Motion & meteorology for offshore aviation
System description
The ShoreConnection Helideck Monitoring System (HMS) provides motion and meteorological information, which is essential to support safe and efficient helicopter operations to rigs and vessels. The HMS data is processed and presented in an intuitive graphic user interface, and is designed to support Helicopter Pilots to make vital safety decisions before take-off, during the approach and while on-deck.
The data is recorded for 12 months, and can be reported, replayed and analyzed on board or even ashore using the unique playback and data export function.
The HMS system can be tailored to suit all customer’s needs and the latest rules & regulations depending on the operating area and flight frequency.
A basic HMS can always be expanded with many add-on options and also sea sensors to form a full Met-ocean system.
