Underslung Load 'Incidents'
As part of my job in supporting aircrew training with USL training, I wish is to bring home to my audience:
The importance of CRM both for the crew and ground handling parties,
Good Load'
Pre-and post use checks
Adherence to USLCs
That 'niggling feeling' you had which averted potential disaster etc.
Anything else!
To help me, I'd be really grateful for any meaty USL stories which have remained etched in your collective memories over the passage of time. I'm particularly interested in geometric lock occurrences (strop twisted on SACRU, bill opens, load detaches) as I've only seen one documented incident of this. And, those occurrences which unfolded to your horror in pretty short order!
The more detail you can provide (place, type etc) the better, as it will help me contextualise relevance to the brief. You may wish to PM than post, but any contributions are very welcome - and thanks for keeping the thread on track. I know there are many of us out there (including myself) who think 'there but for the grace of God...' I want to help our new crews to learn from our incidents.
