Great set of pics again VF Dai
Are you the only Jet Ranger pilot in Fishtail? I see you more on the Bell than on the Eurocopters.
Comparatively, are Nepali pilots there mostly AS 350 rated only?
If memory serves me right, that's the only Jet Ranger in Nepal except for what the military has, right?
Happy Tihar in advance.

Every good loader knows that the rotor babes go in the front seat beside the pilot. You soon get demoted from loadie to chief hangar sweeper if you stuff that one up.
And yes, it is always due to CoG issues.

Hey DoT, there's an SOP on that for sure (somewhere)

G'day SuperF no truer words were spoken ~ CoG = Calling on Girls for front seating (everytime, all the time)
SOP basics for all Helicopter loading
