Bottom pass to wrap up the line. The safest way to trim and the fastest option for our customers. One bird alone cuts in two hours, what typical ground crews do in a week at a fraction of the cost. . . . #aerialutilitymanagement #vegetationmanagement #forestry #treetrimming #utilitypilot #powerlinepilot #lineman #linelife #sidesaw #toppingsaw #transmission #distribution #dangertrees #overhang #mdhughes #md500 #helicopter #mdhelicopters #helimechanic #linejunk #powerline #helicopterpilot #aerialsawpilot #aerialsaw #groundman #patrolpilot #speedandsafety #groundtosky #flyingthewire #rotorbladellc @verticlemagazine @collectiveheli @mdhelicopters @rotor.hub @santeecooper @heliopsmag Reposted by @rotorbladellc (at Tag A Friend) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NDd0GHph-/?igshid=z3z3osmyqw9f

Thank goodness Rotor Blade linemen are much more enthusiastic about their job than ol’ Bernie. We have highly experienced linemen to oversee utility powerline crews that might have limited experience working from helicopters, ensuring that everyone stays safe. However, we never recommend wool mittens on any job. #mdhelicopter #md500 #md500D #md500E #md530F #helicopter #flyingthewire #aerialsaw #vegetationmanagement #forestry #treetrimming #rightofwayclearing #helipilot #powerlinepilot #lineman #linelife #transmission #distribution #powerline #utilitypilot #mdhughes Repost By @rotorbladellc (at Tag a Friend) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjIbJAnbaP/?igshid=1nrtp4a56m5ns

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to be in a helicopter doing powerline work, here’s a taste!

While many Americans are home with their families, we’re still out doing maintenance, installing new glass, spacers and static work around the Maryland/Washington d.c. area this week keeping the grid strong!

Standard ops Wednesday, HEC plays a vital role in transporting linemen and equipment in the wire environment while providing safe clearance for the helicopter from structures and other hazards. Allowing the work to be preformed safely and efficiently with zero right of way impact. ⚡️ #mdhelicopters #md500E #md500d #utilityaviation #helicopter #powerlinehelicopter #verticalreference #longline #shorthaul #ars #arsbellyband #littlebird #powerline #HEC #HumanExternalCargo #utilitypilots #aerometals #mdhelicopter #aviation #helicopter #rotorcraft #rotorcraftpro #vertical #externalcargo #133 #hugheshelicopters #md500 #ibew #helicopterconstruction #gopro Repost By @utilitypilot (at Tag a Friend) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4z5Ddxn2i6/?igshid=1ep2e4ur1vtb6

It’s Monday and the distribution lines are being trimmed up as we speak. With proper traffic control we are able to cut down the ROW’s many thought we couldn’t. With an aerial saw the possibilities for trimming are endless and are an essential tool for any utility in today’s world. @stevearborist . . #aerialutilitymanagement #vegetationmanagement #forestry #treetrimming #utilitypilot #powerlinepilot #lineman #linelife #sidesaw #toppingsaw #transmission #distribution #dangertrees #coop #mdhughes #md500 #helicopter #mdhelicopters #helimechanic #powerline #helicopterpilot #aerialsawpilot #aerialsaw #groundman #patrolpilot #speedandsafety #groundtosky #flyingthewire #rotorbladellc @verticlemagazine @collectiveheli @mdhelicopters @heliopsmag @rotor.hub @highvoltage_industries Repost By @rotorbladellc (at Tag a Friend) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAD-wINnom4/?igshid=lbsqm8q8jmaj

It’s Friday on the Row’s, but we’ll be sawing into the weekend. From ground to sky, and all while saving our customers money vs traditional trimming methods. Not to mention aerial sawing is the safest way to trim by far! . . #aerialutilitymanagement #vegetationmanagement #forestry #treetrimming #utilitypilot #powerlinepilot #lineman #linelife #sidesaw #toppingsaw #transmission #distribution #dangertrees #coop #mdhughes #md500 #helicopter #mdhelicopters #helimechanic #powerline #helicopterpilot #aerialsawpilot #aerialsaw #groundman #patrolpilot #speedandsafety #groundtosky #flyingthewire #rotorbladellc @verticlemagazine @collectiveheli @mdhelicopters @heliopsmag @rotor.hub Repost By @rotorbladellc (at Tag Your Friend) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82e6uHnlvY/?igshid=1u6p1z5bcftrn
