Hi everybody,
in our company we discusse problem about how to get to R44 rotor head during preflight inspection. We tried to design a special ladder to get there properly. :O
I would like to ask you, if somebody had or has the same problem as we have and could give us some advice how to get to rotor head comfortable.
Or is there some company in the market, which produce some special ladder for R44 maintenance ?

Thank you for your help :ok:

Though could you not do the same with similar

You can get straight telescopic ladders as well, all that needs really is a section adding to rest on the fuselage.

Plenty of designs out there

Thank you for your answer, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Aluminium ladder with special ramp is the best choice. We are going to build one.
Thank you one more time.
