2020 07 24 #1 CRE5 Departure and Passenger Hot Load
Channel: Glenn Chong

My Helipad is at 2,900 ASL.  The density altitude on hot summer days can be  as high as 6,000 feet.  Because of the trees around my heli-pad, with 2 heavy passengers I prefer to depart with 1 person and then pick up the 2nd passenger closer to the house.  Hot loading (while the helicopter is running) is safe but MUST be properly briefed beforehand.  Wireless Lightspeed Tango headset make this easier.
