Special step - or dropping of a helicopter
Yeah, I knew that some of the comments were coming....
Never thought, that it could happen to me but it did and behind the hand other pilots told me, that they nearly ripped their arms of, slipping of and dangling on the grip on one arm.
And yes, I work in an regulation happy environment ....
Still, its not only me, who is getting older and the smal steps really aren't made for everyday service.
Landing that way, that there will be place for a ladder? Ever landed on a plattform, wet plattforms, frozen plattforms, day and night, with crosswinds?
You really dont want to reduce the smal Safety margin you have in Case the bird starts moving....
May be a short hanging ladder would do?
I let you know, which solution will be found, First the antislip painting will be checked on all our birds.
