Through your profile, you can also e.g. subscribe to your departure information, expiry date of own departure requirements and other useful information.

On departure, you are expected to do a pre-check-in (including approval of the privacy statement) via your MyDaWinci profile, so that you can use the self-service check-in machine at the Heliport.

You must meet at the heliport no later than one hour before departure. For first-time travelers, it is recommended to come even earlier. Change of departure time must be clarified and approved in advance.

When checking in for offshore departure or the return home, all large electronic equipment brought with you, such as laptops and tablets, must be switched off and placed in a separate luggage

Smaller equipment such as smartphones, smart watches etc. can be taken into the helicopter cabin and must then be kept on the inside of the rescue suit. Mobile phones carried inside the life jacket must be switched off from the security check at the terminal until the passenger arrives at the accommodation at the destination. When departing from offshore, the mobile phone must be switched off before the security video is shown in the arrival hall

All equipment must be switched off during transport. It is not sufficient that the equipment is put in flight mode

Spot checks will be carried out both onshore and offshore to check that mobile phones are switched off before passengers leave the terminal building

When returning home, each individual must ensure that electronic equipment is switched off and stored as mentioned above. After this has been done, it is not permitted to take the equipment out of the luggage before handing over luggage at the helicopter terminal on land or possibly after check-in at another installation where it is permitted to be used

Personal electronic equipment onboard the installation (PC, mobile, camera, tablet and smartwatch)

• Personal electronic equipment is only permitted to be used and stored in living quarters and areas approved for recreation and leisure without a requirement to use protective equipment
