the terrain and landing zone, guiding during approach, dropping off technicians and equipment, and then taking off safely.


In the middle of the morning, the guardian of the Refuge du Goûter (Gouter Hut) contacts the CMBH team to carry supplies up to them in the afternoon. The second team prepares for the mission as best as it can in an environment where weather changes quickly at different altitudes.


The flight rate per hour is expensive, and the team needs to fully coordinate to quickly deliver supplies. It’s a “big bag” load, and the sun is shining. At this season and altitude, the maximum weight the helicopter can carry is 650 kilograms (1,433 pounds). By comparison, in summer with warm temperatures, the maximum weight is limited to 500 kg (1,102 pounds).


Brun explains that each delivery is different because each location differs in weather conditions, schedule, and the nature of materials and supplies delivered. Transporting a large metal panel is totally different from flying a cube of concrete or a huge loaded bag. Sling lengths can vary from 10 meters (33 feet) to 125 meters (410 feet); those varying lengths make a big difference for the flight and its aerology analysis.


Our day has been fully filled with varying types of missions alongside some panoramic flights. Next on the agenda is a hot meal.


Simple flight data today, for a safer tomorrow.


Know exactly where your aircraft are flying, and how they are being flown. Obtaining detailed flight information and having real-time critical oversight has never been easier.
