Describe and explain how to mitigate transition piece size and configuration, nacelle position to the wind, evacuation hatch location and interfering wind speeds and wind directions, bringing down an injured person by an outside evacuation a. from a hub/nacelle to a transition piece by means of a passive rescue device setup, and (if beneficial) tagline b. from a transition piece to a vessel by means of an active or passive rescue device setup, and (if beneficial) tagline Discuss the challenges, methods, and techniques of evacuating an injured person from a transition piece to a vessel highlighting pros and cons of the following:
