The austrian pilot was a friend of mine....flew with him on a few occasions.
Long line work, hum?
Hope that was not one of these "Sure-we can do this (although we never did it before)" things........
What did you mean with "the helicopter was not equipped for vr?"
When i do long lining on Bell mediums, the only "preparation" is to take of the doors...
Never could do long line (above 150 ft) with a mirror....
