SlingTalk #46 // How to descend quickly with a long line

[@piersmcgillycuddy2259]

As an AS350 pilot myself I love to see that corkscrew descent . Awesome flying skills. You have a great job, I'm a bit jealous actually.

[@UpsideDownWash]

Thanks man 😊

[@diewont]

Nice! Incredible footage, and its fascinating to watch the cyclic control

[@harezy]

Cool. would love to know what they are building and see what it looks like when finished. And at the end 23:15 looks like the entrance to a bunker!. 🧐😁😁

[@VYSLED]

Thanks for making these videos the footage on decent showing bank angle is epic

[@Keksstar]

Very nice camera angles. I like it. What were you adjusting on the upper hat switch on the cyclic?

[@daverotors]

That switch should be changing the active/standby frequency on the primary radio I think

[@airlogic]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@daverotors]

Awesome video as always! Always love watching them! I'm just wondering how you judge the correct height. Surely it's easier from the cockpit than in the video, but still.. What are you looking for to see if you're 1m above the ground crew's head or if the hook is going right to their hands? Also how do you judge the angle you have with the unloaded sling? The bottom window in the cockpit only goes back so far, right? Just experience or do you go by feel, or do you have some rough numbers you can orient yourself with regarding airspeed, ROD etc?

Just curious if you get to go home every night after work..here in the states I'm out for months. Only place I was home every night was when I lived on kauai.

[@UpsideDownWash]

yeah mostly we get home every night. of course we get caught out in weather from time to time but it is usually planned that we RTB at the end of the day

[@javierondo]

10:41 did you say "por favor"? hahaha

[@UpsideDownWash]

haha yeah

[@987Damo]

Why does the sound of the turbine sound higher with the first load going up, and then a lot lower as soon as you drop the load and heading back down? Is it because the engine is under strain from the load?

[@cmm3338]

Mix between rotor blade change in pitch, and the governor.

[@Hoverfiles]

Nice one!

[@leoren2674]

What kind of photography is used

[@UpsideDownWash]

insta 360, gopro hero 8 and gopro hero 6 for chest mount.

[@leoren2674]

@@UpsideDownWash We do the same job, but I'm not as good as you. I use a 30-meter-long rope.

[@leoren2674]

@@UpsideDownWash Before the goods touch the ground, I can only judge the altitude by looking at the radar altimeter.

[@Therealpilotmike]

It’s funny you describe the undesirable aircraft state and yet continue the flight path without changing it lol 😂 … self induced pressure.

Where´s this location?

Until UpsideDownWash answers himself, here is a link for the general area/location: www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/fjord-norway/ryfylke/the-lysefjord-area/?lang=uk

@@TheFjordflier Thank you very much! Maybe I didn´t listened enough on that part. Was mind blown by the awesome shots from the heli itself :D
