EC 130 sling ops
Greetings all,
Just after some feedback on sling operations on the 130 thanks.
I would imagine lifting must be a better vert ref from the left seat, vs say the 350 from the right?
However,it would also seem a large change of view from head out the door, back to the check the (usual) position of the VEMD for the FLI ?
We are not planning a great deal of sling work, just the occasional lifting with a 10m line and possibly the occasional fire-bucket. (And yes, I know the die-hards will tell me the B3 is the go. But we're getting a 130, so there!)
Eurocopter also seem to offer a few varients on the hook options, including a 1350kg option. Surely only applicable in nice cold climates? Doubt we could get 1350 off the ground in the heat we'll be playing in. Opinions?
Any other insights would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance. Fly safe.
