Bell 206L

Objective:

This operator had major long standing radio issues. These conditions and snags were contributing to a very unsafe environment for the pilot and ground crews. At one point they had to rely on a 1 click for yes and 2 clicks for no to communicate. The project was taken on while the helicopter was having a head changed and was to be accomplished in a very short time period.
