Some early starts come with a view like this. One of the quieter privileges of offshore work: first light from places most people never reach.

Positioning for a crew change off the Durban coast, winter sunrise on the water.

For those who fly or work offshore: what does first light look like from where you are?

BAC crew spent the last week of April 2026 on the AS365 N3+ full-flight simulator in France. Operator Proficiency Checks, instrument and night helideck currency, Category A profiles, and Line-Oriented Flight Training under deteriorated weather. All to IOGP 690 and BARS offshore standards.

The simulator is where emergencies are trained in sequence, under pressure, before the aircraft ever needs it. Recurrent training is part of shaping an active safety culture.

Thank you to the team at Héli-Union Training Center for the professionalism and support throughout.
