Anybody ever fly shake blocks with a 500? Do you swear you never gave the ground crew a ride “on the hook”?
In Canada, single-engine Class D external load flying people at the end of a long line is done often for rescue. Yes, single engine, your EASA heads are gonna explode. My fuzzy recall is the single-engine helicopter needs chip plugs and an auto-relight system, pilot needs minimum hours (2000?) plus training. Approval from the regulator (ops spec) for Class D written into the ops manual.
