Thumbs up on that Peace sign with the Bonanza V Tail!

[bernardanderson]

Lots of hovering involved in your Bell 206

[brooklynrobotworks]

What's with all the clutter in the cockpit? The passenger's cellphone laid by the pilot's collective, all that spaghetti-cabling, the cap, the water bottle under her leg and of course the hard Ipad one inch from her cyclic...

[miked]

Wow clear when neither pilot was looking outside. Slack

[keithdolezel]

Amazing job. not many options for bail out is there.

[bernardanderson]

What are you looking for on the powerline and there are numbers on them also

[wingsuitist]

Even if I was standing on the skid I wouldn't have heard that "clear."

[DS-moif]

Flying close to power lines with duels installed ☠️

[topofthegreen]

If I was under 65 with a collage degree and 2, 000 hours, I’d do this.

[BarryFlo]

There appeared to be a lot of insulators missing which would indicate the line was dead

[squawk]

Why do helicopters get to take off from the taxiway. LOL

[patrickjennings]

Excellent video. Soon enough all of this type of visual inspection will be done by drone. Of course, drones can’t do the difficult aerial work where humans are lowered to the power lines.

[jamesadams]

What are these two guys looking for on the wires

[Baz]

Thanks for the vid, but with no com we are missing half of the fun....

[Kabivelrat]

Why the right pedal? I thought you needed either left pedal to counter the torque or let the tail fin keep the helicopter straight but never knew you would need right pedal to keep the helicopter in trim...
Can someone explain please?

[dvsmotions]

Seems like a drone would be much cheaper and more efficient for this job.

[alexandersheppard]

Lots of clutter in the cockpit. That doesn’t look very safe!

[alexandersheppard]

Charging cords strung everywhere, iPads not secured properly, phones not in airplane mode, no checklist usage, no fire extinguisher visible, this operation is a disaster waiting to happen!

[Kocur_z_ur]

Live in USA is great. They are going to ban cars here in Europe.

[Patrick-pqd]

01:16 you are not really gonna fly with a front glass in this condition?!
