What's the price tag on one of these helicopters???

[Hbryant188]

@worldchampion1986 I believe the last estimate was around US $23M.

hi, what's the point of the net in the helipad?

[speede541]

@nzqi1 re the landing net, I had the same question and found regulatory docs requiring tensioned landing nets in the same guidance that discusses the non slip friction surface of the helipad. It appears to be required as a safety device to prevent the helicopter from rolling/sliding, and for personnel to grab ahold of if they slip.

who is the helideck team in this video?

[parmo4life]

i thought the only S-92 CHC Scotia had in the UK was G-CHCK ??? I flew in that today.

[sh4rn07]

@parmo4life this is a norway registered aircraft because the reg starts with OY and not G for UK

[underaquaflata]

That is not correct. The norwegian aircrafts starts with LN. OY registered aircrafts are danish.
