I'm studying for the SIFT and came across this. I come from the Marine Corps' Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and we use those to this day! How many did the Army purchase in the 70s'????
Weird. Over a week ago I specifically searched for videos like this. I even used "Blackhawk Startup" and "helicopter startup" as search terms and almost nothing showed up. This video definitely didn't. Now, over a week after my unsuccessful search, this video suddenly, randomly pops up in my "recommended for you" list. Those UA-cam algorithms are wonky.
i see being a crewchief hasn't changed much since i flew hueys. a lot of waiting for atc bs. filling in the paperwork while waiting for takeoff. miss those days.
They actually have the ability to use runways as well. Sometimes when with a heavy load, the higher forward velocity helps to a certain degree to help the helicopter to produce more lift. On some helicopters like the Mi-24 hind taking off with a runway when it has a heavy load the lift the small wings make can be up to 20% of the total amount of it. Helicopter aerodynamics is a fascinating topic to learn about.
@@WHATSAHANDLEIDKIDK with a name like yours I felt you knew but with the cyclic full forward and a small bit of lift applied with the collective it will just taxi forward but not take off.
14:08 I was like Pen yo, don't forget the pen! 14:09 all articles intact. 14:12 satisfactory proper stow away. Outstanding work chief. I love the footage. Keep it up. You guy stay safe out there.
I wish we had phones with video cameras built in to them when I crewed the first Black Hawks to replace Hueys. We never thought there would be iPhones and such. Plus, cameras were not allowed at the airfield. Everything was a fucking secret. We needed top secret clearance to be crew chiefs! The thing that has me confused is the video that brought me here. " How to pre-flight a Black Hawk". I used to do a more thorough inspection called a "daily" inspection. The pilots did a pre-flight inspection. I never saw a pilot do an inspection like that video. Most just called me by name, did a walk around and asked me if everything looked good to go. Some did go up to look at things, but they were pilots that weren't in my unit and were just trying to log time in the new Black Hawks. What do the Crew Chiefs do nowadays? I know they have laptops instead of log books. The laptops are assigned to the aircraft, but none have assigned Crew Chiefs? How does a Crew Chief get to know his bird if he never flies the same one all the time? I used to live on my bird. I knew every minute detail of that bird. Everything except what you cannot see inside the black boxes, which two failed on me at different times. Only the skill of the pilots saved our asses, auto rotating safely to ground both times. Many crews were killed in those first days. The bird would just loop over and fly into the ground or do a roll into the ground. The other elastomeric bearings would fail and a main rotor would go flying off on its own and another bird would crash and kill another crew. The public never heard about these incidents. I'm sure the families got that visit from officials telling them the bad news. It sure made me miss my Huey. I guess we were working out the bugs for future models and crews.
preflights are just walkthroughs, and short versions of dailys you do the daily after the last flight or 7 days. apparently pilots are supposed to preflight but that’s unit dependent, mine CEs do the preflights and scrub the books the green ones n the computer the computer has all the birds and you kinda know all the acft because u fly on all of them eventually
@@cmdrarc1869 I’m just curious about how they do it today compared to how we maintained and inspected the first generation Black hawks. Can you elaborate on the last part of your comment just a bit? I spoke to a BH Crew Chief at a static display the last time the 82nd had 82nd week at Bragg. He told me there were no more green log books with the Crew Chiefs name on it, and two sided red and black pencils were a thing of the past. And it was all done on an iPad type of thing now. You mentioned a CE. What is that? And how does a Crew Chief get to know all the particulars of every bird in his unit? For instance, we had seven Black Hawks straight from the factory. We were issued one each. There were so many hourly inspections due that we would be on a training mission, for instance, and have to stop and check the particle separators every ten hours. Are you a pilot or crew chief? So, the way you describe it, a Crew Chief has to get to know all the birds in his unit, as accurately and intimately as I had to know my “A” model? I know they have made improvements over the years, but it seems to me that one Crew Chief cannot be as connected/knowledgeable to the little idiosyncrasies of all the birds in his unit as efficiently as one Crew Chief would be to one bird in his unit. I was in 1/17th Abn Air Cav, C-Trp, lift Plt. One Crew Chief, one bird. Every day, after formation, I would head straight out to “my” bird with the first of the stack of manuals and read and inspect, read and inspect. This had nothing to do with a daily inspection. It was purely a deep dive into every aspect of the aircraft I was issued. So, I’m not sure what unit you are in, if it’s Army wide or unit specific that each aircraft has no assigned Crew Chief. It just seems weird to me that a Crew Chief should have to know all the details and potential failures of all the Black Hawks in his Squadron.
