What companies do 2/2 rotation?
Rotorhead replied to sirlandsalot's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Cougar is switching to 2/2 mainly due to the new flight duty regulations. The training staff and SAR crews remain on 3/3. -

That's a familiar looking ramp.

What's With All The "protection" On The Forums?
Rotorhead replied to Freewheel's topic in General Helicopter Operations
It's been that way for quite some time. If you are not logged in, certain categories have been limited to members only for a while. -
I've had a blade pocket lift on a 61, that was bad enough. Cannot imagine the ride these folks had.

Source For Skull Caps In Canada
Rotorhead replied to lamanated's topic in General Helicopter Operations
If you are refering to the liners under the helmet, I have known a few pilots that have purchased welder caps at Princess Auto. Very inexpensive and do the trick. It's not a fashion show as they are under your "lid". They sell them individually or in packs of 24. Cheers, BG -
Deepest condolences to the colleagues and families involves. It has been a while since I worked and lived in Terrace. B Garnhum

Very sad indeed. A great pilot and person lost.

Jet-B In A Diesel?
Rotorhead replied to Deep Throat the third's topic in General Helicopter Operations
That makes sense. It would certainly lack power if the rings were worn as badly as expected. -
Jet-B In A Diesel?
Rotorhead replied to Deep Throat the third's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Indeed, After draining a main tank in an S61 a number of years back, in order to do a boost pump change, we poured the drained fuel into the aft tank of the Chevy pickup truck that was used to haul around the Grumman ops trailer. The base manager of that particular base informed us that they still used Jet B so that tank was used sparingly and was given a few quarts of ATF (for lube) until it could be burnt off and topped up with diesel. Jet B has a fair bit of Naptha in it. Naptha is "white Gas" or better known as BBQ lighter fluid. It lights off better at high altitudes, burns cleaner but will destroy your diesel engine as it runs the rings dry without as much lubrication as the Diesel does. RH -
Quick Canadian Air Crane Question
Rotorhead replied to Three_Per's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Is Lucille a 64F? I flew support for an F model in 1998 but I cannot recall the name on her nose. -
This is the last Skype image I have of Dev as he was asking "Are you drinking my son under the table tonight Bob?" Jim and I were having a good time that evening and chatting to Dev and Sherry always topped off the night. Rest in peace my friend. Taken way too soon. Bob Garnhum
