It is generally true yes, more so if there is a bunch facing in one direction. Not just one. Keep in mind, I certainly would not use this as a 100% guarantee. Causes less resistance on their body, thus why they do it.
Could you explain how this delivery system works? Do the residents do this collectively like every week/monthly and pay to fly these goods in. And how expensive is it? Do you pay buy weight or distance or both. Is this controlled by Pegasus or another business.
So far some of my favorite camera setups I've seen you use. Just curious, when you sling load is there a minimum AGL (or radar) altitude you try to keep (or use as a safe buffer) that you know in order to keep your load safely above the ground? Maybe you could talk about this (if you haven't already) Thank you so much for these videos.
Thanks :) I have talked about it in previous videos. But usually I have certain checkpoints along the route that I keep set altitudes. There is no radar altimeter on this specific helicopter. But we do have a few helicopters that do.
could it be that your airspeed indicator drops off on final approach because you give it a lot of left pedal input for better visibility and put the pitot off axis? going severely out of trim will affect the indicated airspeed by quite a lot. sometimes you go in sideways right before you stop, my guess is to have the load visible through the small window.
Not sure if you’ve covered in a previous video, but how many hours/any other experience would you say you need to get a job like this? Looks quite challenging.
Regards rushing, does your company have the contract for all the construction work or just supplying the heli? If so would the charge by the hour or for each load lifted?
I didn't have a chance to watch all your videos yet, but can you do one where you talk about emergencies like an engine failure while there is a load attached? Or could you point me to a video where you already talked about it?
