PETRONAS CARIGALI SDN BHD SECTION 3

Page 15

(b) Monitor start-up engine No. 1 exhaust region for sign of fire; and

(c) Maintain fire watch, for start-up of No. 2 engine.

1.7 Communication Procedures

(1) The HLO and RO act in an advisory capacity; they shall not assume the role or authority of an Air Traffic Controller. On most installations and vessels, the RO is the initial and final point of radio contact between the helicopter pilot and installation/vessel. However, the radio room is often located remotely from the helideck and the RO has no visual contact with the helicopter. Therefore, to ensure helideck safety, the HLO shall be equipped with a portable radio and headset. He shall inform RO confirming that the helideck is available for landing.

(2) During helideck operations, the HLO shall have direct

visual contact at all times with the helicopter. Also, he shall maintain direct radio contact with the pilot whilst the helicopter is on final approach for landing, whilst it is on the helideck and during the take-off phase. RO and helideck crew should use only the official identification references (e.g. call sign and helideck name) whilst communicating with the helicopter pilots see Appendix 5.

1.7.1 Radio Operator to HLO Handover Procedure

(1) The RO shall formally handover responsibility for radio communication to the HLO when the HLO confirms that he has visual contact with the helicopter on final approach to the installation/vessel. The RO shall then maintain a listening watch in case of any incident which may require an emergency response by the installation management. When the HLO has completed helideck operations and the helicopter has taken off and cleared the installation/vessel, the RO shall resume responsibility for radio communication with the aircraft and continue normal radio surveillance.

(2) OIM shall consider the following when drafting and implementing communication procedures:

(a) The HLO shall be trained to use portable radio

equipment in accordance with National Aviation Authority requirements;

Page 41: PETRONAS CARIGALI OFFSHORE HELIDECK OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE … · Unmanned platform An installation where no personnel are staying permanently. Wheel chocks Blocks wood or sand

Offshore Helideck Operations and Maintenance Guidelines WW ALL S 04 014 Helicopter and Helideck Operations Rev. 0, Oct 2012 _________________________________________________________________________

PETRONAS CARIGALI SDN BHD SECTION 3

Page 16

(b) Any HLA selected to use portable radio equipment shall also receive appropriate training;

(c) HLA shall be instructed to have their headsets

switched to ‘receive only’ in order to hear pilot and HLO instructions clearly. Transmissions shall be made by HLA only in the event of an emergency;

(d) To avoid loss of communication at any stage of

helideck operations, it is recommended that at least one HLA shall be equipped with a headset

(e) The handover and general radio procedures

employed shall be designed using standard radio phrases and vocabulary to avoid misunderstandings and shall be kept brief to avoid unnecessary ‘chatter’ on the selected radio frequency; and

(f) The use of the radio during helideck operations

shall be confined to essential dialogue between pilot and HLO.

1.7.2 Normal Radio Operations Procedures

(1) When an Installation (fixed or mobile) is expecting to

receive a helicopter, one hour before the programmed takeoff time, the RO shall send a weather report to the RO onshore. For all offshore flights between manned Installations and vessels, the RO at the helicopter point of departure shall establish positive contact with the destination installation/vessel immediately after the departure of the helicopter. He shall convey the relevant flight details i.e. person’s onboard and estimated time of arrival. However, in cases where in-field shuttle sectors are very short flight times, radio contact with the destination Installation shall be established just prior to helicopter departure and be maintained until touchdown on the next helideck.

(2) When communications are established between the

helicopter and the installation, the ETA shall be noted and the helideck crew placed on standby to receive the helicopter. The RO shall be responsible for passing information on all other aircraft known to be operating in the area (e.g. any aircraft using the same airband frequency). The RO shall also be responsible for providing an alerting service until such time as the helicopter pilot advises two-way communications have been established with Air Traffic Controller.

1.7.7 During helicopter operations the HLO shall maintain communication with:

(1) Radio Operator

(2) Helicopter Crew

(3) Helideck Crew

(4) Crane operators

(5) Standby-boats

(6) Loading personnel

(7) OIM

(8) Passengers 1.8 Radio Silence Procedures

(1) Where no direct intercom exists between the pilot and HLC the appropriate hand signals should always be used. The National Aviation Authority has issued the Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) holders to adopt standardized flight deck/ramp hand signals for the safe operation of aircraft. Thus, to avoid misunderstandings, and potential hazards in the offshore helicopter operating, the hand signals requirement also applies to offshore HLC. The details of hand signals to be given from the HLO to Pilot is illustrated in Appendix 6.

(2) During perforating at offshore drilling installation,

Radio Silence is imposed-often at short notice. Landing and takeoffs are permitted during this period provided the following regulations are adhered:

(a) Radio Silence is pre-notified to helicopter

operator.

