Student Learning to Fly a Turbine Helicopter - Hovering - Day 1
Переглядів 2,8 тис.4 місяці тому
Like many different professions, there is little view into the aviation industry. I hope this video helps shine a light into the role of a flight instructor but also the struggles and successes of a student as they progress through the journey of becoming a pilot. For me as the PIC on this flight, I did not have the needed 5 hours of PIC time in this make and model of aircraft to allow the stud...

It is a privilege to share my aviation experience. I understand that I don't do everything perfectly, but hope that we all can enjoy and learn from my experiences. Fly Safe & Never Stop Learning! Recently I was approached by the owner of this Aérospatiale Alouette II helicopter, and to help him get his helicopter license. I had zero hours in the make and model. He invited me over to the airport...

Although seeing a bush plane in Alaska is very common, this isn't Alaska, and it isn't common to see. This is the Just Aircraft SuperSTOL. This aircraft was build in Alaska, flown to the lower 48 states, and then shipped overseas to serve in the mission field. It's primary task is hauling supplies and personnel to remote mountain villages....

There is nothing like hands-on and practical lessons parents can teach their children. Plus, it can be a huge boost of self-esteem! This was my daughter Meraiah's first time using a skid steer. After a 30 second lesson, I turned her loose. She is a quick learner and is a very responsible 9 year old. Thought I would share the experience, hopefully to encourage parents and kids to get outside the...

I make these videos for the love of sharing and teaching others. Like, share, comments so that UA-cam will make it more visible to others. The aviation industry is very guarded and hope to inspire people to join the aviation community. Thanks.

    God was definitely in the cockpit with me a long time ago! Flying solo as a student I accidentally flew into a zero visibility ( I had training to teach me what to do should I get in the situation) . Spatial disorientation was instantaneous and I watched my hands and feet make all the correct inputs to controls and Power for successful recovery! Only the Lord our God could have done that ! The result more experienced pilot ,no structural issues with the airplane , and most important a greater strength to my faith!

    Surprised that it took them so long to land, more than two minutes from overflying accident site to touchdown, european resuce heli pilots seem to be far better trained for such situations. That was a very easy landing site, here in Europe they land in inner cities with 5 foot clearince on both sides and usually coming in on direct approach, they are rarely doing an overpass, and if much much lower. In such a situation with such an easy landing spot they would have been on short downwind at less than 100 feet AGL a few knots above ETL and very close to the accident site, turn base and final and touch down in less than 30 seconds.

    Hi Michael, fantastique live video. I have a technical question: this great (french ;-) ) helicopter has 2 free turbine engines, but there are, apparently, both linked to the rotor without any clutch. So, when the first engine is running, the rotor is spinning. Does it mean that the second free turbine is already spinning ? Does it have any impact on the startup sequence ? Thanks for your answer.
