Official CAP 437 – Standards for Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas

This publication, re-named Standards for Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas at seventh edition, has become an accepted world-wide source of reference. The eighth edition amendment is issued to address changes required within Chapters 7 & 8 to reflect current best practice in light of revisions to regulations and guidance resulting from experience and research carried out within the wider aviation fueling community. As well as addressing the need for standardization of training and competency of personnel involved in offshore helideck activities and the fuel supply chain, the main body of changes center around removal of Filter Monitor filtration elements from use and the alternative control measures required to allow their safe removal or replacement to eradicate the possibility of Super-Absorbent Polymer migration from refueling equipment to aircraft. There is also an attempt to standardize some areas of common terminology and methodology.
