Helilogging using CTL Processor

Many economical advantages to bundling turns with processor for helilogging

1. Increased turns per Hour

Example: ¼ mile distance… Should expect 24 Turns per hour or about 2.5 minutes (150 sec) per turnAcceleration = 10 secCruise time = 7.5 secDecelleration = 10 secTotal time en-route = 27.5 sec x 2 = 55 sec

What happened to the other 95 sec??

These are the seconds where the sale designers have maximum influence. These decisions will control the seconds required to:

1. Acquire the target (locate the hooker)2. Pull the logs together and lift the turn3. Deliver logs to drop zone
