How to move a Diamond Drill with a Helicopter

For the last 2 weeks I have been working in a remote mineral exploration camp in Northern Quebec, Canada, flying the helicopter that assists the team in logistical operations. I decided to film the last Drill Move that i did in an attempt to put something together worth watching, and maybe it will be worth something to someone.
Diamond Drills are used to obtain geological core samples from hundreds of meters below the earths surface, and in some remote locations of the world, are moved from one spot to another via the use of a Helicopter.
This is not a traditional "how to" guide, but more of a "watch me to this thing" content.
As I mention in the video, I'm not the best pilot in the world, and some days wouldn’t even consider myself a good pilot. Irregardless of the way i flew this day, I decided I would piece something together and throw it out into the world

As a pilot with 50 000 hrs who helped build the Death Star for the Empire back in 86 with a 6000' longline I can honestly say this is a great video.

As a pilot with 1,000 ish hours of 407 time and about half of that long lining this is a good video. Dont worry about the internet haters. It takes a lot of nerve to upload a video like this. Great video and keep them coming. And please please get a helmet ASAP. Have 2 good friends that are alive becuase of a helmet and have met a handful more. Fly safe!

i watched a guy in a little 3 bladed machine lifting building supplies into a steep construction site once. I rode my moto up and watched. He had the chopper stripped out as much as possible and used a little wiggle move to gently move into the right spot. Was facinating. Really makes you realise those guys who fly the skycranes putting transmission towers together must be real guns.

This is what 🚁are build for! Love the work man, well done. Creating videos is not a 30 minute job. (Which very few people realize.) I use to work as the ground crew on long line operations in the Eastern DRC in Africa and also sat in the helicopters to be the pilot's spotter sometimes, especially when they were new to the sling world. It was some of the most epic times of my career. 😎💪🚁

I found with the four pointers we often put D rings on the load side and the D ring would flop over without correcting itself when tension is made and the whole thing lifts crooked. 13:29

Do you over-torque first? Does the machine latch the over-torque condition or can you reset it?
@bushpiloting
@bushpiloting 8 месяцев назад
Na, the machine has 5 seconds between 100 and 105% before the computer counts it as an over torque. Which might give you enough time to get you out of trouble

@@bushpiloting Hi mate, loved my few years bush flying but did the maths, and went back to being a chiropractor so I can actually retire one day. Started flying at 41, so left it quite late! Have a instructor ticket now so you never know, I can always take it up as a hobby job. Love your videos, keep 'em coming. Where did you train/first job?

People who play background music are trying to make up for weak content and make it more exciting. When you have good content like you have, you can leave it out. We dont need it and it adds nothing.

I don’t know the 407 specs but if you are operating so close to the limits quite often, is this the right helo for this kind of heavy jobs? Just asking…
@bushpiloting
@bushpiloting 7 месяцев назад
Na, it's all good for the job. If I were to just go a bit slower or burn off an extra 10 minutes of fuel before lifting a heavy piece, it would make all the difference.
