You, my friend, are in the right profession. Your handling of that chopper is EXCELLENT. I just subscribed to your channel. 24 years as an Aviator..... and I've never been as impressed as I am with your flying skills. Even Chuck Aaron will be amazed at your excellence.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So much respect for the kind of flying you do! it must take some serious practice to keep looking out of that bubble window and maintain a steady pitch and roll attitude!
Love your videos!!👍🏻👍🏻 Would love to see a video where the camera looks down at your hands and feet, so we can see how you're controlling the helicopter! Would that be possible?
Thank you :) I guess it would. But the control inputs are very small so I think it would be hard to see anything. Maybe with two cameras and have picture in picture, I think that could be interesting. We'll see)
Are those vacation homes where people have to park their cars in the lot and hike up to their houses? Looks like a load of construction supplies then maybe food or something for the house? Awesome videos, thanks for sharing!
yeah those are cabins. usually they get together and order a heli for transport of all sorts of stuff to their own cabin and their neighbors. it is often not allowed to use a 4 or 6 wheeler due to the damage to the terrain so helicopter is the best option. unless you like carrying stuff
this heli is overweight due to pilot´s huge brass balls! :) everytime you look down the floor window my heartrate goes to double, and my head goes "how"? i fly often in R44 with my friend pilot and can not imagine howering without seeing horizon... also beautiful nature for a cottage or holiday in summer, but extreme for daily life, esp. in winter
I'm interested in your thought process at the onset. Did you have enough time to think and react to the situation or did you more or less just go with instinct? To me it looks like you're working to stay in control, quick glance on power and then you are out of it. I've never been in one myself at a low altitude so interested to hear more. :)
I recognized it almost immediatly (that feeling of sinking through), looked inside to check my current power setting and started to bring the power up as fast as i could without over torqueing. after the power application i focused down on the load to steer it away from anything on the ground should i not get out of it before it made touch down. the downdraft/turbulence was not nearly strong enough to bring the helicopter without the load to the ground so i just rode it out. should i hit the ground with the load the heli would almost immediatly exit the setteling with all that extra power suddenly available. after a few seconds the vibrations stopped and i knew i was out of it. with my new found respect for the conditions of that day i took it alot slower with the next bag:)
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! So was the issue that you entered Vortex Ring State because of your sinking rate but still had the power to fly out or was it the unlucky wind that reduced your airspeed thus requiring more power and you had none left? Anyways, compliments for how you handled the situation! Keep up the good work!
Thanks. It was not fully developed VRS. Settling with power is just running out of power to keep the helicopter up. If you have flown a smaller piston engine helicopter it's basically the same as beeing in a low hover and rolling the throttle off. You still have power but you will sink. If you have too high of a descent rate the helicopter just dosnt have enough power to stop the descent rate. That's what happend in this case. And a little bit because of the unlucky wind (downdraft) causing an even bigger requirement for power to keep the altitude
I hear ya...lol.. I've been watching you . I start new sling job this week. First time in a 407hp. I'll be switching between that and 500d then later back into b3e. Thanks for the recurrent training 🐾🚁

thank you so much:)
You are a helluva pilot. One thing I never got to do was sling load work.
Yes, noticed the nervous glance at the FLI . Good work.
Such beautiful country to fly over!
Thanks for sharing your videos, your a great pilot.
thanks:)
Loving these videos. Just finishing my CPL(H) and your terrain is almost as pretty as here in Canada :D.
Can i ask you how its going? also got my PPL(H) but want to continue to CPL(H)
I'm currently building an AS350 and here is a lot of nice cockpit detail. I like working models, preferably original.
Thats awesome! Would have loved to build one myself but I'm afraid I lack those skills😅
Superb video and flying !
So much respect for the kind of flying you do! it must take some serious practice to keep looking out of that bubble window and maintain a steady pitch and roll attitude!
Absolutely amazing skills. And it's almost unbelievable to even think he does these incredible flying manually. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice work there! Cool videos you are putting out :)
Thanks man:)
Wish you could do more videos again.... miss watching your skills.
you and the guys on the ground are so fast and efficient
Flawless 👍🏼
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!
The Full startup sequence bring tears to my eyes. Great video again, you make my day. Load with power is at 15:35 no ?
Did you mean settling with power?
@@UpsideDownWash yes, that what I meant. Excuse my English, I'm French 😋
Love your videos!!👍🏻👍🏻

@@UpsideDownWash Thanks! Haha, yeah after any surprises you're bound to take it slow. Good channel, keep it up

Right pedal left cyclic
Well you don't want to overtorqe😅

Awesome! Id love to try any of those 😊
I've been sending your longline training videos to a few of my friends that are trying to break I to the Utility industry. Thanks bro!🐾🚁✌️
@@mdpilot3772 oh that's super cool 😊👍
