407 Driver
why do you think, VR is faster than mirrors? Have you ever seen the longliners with mirrors and i'm not talking about the special single load missions. A lot of rotations, self hooking into the load on some missions!!! Hauling concrete in high altitude,...
Nice to you, if you have side instruments. How much a/c have it doing longline?
Important as said by some guys is the length of the line, depends on the kind of the mission of course. But don't tell me you are quicker with a longline than with short string or direct connected loads!
Crewman? Hmmm, takes payload, get money and is mostly only a verbal interface with failrisk and misunderstandings! Better the pilot is able to see what's going on direct. But on some single special missions it could be good.
