Nobody will be wires-aware unless they are regularly flying in helicopters. Help from the ground regarding wires is too much to expect.
Terrain has a major effect. Here we have some wires where there is maybe 200m difference in vertical height between one tower and the next. If the wires weren't on the map that would make it a nightmare to work out what's going on in bad vis. There are at least 4 large lines like that in this glen and many more elsewhere. In parts of Norway it must be worse.
Has anyone ever tried ways of making other crew members more wires-aware?
For instance, if a co-pilot or crew medic spent a day with a power company flying wire checks periodically then that would bring a focus on the subject and an understanding of the way networks are laid out that would be hard to impart any other way. Power companies have an interest in helicopters not bringing down wires.
