Chinook lifting the HLH Airframe.....what a Chinook wants to be when it grows up!
For a twin type rating you´re supposed to do a little external load training.
Tighten the line, power check.
Pick up load, power check.
Take off and fly a pattern, put the load onto a certain spot.
Same thing about three or four times...
The guy on the skids is the flight test engineer....
All in all VERY professional training.

He was the nice guy to help out in the training, giving the ground instruction.
On the flight portion he was telling when line is tight, when load is airborne.
And telling me when the load was on the spot and to be released.
This was for flight training purposes only! New type and what´s assiociated with it.They do thourough instruction and leave nothing to be desired.
Usually ext loads are flown by pilot only of course.
