HEC Y-Ropes
Y-Rope for MD500 & MD600 HEC Dual Cargo Hook Kits
Product Number: 490-014-00
Typically ships within two (2) business days
The Y-rope is required when conducting human external cargo (HEC) missions using our MD500 Dual Cargo Hook Kit. It provides a controlled interface between the two cargo hooks and the longline. For the components below the Y-rope (carabiner to lanyard), Onboard offers an optional HEC longline package. Alternative configurations or components may also be approved for use through your local Aviation Authority.
NOTE: For use with the MD500 and MD600 Dual Cargo Hook Kits

- High-Performance LCP Fiber Rope:Longlines are fabricated using Vectran® LCP (liquid crystal polymer) synthetic fiber yarns to provide greater heat resistance as compared to HMPE fiber ropes. Super strong and ultra light, the ropes are treated with a polyurethane coating to resist abrasion and UV degradation.
- Color-Coordinated for Accurate Installation:Y-rope lines are color-coded and imprinted with block-lettered identifying text to ensure correct installation every time.
- NHEC Load Options:With the Y-rope attached to both cargo hooks, the dual cargo hook system load limit is 800 lb. (363 kg) for both HEC and non-HEC (NHEC) missions. When an NHEC load is attached to only the primary cargo hook, the normal aircraft load limit applies.
