Coastal Oceanographic Helicopters
Marine survey helicopters are designed for operations over open water. Large inflatable or fixed floats mounted on the landing gear provide emergency buoyancy in case of forced water landings. Rotors spin overhead to keep the aircraft stable above the ocean waves while crew members track marine life and water conditions.
Ocean Survey Flight Characteristics
Special anti-corrosion coatings protect marine aircraft from the harsh effects of salty ocean air and sea spray. Searchlights and water-sampling devices are frequently attached to the fuselage during coastal patrols. Many marine helicopters feature emergency pop-out floats that inflate automatically within seconds if water contact occurs.
Colors of Marine Aviation Gear
- Fuselage: white or safety orange to ensure visibility against dark sea waters
- Landing floats: black rubber or bright blue synthetic material
- Main rotors: dark gray with white motion markings on the tips
- Ocean waves: deep blue near the surface with white foam crests
