36
Q

What direction do survivors enter the cabin? Why?

A

Feet first. but may enter head first if situation warrants
- Best way to tend to a survivor

37
Q

Can a litter be used with extended pylon?

A

YES
- SHOULD not be hoisted with extended pylon
- USED AS A LAST RESORT

38

A

uninflated or deflated
10/10 or 15/0

41
Q

What should you do if the rescue hoist fails during a rescue?

A

CC SHALL notify HAC/perform NATOPs

What altitude is recommended for a jammed hoist?

A
  • No higher than 30ft AGL
  • No faster than safe single engine airspeed
43
Q

Describe SAR Conditions