(b) Alternative installation within 20 nm landing point has been arranged to be available on R/T to give weather and traffic information relevant to landing point. Landing clearance will be given on request.

PETRONAS CARIGALI SDN BHD SECTION 3

Page 21

(c) In the absence of an alternative installation to

give the landing clearance, the following visual signals are to be given to the pilot from the helideck.

Flag signal Meaning or Light signal Meaning

a. Green flag cleared to land a. Steady green cleared to land

b. Red flag not cleared to land b. steady red not cleared to land

1.9 Unsafe to Land

If the landing area is unsafe for landing or if for any reason the HLO wants to indicate to the pilot that he should not land (e.g. undercarriage still raised) and radio communication is not readily available, the “radio silence” procedures signals should be used. As a last resort the HLO should use “wave off” marshaling signal standing on the center of the helipad see Appendix 6.

1.10 Crane Operations during Helicopter Operations

Concurrent helicopter and crane operations shall be forbidden. During takeoff and landing, or while the helicopter is on deck with the rotors running or being refueled, the HLO shall ensure that:

(1) The boom is brought down below the helideck level

either in the boom rest or is turned away from the helideck;

(2) The engine crane is stopped; and

(3) The crane cab is vacated.

The HLO shall ensure that crane operations are not resumed before helicopter operations have been completed.

1.11 Passenger Management

Passenger shall wear coverall to any offshore installations, prior boarding the helicopter, all passengers shall attend safety briefing (e.g. safety video briefing) on helicopter safety. All passengers are required to wear the ear plug or ear muff due to high pitch noise from the helicopter jet engine during embarking or disembarking.

1 REFUELLING OPERATIONS 1.1 Introduction

This section provides guides for the management of fuel at the helideck and the task of helideck crew for safe helicopter refuelling operations. All helicopter fuel supply shall be provided and sourced from certified and authorized dealers or agents.

1.2 Bulk Fuel Tank Storage 1.2.1 Specific Weight (Density) Measuring

(1) Upon receiving of bulk fuel tank offshore, the specific weight of the fuel shall be checked by the use of a hydrometer and a thermometer. The specific weight of Jet A-1 fuel lies between 0.775 – 0.840 kg/litre. The check must be conducted in an area well lit, protected from wind and rain.

(2) Take some amount of fuel, sunk the hydrometer

slowly and carefully into the fuel to avoid breakage or getting wet above the floatation level. Care must be taken to ensure that air bubbles do not attach themselves to the submerged surface, as the hydrometer must float freely.

(3) The hydrometer must be allowed to float 3-4 minutes

to allow stabilisation of movement and temperature. The hydrometer must then be pushed carefully 2 marks down on the scale and released. Once the hydrometer has re-stabilised, read the specific gravity. The fuel will creep up slightly along the thermometer so that the level indicated on the scale will be above the real fuel level.

(4) Look along the surface of the fuel and read at the

lowest indicated level to the nearest 0.001 kg/litre and log the fuel’s specific weight.

(5) Shake the hydrometer and take 2-3 additional

readings to confirm they are correct. After that, read the temperature. Note both temperature and specific weight as direct readings from the hydrometer.

Offshore Helideck Operations and Maintenance Guidelines WW ALL S 04 014 Refuelling Operations Rev. 0, Oct 2012 ___________________________________________________________________________

PETRONAS CARIGALI SDN BHD SECTION 4

Page 3

(6) Correct the noted temperature and specific weight to

15 degrees C by using a conversion table for density or by using the conversion unit for fuel density. The specific weight corrected to 15 degrees C shall be logged. The corrected specific weight must be within +/- 0.003 kg/litre of the specific weight, corrected to 15 degree C, which is found on the transport certificate for the aviation fuel.

(7) If the specific weight is not within the limits, the

procedures for non-approved fuel in the next paragraph shall be followed and the fuel may be returned.

(8) Fuel sample shall also be taken to analyze for any

water contamination.

Note: All care shall be taken with the equipment being used for refueling purposes and again bearing in mind that it is part of the life line. Tanks are coated internally with epoxy resin and should not be externally damaged as this could contaminate fuel by exposing bare mild steel to the fuel which in turn will rust and flake off. All alterations or breakdowns shall be reported immediately for further actions to be taken.

1.2.2 Non-approved Fuel

(1) If the fuel, as tested in the above paragraphs for

purity, water detection and specific weight, does not meet the stated criteria, it should be given a new settling time and tested at least 3 more times prior to returning the fuel to shore.

(2) The equipment and instruments shall be checked and

it shall be ensured that the tests are carried out according to the procedures. If the tests results still are uncertain, then another person shall independently conduct the tests. If this test also confirms the unsatisfactory or uncertain results, the OIM/Barge Master shall be informed.

