Deployment opportunities were compromised due to poor flying conditions (weather) as well as, at some occasions, due to inefficient flight scheduling. Scientific deployment plan was not fully reflected in Service Level Agreement. Standard Operating Procedures for ice-floe work via helicopter makes t...
