#5 Robinson R22 R44 Training Safety Tip Never carry external load without approved hook

Never carry an external load unless using a proofed hook. Sounds pretty self explanatory. I would hope that none of you would go out and make your own hook and try and attach it to the aircraft and go start lifting stuff. But strange things do happen. Never attach an external load except when using a proved hook, nor attach anything to the outside of the helicopter. Also, be sure no loose articles are in the cabin, particularly when flying with any of the doors removed. Even a small object or piece of cloth or paper could damage the tow rotor if it comes loose in flight. We're going to hit this another time or two before we're done.
