human (not professional stunt) to be towed by helicopter

Does FAA allow human (not professional stunt) to be towed by helicopter? I didn't get it from FAR art. 133.

Is it possible to do it as a part of entertainment show?



What do you recommend to organize it?

Regards,
Andre

What exactly do you mean by 'towed'?

Do you mean on water skis or something like that?

Andgol,

You're asking the same question here and on JH without even clearly stating what you're thinking off - "towed" in one post then "carry" in the next one. If it's "carry" then you're looking at Pt 133 Class D ext load regs, but if you mean "towed" that's something different.

You just have to look at the very few operators in the US to do Class D work within a commercial AOC- Columbia River Bar Pilots with a 109, ERA doing SAR with 139s, Cougar sneaking in with C reg S92s - to realize this is pretty specialized, needing high-end equipment, and not something you're going to be able to do easily to make a few bucks in Vegas.

Thank you.

Could you recommend me some companies which could privide such a service located in LA or Vegas?

As for you comment, thank, but it's not about money, it's about fun and challenge.
