When is a line a "long" line?
How long is a piece of string? I've gone cross eyed searching the regs for a description of a "long" line when relating to external loads. When operators ask for longline experience can I say yes if I've used a 100ft line?
On a similar problem of information shortage, my research indicates that with an Ag rating, low level & mustering experience combined with a sling approval I can latch on to a bambi bucket & start flying the fire line. It doesn't take too many brain cells to work out that this would not be wise, so if the regs are silent what is the industry/insurance company standard? Standing by for an inundation of wisdom.
