Abschnitt 6.7 - 6.7 Measuring flights
Measuring flights are helicopter assignments, where air or water samples are recorded or measurements, e.g. on transmitting power or seismology, are carried out.
Additional equipment
For taking samples or carrying out measurements, for example:
air sample measuring devices,
water sample extraction devices,
transmission and receiving systems and
measuring probes
can be used.
Flight operation
Before the execution of the assignment, within the framework of a briefing, the employer has to inform the employees about potential hazards in connection with the work task (e.g. the existence of hazardous substances) and is to take suitable assignment-specific measures. Special activities (such as taking samples while using respiratory protection) must be described in written operating instructions.
If taking the sample or the measurement can only be carried out with the door open, the helicopter must be suitable for this (manufacturer's release).
Further measures to minimise hazards can result from the risk assessment.
