Is there anywhere in the UK or close Europe that runs courses on Long/Short lines in R22 or R44's.

I am hours building at the moment and thought it would be a worth while skill to train in.

I saw something about it taking place in Oz in Pilot mag a few years ago but I was a fixed winger then and didnt take too much notice. (Saw the light and changed my ways) Im now interested in how the lines will be secured to a Robbo and what means of line/load jetison is used.

Is it an endorsement that can be added to a CAA or FAA licence or just do the training and sign off?

Any advice would be great

Pictures would be fantastic too.

Wanaka Helicopters in NZ do a lot of training in their R-22s with longlines and short lines.

Will see if I have a pic or two to post.
