Bro no be boast, I was surprised at how sure you sounded or is it that what your ears wanted to hear is bad news at all means. God sha don do chopper levels. Na ahead we dey look! Things like oil price getting back to 100 dollars a barrel.

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.

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.

A helicopter fitted with inflatable trusses can land on water.

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

To clear your doubt. Please check out this link and see how helicopters deploy floats and land on water

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.

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. cheesy

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.

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.

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!!! undecided

Amazing clarification

1. 95 nautical miles = 175.94KM equivalent of Lagos to Ibadan (Owo bus-stop) undecided
2. “All persons onboard are accounted for and in the process of being transferred to a nearby installation." What type of installation is this? A military installation, medical installation, romantic installation, refining installation or rehabilitation installation undecided

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

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)..

Wow! 95nautical miles? That's far tho...That's like cruising in a Diamond DA-40 aircraft at a cruise speed of 110knots from Ilorin, Kwara State to Owoh, Ondo state..


And btw, Landing on water must have been an emergency measure...Something must have gone wrong during the flight..


Thank God no life was lost sha...Aviation business is serious business..



U sound like an aviator. Good

Helicopters like every other aircraft are fitted with flotation devices and life rafts hence why it could float