(3) If the fuel and/or tank cradle do meet the specified

criteria, the following shall be noted at the bottom of the aviation fuel transport certificate: (a) Details regarding the fuel and/or deficiencies

with the tank cradle;

(b) The name of the operating unit;

(c) The date;

(d) The signature of the person;

(e) The completed original of the transport certificate

shall then be returned to the cartridge on the tank cradle; and

(f) The cargo manifest shall be completed, as well

as a label shall be placed on the tank, with the following information:

Non-approved fuel;

From: (name of the operating unit); and

To: (destination).

1.2.3 Sampling and Testing Analysis

Fuel sample shall be taken and analyse for contamination and water content at least once a day, i.e. before refuelling the first helicopter for the day. The following shall be carried out by the HLO.

(1) Flush the filling fuel hose (amount of fuel to be flushed

should be at least the total volume of the filling line) into a clear glass jar with cap;

(2) Collect 1 liter fuel sample using a clear jar; (3) Visually check the fuel sample for particulate

contamination; Note: If the fuel is contaminated, dispose sample and take

another sample. If the fuel sample is observed contaminated after taking 3 samples, then advise that the fuel is not fit for use, and log accordingly.

(4) Stir the fuel sample using a suitable stirrer; this is to

ensure that the fuel would be a homogenous sample; (5) Attach a syringe (minimum 10 ml syringe) to a water

detector capsule, and insert the capsule into the 1 liter fuel sample;

Note: The capsule should be placed near the bottom of the

jar. Check and ensure that the water detector capsule is not expired.

PETRONAS CARIGALI SDN BHD SECTION 4

Page 5

(6) Using the syringe, extract up to about 5 ml of fuel

from the sample;

Note: Ensure that the water detector capsule is firmly attached to the end of the syringe when extracting the fuel sample.

(7) Take out the syringe complete with the water detector

capsule from the fuel sample, and visually check for color change;

(8) If the color of the water detector capsule does not

change (i.e. remains either white or yellow) this indicates that the fuel sample is free from water contamination;

(9) If the color of water detector capsule change from

either white to blue (for white capsule) or yellow to green (for yellow capsule) then this indicate that the fuel sample is contaminated with water;

(10) In cases where the fuel sample is analyse as being

water contaminated, repeat the test 3 times prior to confirming that the fuel is indeed water contaminated/off specification; and log accordingly;

(11) In cases where the analysis confirmed that the fuel

sample is free from water contamination, the remaining fuel sample in the jar shall be labeled accordingly and kept for away from direct sunlight for a period of not less than 24 hours. The sample jar shall be securely close to prevent vaporization, contamination and/or spillage;

Note: Keeping of remaining fuel sample is required for

further investigation and analysis in the event of helicopter incident.

(12) The label should include date, time and name of

person taking and analyzing the fuel sample;

(13) After 24 hours the fuel sample can be disposed through the facility closed drain system; and

(14) Log the sampling/analysis result.

1.3.2 Preparation for Refuelling

(1) The minimum manning for offshore helideck, on a manned installation during refuelling, are one HLO and three HLA comprising of One ERT personnel in all cases and that the refuelling procedure is complied.

(2) Procedures for using the water detector capsules on

fuel sampling are as follows:

(a) Check the expiry date;

(b) Prepare a sample of 1litre in a clean, clear glass jar;

(c) The sample must be powerfully rotated to create

a cyclone effect in the glass. This will cause the particles to fall to the bottom while the water particles will be crushed into the fuel;

(d) Mount the detector capsules onto the syringe

and immediately submerge it into the sample; (e) Withdraw the plunger until the fuel have reached

the 5ml mark ensuring that the plunger is not withdrawn before the syringe is submerged in the liquid. If the plunger is withdrawn in air, humidity will create an indication in the detector giving a faulty reading;

(f) Any possible water droplets or “haze” in the fuel

will be absorbed onto the paper fibers, releasing and spreading the colour that will lead to a distinct colour change (from yellow to green);

(g) If a colour change occurs, it means that the fuel

is polluted with water and must not be used. The part of the paper that is protected by plastic will not be affected. Any colour change between the inner and outer (wet) part is an indication of the presence of finely dispersed water;

(h) A generally light pastel colour over the whole

centre of the detector or no colour at all can be approved. A light yellow pastel colour with darker spots or spots indicates that there are still some drops of water remaining suspended in the fuel that may be above the permitted maximum concentration of 30 ppm. Further precipitation, discharging and separation is required to remove the water so that the concentration reaches below the level of 30 ppm. Large and darker

Page 9

specks or a generally darker colour in the centre of the detector will indicate the presence of even more water in the fuel. This must be removed before the fuel can be used; and

(i) After any negative test, wet the detector capsule

to see if the colour turns green to ensure that the detector capsule was not defective. When carrying out the test prior to and after refuelling the helicopter. Show the capsule to the helicopter pilot on request.

