Landings in Sweden
Bladpitch.
Concerning the guy next to the hcp.
Due to the 76 having such low clerance under the hcp, usually we come down to a low hover, the co pilot ( in this pic, me!) jumps out and directs the pilot flying where to put the wheels so we don t break anything.
Did the same thing when landing on the railway tracks and on the rocks!
Not always we need to do this, but when it s an uneven surface........
If we cannot land we come to a low hover, put one wheel on the ground and load the patient as shown on the following pics from a training flight.
We also use NVG...See pic.

How do you find loading a stretcher with say a 120 kg patient up such a height...how do you manage this?
Also the goggles look like ANVIS 9s....how did you go getting an export licence from the US State deprtment.....are you government unit or sponsored? And can I ask is there any sort of civil legislation covering ANVIS with your civil aviation regulatory body?
Ta
. Still got the little RC Heli?
Hustler. Such landings as shown by G-LNAA are few and far between. Those crop photos have been collected over 6 years.
It's no challenge; the machine can do it (notar) so if we need to we do.

thanks rotorhead.
for the experience that i have . ( about 1000 hours)i thought i did pretty good landing on a platform with five inches either side of the skid but that one wheel loading shows me what is still to be learnt as a skill. inspirational!
great flying . congrates to the pilot

LUNAR - you crack me up mate.

Self loading cargo
Cant quite make it out....something Paxton Shakespeare. Sounds like a bunch of lawyers or accountants but looks like a recruitment agancy for leggy models. As an old bloke, can't decide if I'm more turned on by the chics or the helo, the latter probably.
Anyway well done Capt Hollywood you is a worthy contender to BlenderPilot for the best lookin' self loading cargo I've seen in a while.
In response to bellsux's question, your very soul me thinks!
