Automatic Helilink
The Wyssen Automatic Heli Link RCH-23 is a one tool solution. It enables the pilot to place a Deployment Box on the tower and remotely disengage the attachment, using radio, in a manner analogous to traditional heli hooks. The pilot can also retrieve Deployment Boxes from the tower in a matter analogous to the well known manual Wyssen Heli Link HK02. The open/closed status, of the Wyssen Automatic Heli Link RCH-23, is indicated to the pilot by a red LED mounted on the tool.
