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. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...99/HKP35TK.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...99/HKP46TK.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...99/HKP55TK.jpg |

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 |
What a great thread - the resourcefulness of prooners never ceases to amaze me. Just click your fingers and you get pics that like that. Great stuff guys.

Looks like the G-LNAA boys are taking it as a challenge to see how many different things they can land in:ok:
|
Does he know the NVG works better at night?
Great Pictures please keep 'em coming. Lunar |
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. Regards, BT |
Bertie- That landing made me smile!! Well done!! where you far from the tree's!
What great pics. Keep them coming :ok: |
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 :D awesome pics keep em coming! LUNAR - you crack me up mate. :p |
The bennies of having a NOTAR!

London HEMS
The landing of London HEMS in Piccadily square on the box junction resulted in the local police sending a large framed photo and a fixed penatly notice. All the paperwork was filled in for the helicopter with its registration and description as well as a 3 point fixed penalty notice for parking in a box junction being issued to the chief pilot (RIP -a sad loss :sad: ).

Hi ASER it seem that no one want to answer your question about the 76. It is the first generation a A model with allison engine. Great pick RotorHead
Cheers FH |
Hi FlyingHead, thanks.:ok:

Late reply!
Nasus.
Sorry for the late replay, but i have been on a few weeks leave. Concerning the problem of loading a 120 kg patient: it s very rare that we are on our own when it comes to loading patients. Usually the local fire/rescue crew assist us with that stuff.. But of course, we wont be able to load a patient of that size on our own. In that case we will have to find another solution. The NVG equipment we have is cleared by the US to be used by us, I am just a pilot, but i udnerstand that that the papper work for it was fairly massiv!!!! sending some pics: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...9/Image-01.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...LOWSE_JUC4.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...20050722_8.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...0508020_21.jpg a view from the cockpit!! http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...9/20051002.jpg |
