Incredible! I just got into sling training in my flight sim. You have inspired me to stick with it. It's a tough skill to acquire

[@hverfold]

Awesome too see this! Not a lot people post a "day of work" from the utility sector. Loved your commentary ontop.

[@dsholden1]

Thanks for nice feedback 😊

[@talon2577]

your videos are TRULY one of a kind. Thanks so much for putting them out there!

[@dsholden1]

Thanks man:) stay tuned for episode 2 👍

Great video!
Have you thought about taking the top piece of plastic out of the vertical reference window? We used to do that because It was much easier to clean the lower portion from the inside and there was no glare from the Sun directly overhead.

[@dsholden1]

No I don't believe we have considered that, but it does make an excellent point as window cleanliness is a thing 🤞

[@dirkmohrmann8960]

In Canada at least, doing that can get you written up in case of a ramp check. Annoyingly the window is required because the flight control linkages under the floor

Another Great and informative video. Im a 400hr news pilot in Canada. I hope to do that type on flying one day

[@dsholden1]

Thank you:) persistence is the way forward 🤙

[@MagnusThornberg]

So cool to hear you talk and do that incredible job at the same time. As one sad nice to have commentary about the job you do. I’m just playing a helicopter pilot in Microsoft Flight Simulator 🙈😂 and are for now sucked in helicopters.
One question, are you only adjust the height with the collective or do you fine adjust the load with a winch button?

[@boaznood1682]

Awesome!

Thanks 🚁

[@jesussquidlegschrist]

Just curious why you didn't take the door off to help with your view..? Too cold?

[@dsholden1]

This is Norway so cold is an constant :) I have done that once and the door seal came flying off in flight. A freak happening but it still gave the goose bumps.

[@jesussquidlegschrist]

@@dsholden1 ya I understand that. Shivering when slinging sucks

[@olehbaranovskyi2605]

Hi. Sorry for bothering you. But can you please tell how is it called the piece of equipment installed on right side, close to the leg, for measuring how much weight do you take instantaneously

[@dsholden1]

h125 cargo hook load indicator, is what it says on it.
