fly choppers over several nautical miles of water every other hour every day without ensuring that they can at least make an emergency landing? I mean, check am now. Anyway, I like how @holamiday took the criticisms jare. na good sports be d guy juh. |

Re: Bristow Helicopters Releases Statement On Crashed Aircraft by Nobody: 5:49pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
EbolaParasite: I don't really think insulting people's parents is " catching trips" whatever that means. Also regular helo's don't carry inflatable trusses. Before the last Bristow accident no helicopter in Nigeria was fitted with them, so his question was a fair one. I am sure a lot of the people insulting him had never heard o this device either. But to each his own standard of what's fair. |

It is called ditching oooo! It's okay if you don't know, but you can just come and say 'there's no such thing as landing on water'... There actually is. holamiday: |
Re: Bristow Helicopters Releases Statement On Crashed Aircraft by rule(m): 6:23pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
holamiday: please next time do your research before falling your hand on helicopters safety.there are inflate able float design to launch in the event of control ditching on the skid of bell helicopters while internally design to launch out on sirkosky s76. 1 Like |

Please if you don't know about these things shut up and stop spewing garbage here. These helicopters have floats that deploy if the helo lands in water. The briefing videos for intending passengers explain this . It is a safety feature. Effin reta.rds!!! holamiday: |

Keneking: A nearby installation as in, an offshore platform close to the crash |

holamiday: Oga calm down. Most of these people who write these stuffs are not aviation experts so they use wrong terminology. |

holamiday:hmmm...smh You actually wrote dis? Next time make your comment on a subject that you are conversant with. This type of Bristow helicopters have floaters to keep them from sinking during such an emergency landing. Bristow is right! |

Mr man. What you don't know you ask.... All statement made about the helicopter landing on water is very true. The same physics of ''Buoyancy'' that applies to a Ship, Boat, Vessel landing on water is same applied to a Helicopter on landing on water as a result of inflated side mechanism that is deployed on contact with water... This safety measure is achievable when the pilot tries his best to land the Helicopter safely in a flat position and not otherwise (inclined).. holamiday: |
