The Challenge
Mine rescue helicopter operations require CASA MOS 139-compliant Windsocks for safe landing at emergency helipads on mine sites. When a mine incident occurs, response time is critical — and pilots landing at unfamiliar emergency helipads depend on a clearly visible, standardised CASA-compliant Windsock for accurate wind assessment. The requirement was for a Heavy Duty WeatherMax80 yellow CASA specification unit with bridle harness for attachment to rotor arm pivot.
Key Requirements
- CASA MOS 139 compliant helicopter Windsock specification
- Heavy Duty WeatherMax80 fabric — mine site durability
- Yellow for CASA compliance and aviation visibility
- With bridle harness for rotor arm pivot mounting
- Reflective tail for emergency night operations
What We Supplied
Outcome
CASA-compliant helicopter Windsock delivered to the mine rescue organisation supporting safe helicopter operations at mine site emergency helipads. The WeatherMax80 specification provides the durability needed for ongoing mine site exposure, while CASA compliance ensures pilots can rely on the standardised wind indication during critical emergency response operations.
