Re Northbound Delays
Awful For Delays - Northbound.
Southbound isn't so bad - if the fixed-wings can get in, they can generally get out again (unless they go technical with the gravel off the runway). But if the fixed wings can't get in, then people can't leave the rigs because there's almost no hotel accommodation within several hours drive. (Again, Baltasound had more flexibility in that regard.)
Kees obviously flies in there regularly too. 4 seasons in one landing isn't a joke. I haven't reached the point of getting religion and chewing a rosary when flying in there, but I'm always paying full attention during every landing and I've always chosen my seat for proximity to the escapes. It's made better by knowing that there are negligible civilians on the flights up there, so I can be confident of the training (and emergency responses) of almost all the other passengers.
We lost 2 days of flying this week to Scatsta weather. Nothing wrong with the helicopters - the fixed-wings couldn't get in. It's Thursday today, and we don't get a Wednesday flight normally.
