Put the rope around your neck and jump out, might do the industry some good to eliminate the ones with the dumbest IQs

Leave the helicopter, take the balloon.  Very popular right now.

I'd rather have a low weight hoist for this than sling load. I plan to use it for dip netting and getting high value customers some deep sea fish. It's better if I can pull it up into the helicopter as I plan to use lower time pilots and they aren't good at slinging. 


was just getting some feelers out

You do not know the weight of the load, many hoists are limited to 600 pounds at the end of the string.  Part 133D used to require a 'Transport Category' or a smaller twin with fly away single engine capability, of course for human cargo,  I have seen a hoist on a H-500E and a H-530 ad one on a Astar of some  sort.  Never seen them in use.

high value customer and R44 should never be used in the same conversation.

Don‘t forget you will need FISH on the side of your helicopter just like the trucks do. That is a federal law.

You are overdoing, and over achieving. R22 is all you need.

So says the New IP Guy. See replies above for the rest of the spiel. And no, I didn't wrongly spell spiel.
