- Abstract
- For many years, experienced heliocpter specialists in the field have indicated a desire for nonmetallic leadlines. Under current procedures, the General Services Administration (GSA) awards supply contracts for helicopter accessories such as leadlines. Forest Service standard No. 5100-500, "Accessories, External-Loading, Helicopter," is used in this process and steel leadlines are currently the only lines specified.
