NOTE
Communications between LMS crew and cab crew are essential. A method of communication
should be established as early as possible (possibly prior to mission). This can take the form
of voice communications, hand signals, field phones if available, or a combination of any of
these methods.
At times voice communications will be difficult due to high noise level.
