Helicopter logic in the Shoresim is different for pick up and drop off of personnel. Below you can find diagrams and step-by-step explanations of the two processes.

Drop-off logic

Step 1: Prepare at port

  • Technicians prepare.
  • Helicopter refuels and starts up.

Note: Time is simulated from first start up.

Step 2: Fly and drop off

  • Helicopter flies to the first asset.
  • Technicians and equipment are hoisted down.

Step 3: Fly and drop off next team

  • Helicopter flies to the next asset if there are more technicians on board and hoists them down.
  • If there are no more technicians, the helicopter returns to base to pick up more personnel, then flies to the next asset.

Step 4: Back in port

  • Helicopter will shut down, refuel, and start up.

Pick-up logic


Step 1: Prepare at port

  • Helicopter refuels and starts up.

Step 2: Fly and pick up

  • Helicopter flies to the first asset.
  • Helicopter picks up technicians and equipment.

Step 3: Back to port

  • Helicopter returns to port and hoists down technicians and equipment.
  • Helicopter flies to next asset.

Step 4: Fly and pick up next team

  • Helicopter flies to the next asset, if there are more technicians waiting for pick up.

Step 5: Back to port

  • Helicopter returns to port.
  • Helicopter shuts down and refuels.
