“One of the biggest advantages that the flight found was the ease in which this equipment was handled into and out of the work spaces when landing and storing the aircraft. Two persons could handle the whole evolution if required. The whole evolution took 17 minutes instead of the usual 30+ minutes with the Sikorsky system.”
“100% better than the original ones.”
“The ABRS is also safer to manipulate, as the clamp and pole lightness make it more controllable when fitting the clamp to the blade, this results in minimizing the chance of injury to the operator or the aircraft, especially under adverse conditions.”
“They love them and give two thumbs up.”
” . . . allowed minimum use of manpower and was reliable through all conditions that the flight experienced.”
“Best thing since sliced bread.”
“One person can easily and safely carry two pieces, as with the older system it was usually one piece of restraint gear per trip.”
