Flying Pig Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Isn't it things like that where Robinson ends up with all of its ADs? The Robbie just doesn't seem like a helicopter that was meant to yank and bank. Speaking from all of my 26hrs TT in one. Quote
Astro Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 From what I've read the r22 is widely used in cattle herding, especially in Australia. So I guess some think it yanks and banks just fine. Quote
01CelicaGTS Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Wow! That looks fun! ADs? Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are legally enforceable rules issued by the FAA in accordance with 14 CFR part 39 to correct an unsafe condition in a product. 14 CFR part 39 defines a product as an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance. http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/continued_operation/ad/ Quote
aussiecop Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Cattle mustering in Australia is pretty widely used, not sure how many of you know, but some cattle stations in Australia are the size of some of the larger states here. Back before helicopters, they would send a team of Jackaroo's to muster the cattle and they'd be gone weeks or months to herd them and get them back. With helicopters it is obviously a wise move from a time perspective. They do have their fair share of wrecks though, as you can see in the videos, the muster work is pretty skillful work, like certain mission types here, it only takes a slight miscalculation and you eat dirt.

I didnt watch the whole thing, but in The first half, they totally tripped up that bull with the atv and then it looked like they drove on top of him to keep him pinned down. 1 Quote
Astro Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I just thought the flying looked fun, didn't really pay attention to anything else. Quote
