Pilots for AS350B3e in Nepal
The AS350 is a powerful machine but IMHO 50 hours on type is just not enough experience to prepare one for this kind of job, in my books. Never mind what FTA promises to deliver.
Don't get me wrong, not trying to belittle anyone here. Although I do not have field experience, I do have time on type with additional specific training in mountain techniques and longline, but that does not even get me close to qualifying for the task. As someone said already, the margin for error is zero. So true. This type of work is not for any helicopter pilot.
Know your own limitations. Safe landings.
