General Comments:
The purpose of the inspection is to verify that a specific location has been checked and is considered safe for
helicopter operations. The audit covers three areas:
1) The physical structure and obstruction environment.

2) Equipment; including RFFF, weather monitoring equipment, communications etc.
3) The training and competence of personnel employed in helideck operations and operating procedures.
The following Non-conformances were found:

Critical Actions (these must be addressed before any approval is given)
• Item
High Priority Actions (these actions must be closed out within 90 days. Operations may continue but restrictions
may be imposed)
• Item
Remaining Actions (these actions must be addressed before a full approval is given)
• Minor rectification & repairs as detailed in report
Once verification has been achieved, a "Helideck Certificate" is issued which confirms to Duty Holder; Helicopter
Operator and National Authorities that a location has achieved a minimum safe operating standard.
Notes 1 A response to this report is required within 28 days of receipt

(It is the responsibility of the Owner / Operator to inform the HCA of any errors or omissions in this document)
2 Helicopter operators are responsible by law (Air Navigation Order (ANO), Article 96)/BSL D5-1 2.1 to ensure that all destinations to
which they fly are suitable for the purpose. Certificates issued by the HCA for helidecks which have been inspected in accordance with
CAP 437 and the requirements of the helicopter operators are deemed to be an acceptable means of meeting this responsibility.
3 This audit is a sample only and thus does not guarantee the ongoing operability of the helideck or that the processes & procedures
associated with safe helicopter operations are being adhered to in all instances. The audit relies on information and evidence provided
by the installation/vessel operator and/or duty holder; HCA cannot vouch for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided.
