Automatic Helilink
The pilot can engage the helilink independently on the deployment box, analogous to the procedure with the existing (mechanical) helilink. With the automatic RCH-23 Helilik, the pilot can open and disengage the link independently, provided that the link is completely released. The open position is indicated to the pilot by means of a red LED cluster on the link.
Advantages
- Deployment boxes can be mounted on the tower and retrieved using the same handle.
- Safe transport of the deployment boxes by helicopter thanks to perfectly matched components
- easy repositioning of incorrectly placed deployment boxes
- No persons in the danger zone around the deployment box
- No current-carrying longline
- Conventional longline can be used in various lengths
- Foldable for easier transportation by helicopter
- Good stability in flight