Fireman shall:

(1) Standby with two (2) 50 pounds CO2 fire extinguisher;

(2) Signal the HLO when he is ready for refuelling to

commence; and (3) At first sign of fire. He will activate the fire extinguisher

and direct it to the fire. 1.3.3 Refuelling with engine shutdown and rotor stopped

(1) Ensure all passengers have disembarked from the

helicopter and have left the helideck.

(2) Fueling crew shall not approach the helicopter until permission is granted.

(3) All movements from one side of the helicopter to the

other shall be in front of the nose of the helicopter. Under no circumstances shall any personnel work in close proximity to the tail rotor.

(4) All personnel working under the main rotors shall

exercise extreme caution. (5) Remove the filling hoses in a manner that they are not

damaged; twisting or bending the hoses shall be avoided.

(6) Do not drag pressure connectors or filling nozzles

along the ground. (7) Dust caps must be in place as long as pressure

connectors/filling nozzles are not in use.

(8) During refuelling, the filling hose shall be checked for

leaks, the differential pressure of the filter monitors observed and logged, and gauges read off and kept under observation. If spillage occurs, all refuelling operations shall be stopped.

(9) Refuelling will be secured when any fuel spillage is

noted and not commenced until the spillage is wiped up.

(10) The fuelling nozzle will be connected and disconnected with the hose in an evacuated condition

Note: Use of helicopter radio equipment during fuelling

operation is prohibited.

Fuel Pump Operator

(1) Energise and de-energise the fuelling station upon signal of the pilot monitoring refuelling. Register differential pressure for filter water monitor and log the figures in Fuel Safety Inspection Form. The differential pressure figures from filter separator to be logged in the same form weekly. While refuelling, also fill in as much data as possible (helicopter registration number etc.). This will reduce helicopter on deck time.

(2) Continuous watch the pilot monitoring refuelling for

signals.

Fuel Hose Operator

(1) Take the earthing lead and connect to the helicopter for clip earthing, carry out earth continuity check and ensure that resistance is not more than 1 ohm.

CAUTION: STATIC ELECTRICITY

When two electrically charges bodies are brought together, a momentary spark could occur and this spark is caused by discharge of static electricity. This charge could built up by any form of movement which causes friction between solid bodies or within a fluid. Thus the flight of a helicopter through the air, the surging of fuel in a tank, the flow of fuel through the pipeline or hose and the passage of dust laden air across a surface could all create static electrical charges. This charges if not effectively earthed may discharge the

(2) Obtain hose from fuel pump operator and take it to

the aircraft. (3) Secure nozzle bonding clip to earthing point at filler

cap. Open aircraft filler cap. Remove dust cap from nozzle, and insert the fuelling nozzle.

(4) On instruction from cockpit, pump is started and refuelling commenced.

(5) When refuelling is completed, close the flow control

handle upon signal from the pilot monitoring the refuelling, secure refuelling cap.

HLO

(1) Ensure aircraft is grounded to an approved static ground. Every helideck with refuelling facilities, a bonding reel and clip is supplied and shall be available. Connect the clip on a suitable part of the helicopter before the hose is connected to the tank and only remove it after the hose has been disconnected.

(2) All bonded connections should be firm and made of

unpainted clean metal parts. (3) Once the refuelling team is ready, HLO shall give

signal to the pilot, refuller, fire extinguisher operator and to fuel pump operator to start refuelling .

(4) Remain on station until the hose is disconnected and

remove from the vicinity of helicopter, disconnect the aircraft grounding wire, and rewind it back onto the reel. The bonding reel is the first thing out and the last thing back.

(e) Evacuation and emergency movement (eg

Medevac) by Helicopters; and

(f) Helicopter use for man overboard.

(5) The following events that may occur near the Installation or vessel:

(a) Helicopter ditching near to offshore Installation

or vessel;

(b) Inter-installation/vessel emergency support; and

(c) SAR duties and contingencies.

(6) In addition, the following events should also be considered for inclusion in the ERP, in so far as they may severely impact flight safety or the use of helicopters in the event of an emergency response (eg an evacuation):

(a) Aviation fuel contamination;

(b) Obstructed helideck;

(c) Wrong deck landing; and

(d) Installation or vessel status changes with

helicopter on deck.

(7) Personnel assigned to offshore helideck activities and the related emergency duties should receive appropriate training and their competence assessed.

1.2 Managing the Emergency 1.2.1 Crashes on Helideck

In the event a crash on the helideck, there is a possibility that parts from the rotor blades may flung around and it very unlikely that the helicopter will remain standing in the vertical position. It is therefore easier to drag hoses around the helicopter. The shorter distance to the secondary firefighting equipment could be an advantage and using it could increase the effect of the firefighting.
