SALY Helicopter Hoist Operator Lanyard

SALY is a lanyard for Helicopter Hoist Operators. Its main function is to secure the operator during helicopter hoist operations. SALY is connected to the operator's harness with an Autoblock carabiner (3 movements) and to the helicopter ceiling (safety point) with a TANGO 360 high visibility aluminum Double Gate carabiner safety system. The aluminum swivel allows the lanyard to rotate as the operator moves throughout the cabin, avoiding twists in the lanyard. 

SALY is also equipped with innovative safety devices:

• overload indicator on the swivel joint of the connector to signal the integrity and performance of the lanyard during high-rate acceleration under load
• Quick Release System to ensure safe evacuation of the operator in case of emergencies like helicopter ditching or crash. The 2-action Quick Release System is easy to reach and can work both under load, or without tension on the lanyard, and can be opened with one hand

SALY can be used in a wide range of helicopter cabins. The length adjustment device allows the operator to always have the right lanyard length setting when they are operating the rescue hoist at the cabin door.

Also, the high visibility connecting devices and tabs allow easier cabin crew cross-checks before opening the door in flight (checking correct connections to the safety point and harness).

SALY is versatile and not only dedicated to Hoist Operators, but could have other applications for helicopter cabin crews.
