Those tests included for instance the testing of equipment when operating the hoist, the test of procedures at the different bases, as well as the ground operations at those very bases. Further, and key were, the gathering of experience of the helicopter at flight as well as when hoisting. In the course of the week a number of IFR approaches were conducted with the help of the newly developed ARIOS system.
