Cameras
We have three cameras mounted on our AW139's for Saudi Aramco. One camera is mounted on the vertical fin looking forward. We can see both sides of the helicopter to include the baggage compartments. That was the orginal purpose for that one. You can also see the rest of the helicopter from the rotor head to the landing gear.
The other two cameras were designed for the cargo hook. One camera looks aft at the hook and the other camera looks straight down at the load. We are using the look down camera to observe our hoisting operation.
We can display all three cameras at once on the MFD or select one at a time.
It works well.
