The skid landing and skid light insertions are fairly straightforward.
The team
members ride the Tyler bench from takeoff to landing and rapidly deploy upon touchdown of the aircraft.
Fast-rope ops are an entirely different animal altogether and take a great deal of coordination between the pilot, crew chief, and fast-roping team members. As the aircraft approaches the X (insertion spot), the pilot and crew chief are communicating to ensure the aircraft is hovering over the X and the team members can safely fast-rope to the ground. This is especially critical when operating over confined, elevated areas such as rooftops.
Once the pilot comes into a stabilized high hover over the insertion location, the pilot verbally communicates with the crew chief to deploy the team. The crew chief will then use hand signals in a chopping motion to command the team members to unhook from the Tyler bench and slide down the rope. The team members’ primary job is to smoothly transition from the bench onto the rope, and do their best to look at one another and slide down the ropes in unison.
If not performed properly, fast-rope ops can put the aircraft out of balance and require the pilot to make larger control inputs in order to keep the aircraft stable and over the X.