@@johnbrady1211 I’m a crewchief in RL progression RL2 right now. I’m ARNG and we have mikes and limas. we still have a green log book with the hitchecks the 365-4s and maybe some other form I don’t remember. CE is crewchief don’t know what the E stands for maybe crew engineer? so we check the 365-4 make sure that’s within the 90 day window and then we scrub the books on the computer, scrubbing for me is looking for major maintenance and deficiencies and if anything is going to red x the acft and make it not FMC. preflight it and brief pilots before flight. we don’t have assigned acft and neither does the RL1 CEs we hop on different birds each day and scrub it that day. we do PMDs for that specific one we flew on or if we short stff we pretty much PMD all of them 🤷🏻♂️ then we do 40 hours or 90s on which ever ones need it so all the CEs work on all of them so it’s not assigned specifically to one CE and in briefs or through other CEs they’ll be like i flew on 123 yesterday and it had damper seepage or watever monitor it or no1 hydraulic was replaced the other day look for any leaks or something. so im not sure if it’s a unit thing. we have FIs on the active side come teach us and they would teach us things differently so 🤷🏻♂️
@@cmdrarc1869 Hey, I appreciate you getting back to me in such a short time. I'm 67 now and was flown to the Sikorsky factory in Connecticut to help pick up a flight of the first "A" model Black Hawks when I was 26. So its been a long time. I have crewed other aircraft if the assigned "CE" (I reckon that does mean Crew Engineer) was not available. But not until I went over it, in the time I had before takeoff, with a fine tooth comb. Out of seven birds, three sometimes four were red-x'ed at any one time. It seems the other CE's were younger and not as motivated to keeping their birds from falling out of the sky. It also had to do with notices coming from the factory with recalls and upgrades. It just seemed more efficient to concentrate on one bird. That's not to say I didn't help keep every BH in the Troop fully mission capable. It was just generally known that these new birds would have bugs to be worked out and we were the crash test dummies that had to do it. We also had the factory reps there for technical support. I just think it's so much better to have a bird assigned to a Crew Chief who knows the minute details, than a Crew Chief willy nilly assigned to a bird he's not familiar with. I used to be able to tell a pilot what the tolerance any bearing on any flight control rod end was, because I had a dial indicator out there every other day checking and making sure nothing was going outside of the tolerance stated in manual #1. But that's just my opinion. If your SOP works for your flight group, all the better. It's been a long time and I miss talking tech with other BH Crew Chiefs. Best regards, John...
fyi for all the people commenting on slow start up they did single engine starts following the check list if emergency duel engine start ups going start to"fly" are much faster
Please, can we use footage from your UA-cam channel for our videos about military cars, trucks a other machines? We tag your channel as a source ,... thank you. :)
when i crewed hueys we had to do what's called a "hover taxi", (a low alt movement to move us around. usually no more than 5 ft off the ground). you had to "taxi" to a specific spot to fly out from. some civ airports won't let helos takeoff from a runway.
Hovering burns about 800-1000 lbs of fuel an hour, taxi'ing burns about 400-500 lbs per hour. It's also just a habit to not pick up until you're closer to the runway to minimize any chance of blowing things around on the ramp or wherever. Blackhawks aren't the biggest helicopters, but they are still 16,000 lbs with just gas and crew, which will put out a lot of downwash. Plus taxi'ing is just easier and takes less concentration.
@@Oooonumbers Blackhawks are very easy to hover and damn near fly themselves. The newer 'Mike' model has auto-hover and electronic vibration dampening. This was a UH-60Q which is the dedicated med-evac version.
Unless you want to piss off ATC and go direct, you might want to give em a purpose and taxi for a little bit...makes em feel better inside when dealing with a helicopter!
Wow! That is not the seating arrangement or seating hardware we had in the 80's. We sat directly behind the co-pilot facing aft and I always climbed in and out through the wheel window. The aft cargo doors were for patients. :) We also did not have sliding windows on the cargo door. Where's the patient carousel?
