Same here! 😃

Im not sure. Maybe:)

The blue nylon sling is used to extend the whole long line so that we can deliver the load close to the tower. The tower is about 46 m and the long line without the blue nylon sling is 42m. With the nylon it is 48, therfore clearing the helicopter above the top of the tower.

I have the same question :-)

@@UpsideDownWash does that mean you loose the option to release at the bottom of the cable and can now only release from the top?

It is:) thank you :)

It's so they don't swing around when we're flying. Not needed but they take less wear if they are connected

da funker ikke den med utløser nede i kroken. da har man kun mulighet til å slippe hele hele linen og lasten fra buken (både elektrisk og med manuell utløser)

@@UpsideDownWash sjønner. For x antall år siden under Arbeidsuken i 9 klasse var jeg med i en uke og fløy med Airlift når de satt opp kraftlinjen til Ormenlange ighennom hjembygda mi (2006) . Var en flott opplevelse.

@@Sailor_91 kult:) ja det er et spennende ykre:)

we dont have a limit per se but we try to reduce it as much as possible. thats why its on idle instead of shutting down. the shutdown and startup provedure combined would only save us maybe 1.5 to 2 min compared to just keeping it running, and we use a lot less cycles this way.

@@UpsideDownWash Thank you I read you .....at the end of the year , it's not bad !!! Good job ....your helper is not so bad !!! lol ......

Nylon cause there wasn't enough wire. The tower is 46m and there is only 42m of wire. 48m with the nylon in the middle.

Yeah we changed out all the nylon ones we had.

@@UpsideDownWash Why did you switch? I fly on the west coast of Canada. Interesting to see how you do some things differently (...and better) over there. Cheers

@@kootzy690 mainly because of price. The wire i think is about 1/3 of the price. The wire is heavier, which means its is more work to handle it on the ground, but it also hangs straight down even if its very windy. The fiber line would move out of the sling window at about 15 to 20 kt winds. Also you can more easily fly fast in descent with the wire without the chance of it going up into the tail

@@UpsideDownWash fiber wires are better thanks to their light weight so, whenever your specialist works on the ground he can do faster and better because a 20 meter wire weighs less than 2 kg. I personally do aircrane work everyday and we use fiber wires coupled with a 10 kg hook which is enough to keep the wire away from your tail rotor. You shouldn't speed oever the 70 kts with a load attached on the cargo hook so you are safe enough.

@@tommiloudd3846 well "better" is relative. Fiber lines have shorter life spans and get damaged more easily. They are lighter yes. H125 limit is 80kts with underslung load. It won't matter if the hook is 10 og 30 kg if you have a 20 m fiber line. If you descend fast enough it will hit the tail.

then you very likely have the most profitable h125 operation in the world. very nice!

@Chris Sperling no bullshit! in Switzerland pace is really faster! different needs and reality :)
