Re: exhaust odor

Mark,
Your problem is not unique.  The program I work for had a similar problem
years ago.  Many people were claiming they became sick because of the fumes.
When we are flying into our helipad, our communications specialist notifies
engineering and part of the ventilation system is shut off until we either
take off again (we do hot offloads usually and then reposition to our
hangar)  or shut down.
It has seemed to take care of the problem for us.
Fly safe,
Debra
