Sikorsky’s ongoing total S-92 product improvement program emphasizes the offshore oil and gas mission, focusing on areas of availability, capability and safety, according to Spencer Elani, Sikorsky’s S-92 program manager.

While the aircraft is operated by a wide range of industries, from head of state to utility and search-and-rescue (SAR), the offshore market currently constitutes 60 percent of the S-92 fleet. As of October 1, the worldwide S-92 fleet consists of 147 aircraft in service that have accumulated more than 340,000 flight hours since the helicopter became operational in 2004. Availability rate for offshore operations has gone from 92 percent in 2009 to a current rate of 96 percent.
