In the offshore environment helicopters are widely used to transport crew and material from and to maritime wind farms. Due to unforeseeable and often inclement weather situations and challenging tasks these missions put a high workload on the helicopter pilots. In this paper two test campaigns are described which assess the utility of an affordable commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) head-mounted display (HMD) to reduce workload for commercial maritime operations. The HMD system was implemented within the air vehicle simulator (AVES) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Three missions were flown with experienced offshore pilots, performed in a realistic scenario. Independent subjective assessments of both workload and situational awareness were obtained. Results from the studies show that the overall workload for all missions decreased and situational awareness increased when using the HMD. Opinions regarding overall benefit and advantages of the system were found to vary between pilots and missions.
