(4756) Operator Type: Commercial CARs Subpart: Aircraft Event InformationObject dropped from aircraft Occurrence Summary Date: 2014-10-16 Further Action Required: No O.P.I.: Narrative: TSB Report#A14F0129: The Great Slave Helicopters Bell 212 (C-GKTL), operating under the operator certificate (OC) of ECO Copters of Peru, was being used to sling-carry supplies from Iscozacin Base, Peru, to a location about 15 nm from the Base. A single hook with two cargo nets was being used. While en route, about 8 nm NNE of Iscozacin Base, a slight bump was felt. It was then observed that items were streaming from the slung cargo into a forested area. One of the slung cargo nets had released its contents, which were explosives for seismic work. Both cargo nets remained attached to hook. There were no ground injuries. The cargo was recovered and a site clean-up conducted. The seismic company is assessing both the cargo net failure and the training of the cargo net loaders. Please note that for the most part, CADORS reports contain preliminary, unconfirmed data which can be subject to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wow....I'm surprised at the use of cargo nets for explosives...when we were doing seismic in Mexico we only uses lined metal framed baskets that were virtually indestructible. Hopefully all the explosives were recovered!!!??!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcap Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 If a stick of dynamite falls in a rain forest and no one is around does it make a sound? Probably fairly inert by time it smashed itself to ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bif Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 A client's argo broke down in the field the other day while carrying explosives. At least 3 separate people on site asked me at least a 1/2 dozen times whether I could fly the explosives out for them. They all knew the answer before they asked me the first time, but they each figured they would ask again (and again), just in case I suddenly felt like breaking the rules, I guess? Client induced pressure in its simplest form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
