Helchock: Secure Mounting Solutions for Demanding Flight Environments

Helchock offers a simple yet powerful way to secure essential flight gear like tablets, clipboards, and even helmets in challenging flight environments, including agricultural aviation, aerial firefighting, and backcountry flying. This versatile magnetic mounting system keeps your equipment organized, accessible, and protected, significantly improving safety, efficiency, and situational awareness in critical situations.

Agricultural Aviation (Ag Aviation): Precision and Efficiency in the Fields

Ag pilots operate in demanding conditions, often at low altitudes and with precise maneuvering. Maintaining focus and quick access to essential tools is paramount. Helchock provides valuable solutions for:

Securing Tablets for Navigation, Application Data, and Communication: Keep critical flight information, field maps, application data, and communication tools readily available. Helchock ensures tablets are securely mounted for easy viewing and operation, enhancing pre-flight preparation, in-flight decision-making, and communication with ground crews.
Mounting Clipboards for Flight Plans, Checklists, and Field Notes: Maintain organized flight plans, checklists, field notes, and other essential paperwork. Helchock keeps clipboards securely in place, preventing them from being lost or blown around in the open cockpit, especially during turns and maneuvers.
Securing Helmets During Ferry Flights and Ground Operations: Protect your helmet during transit to and from fields. Helchock provides a convenient and secure way to stow your helmet in the aircraft or support vehicle, preventing damage and keeping it readily accessible.

Benefits for Ag Aviation:

Enhanced Flight Safety: Securely mounted equipment minimizes distractions and prevents interference with flight controls during critical operations.
Improved Efficiency: Quick access to essential information streamlines operations, reduces downtime between passes, and maximizes productivity.
Increased Organization: A tidy cockpit improves focus, reduces stress, and enhances overall workflow during demanding flight operations.

Aerial Firefighting: Rapid Response and Critical Communication

Aerial firefighters operate in high-stress, rapidly changing environments where precise navigation and clear communication are essential. Helchock offers valuable solutions for:

Securing Tablets for Mapping, Fire Tracking, and Communication: Keep critical maps, fire perimeter data, real-time weather information, communication apps, and other essential information readily accessible during firefighting operations. Helchock ensures tablets are securely mounted, preventing them from becoming dislodged during turbulent flight conditions.
Mounting Clipboards for Mission Briefings, Drop Zone Coordination, and Documentation: Maintain organized records, access essential mission briefings, coordinate drop zones, and document firefighting efforts. Helchock keeps clipboards securely in place, even in challenging flight conditions.
Securing Helmets During Transit and Staging: Protect helmets during transit to fire locations and while staging for operations. Helchock provides a secure storage solution within the aircraft or support vehicles.

Benefits for Aerial Firefighting:

Enhanced Communication and Coordination: Reliable access to information is crucial for coordinating firefighting efforts, ensuring crew safety, and maximizing effectiveness.
Improved Situational Awareness: Securely mounted tablets provide easy access to critical mapping, fire behavior data, and situational updates.
Increased Safety: Preventing loose objects from becoming projectiles minimizes the risk of injury during turbulent flight and rapid maneuvers.

Backcountry Flying: Navigation and Self-Reliance in Remote Areas

Backcountry flying requires careful planning, precise navigation, and the ability to handle unexpected situations. Helchock offers valuable solutions for:

Securing Tablets for Navigation, Weather Updates, and Emergency Communication: Utilize tablets for GPS navigation, accessing weather updates, and maintaining emergency communication capabilities. Helchock can be used to mount tablets to the aircraft's instrument panel or other suitable surfaces for easy access during flight.
Mounting Clipboards for Charts, Flight Logs, and Emergency Procedures: Keep paper charts, flight logs, emergency procedures, and other essential documents organized and readily accessible. Helchock can secure clipboards to various surfaces within the aircraft.
Securing Helmets During Transit and Ground Operations: Protect your helmet during transport to remote airstrips and while conducting ground operations. Helchock provides a convenient and secure storage solution within the aircraft.

Benefits for Backcountry Flying:

Improved Navigation and Situational Awareness: Keep essential navigation tools readily available for navigating in remote and often challenging terrain.
Enhanced Safety and Preparedness: Ensure quick access to emergency procedures and communication tools in case of unexpected events.
Increased Organization and Efficiency: Maintain a tidy cockpit and streamline pre-flight and in-flight tasks.
