Rappelling Rope Loading
 

Looking for test data on actual (typical) rope loading during rappelling operations in the field. Ideally I would appreciate data from instrumented tower descents - either as 'g' load history or max rope load/rappeller mass.

I have run searches in PPRuNe and obtained some leads which I am pursuing separately.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Email is not enabled, PM is enabled if you do not wish to post data in the forum.

Thanks in advance.

MMM?

Would that be single or multiple persons on rope?

I thinkest you seek to clarify some technical info not available in q-squared. Probably after overtime by logging on.

B456 or B801?

:rolleyes:

Of course the pilots may know?

Engaero - Please email me, I might have something of interest.

Si Click,

Tactical ops - single man on the rope.

Unfortunately the rest of your post does not mean much to me ?


CC,

Done


Thanks, guys.

I have yet to see two rappellers/abseilers going down one rope together, Si Clik - how would that work? Second bloke going down would need hellish strong arms, I reckon. ;)

I know one thing though engaero, when 4 of 'em go down four different ropes and then proceed to brake in unison, it makes for a hell of a increased power demand.

engaero - didn't get your email. try [email protected]

Thanks

CC/Stephen .... again .... done
