"We will all just have to agree to disagree! And as a side note, duh its a twin, but still going to lose power and suddenly dip when losing one. And I've flown on helijet, not even 1 of the 4 pilots impressed me at all. Accepting mediocrity, and crashes so long as nobody is killed, is just not my style. I'll keep doing it the way I have been for 3 decades, it works well for me."

OK, AngelsSang: you've trashed their approach; how would you have accomplished that mission? And you didn't answer my question: are you rotary wing qualified? If so, what types? How many hours?

Is that video the norm for their ground ops ? Or is this one off those videos where you are supposed to guess how many things are done for fun in a safety quiz ? I counted 4 on the first watch and six on the second viewing .
It is like watching someone juggling chainsaws at the circus :)

Too close to the ship? You can’t be serious.
Closer to 20 and 12 S76’s. That’s 1/4 of the flying S76 fleet in Canada.

flying to FATO in the center of the heliport gives maximum room in all directions. Once down, reducing collective to just what is needed to taxi will reduce downwash that may affect any other a/c on the ground... :yawinkle:
