Gravimetric surveying with MI-8 helicopters
Abstract
A new type of geophysical operation--gravimetric surveying from MI-8 helicopters with the aid of suspended gravimeters--has been mastered for the first time in the country by Far East helicopter crews. In this method, all work is performed by an operator inside a helicopter carrying a gravimeter on an outside sling. The gravimeter is equipped with a stabilizing device. Work with the suspended gravimeter requires considerable flying skill and highly precise piloting during approaches and hovering.
