Description

The Linus winch light serves a dual function: it acts both as an additional weight for the hook and as a light source, providing greater visibility for both the pilot and ground operators. Its carefully designed structure ensures a firm grip and an aerodynamic profile that prevents self-oscillation even during translational flight.

Using this device in nighttime operations allows for remarkable accuracy in targeting by the pilot and operator. As the winch approaches the ground or target, the light beam narrows, enabling the winch operator and pilot to quickly gauge the hook’s distance from the target.

The Linus light is made from a combination of aluminum-magnesium for the lighting part and soft polyurethane for the covering, making it shock-resistant and free of sharp edges. Typically, it is attached to the utility eyelet on the winch hook
