The strength of the Helicopter Fly By, in comparison
with the Hover and then simulated take off is evident.

The measured axle spacing is used with time interval
between impacts to reveal vehicle speed of 40km/hr

AUGUSTA 139 Helicopter during hover and fly by trials in alignment
with road opposite cabin measurement position.
Hover at 100’ (30m) and fly by at 150 – 200’ (45 – 60m) altitude

Example of equipment deployment on Cabin Roof

A string of 60 consecutive 1 second samples of Helicopter events including site background. The steps arise because the adjacent 60 second blocks of data are not themselves consecutive. The steady high levels relate to the Helicopter Hovering in a fixed position, whilst the peak events are a simulated take off.