In real life (in my time) pre-flight was done beginning of shift and we ran like the devil to get in the air when called. We're Dustoff not some slow to respond USAF Rescue unit that needs a full blown ground briefing, power cart and special invite to fly.
@@244thMeekrob Army was not offering 15T training for the next year. Next available training is this coming April I couldn't go because I dont graduate college until end of April.
The "green Book" as we call it maintains aircraft data such a Weight/Balance forms, HIT(Health Indicator Test) sheets, etc. In this case, the crewchief and pilots are performing a HIT on both #1 and #2 engines prior to flight, ensuring that prior recording of this test do not deviate to the point were internal engine damage might be indicated during the test.
Startup Procedures takes a long time to ensure the safety of the crew and the aircraft prior to flight. Avionics check, comm's check, weather check ATIS, stabilator check, flight controls check, engine startup #1, engine startup #2, Hydraulics check, prep for departure (Crewchief has to take care of chalks, PAC, and cargo as required). Then, if this is the first run up of the day, then they have to perform a HIT (Health Indicator Test) on the engines, max torque check, and that takes a while to perform. If everything checks out, then ground control/ATC will have to be contacted for movement approval within the ground/airspace till frequency change approval. Of course, what I just explained is over simplified but should give you an idea why it takes so long. Unfortunately, flying a aircraft its not like turning on a key on a car and driving off.
The usage of fire extinguishers in this aircraft is definitely for personal use. SOP dictates the usage and it varies from unit to unit of course. In this case, the crewchief is not wrong to have it out with him, and its SOP driven anyways. I can tell you this because I use to crew and maintain aircrafts from this exact unit. Have a great day!
@@LILRASCAL1142 I thought it may have been the full non combat routine - what was a surprise was opening of the covers and hands on pipes/joints. However when its instruction it really has to be the real Mccoy. Instruction on a combat basis is maybe equal in essential know how - I would hope you guys get some before postings. Be Safe.
@@Kimaru1557 To be clear and per the -10, simultaneous engine start by APU is limited to around 20C free air temp, regardless of density altitude which is also a factor.
For a point of you start up of a Blackhawk and take off this shows absolutely nothing about the procedure for starter it didn't show the APU being started it didn't show setting the fuel pumps it didn't show the start percentage or 4 engine 1 then for engine to it did not show unlocking the tail wheel it did not show anything in my opinion this video should have been done much better.

Why are there holes on the cockpit doors? Is it for crew self defense?
If you're referring to the circles on the windows those are air vents.
Is this 15t?
All the dislikes are from the Taliban getting confused
Wassup tali’s enjoy the equipment 🤪♌️
Is this JFTB Los Alamitos?
Looks like it. Separate front and back nine on the golf course and NWS Seal Beach across the 405 freeway.
It for sure is been there to many times to not recognize it😂
Looks like it.

What's is the purpose of the cable that is attached to the cameraman? Thanks for the fascinating videos!
So he can communicate with the pilots...
50' ICS cable, its for communications and to ensure youre far enough away to have a cigarette...
Avnsteve Ok 😂
Haha who are the pilots Landry??

Looks like California been to the base quite a bit
Did you check droops?
I hope they are out after 100%RPM lmao
@@snailedEJ1 watch for droops 'out and even' when advancing from idle to fly and visa versa. Ever seen one get stuck? Makes for a messy shut down.
Taliban: oh yes yes halcupter 😀👌🏽
POV: You’re the taliban trying to learn how to fly a Blackhawk helicopter
Allah thanks you 👳🏻♂️🙌
Hopefully this was not an emergency
I can feel the vibration and smell the fuel. 🥴
I miss that sound
И что за бардак у вас в авиации? Этот кабель так и будет весь полёт на полу лежать?
POV You UH-60 Black Hawk🦅 Helicopter🚁 S-70 Battle Hawk🦅 Helicopter🚁
For a point of you start up of a Blackhawk and take off this shows absolutely nothing about the procedure for starter it didn't show the APU being started it didn't show setting the fuel pumps it didn't show the start percentage or 4 engine 1 then for engine to it did not show unlocking the tail wheel it did not show anything in my opinion this video should have been done much better.
Taliban watching this like 👁️👄👁️
(Taliban search history)
The zombies are coming to the black hawk.. Hurry up to fly 😜
Well there goes the starter YAWN ok there goes the ignition YAWN ok engine in full effect! Finally! Go get it!! JK everyone I was a medivac crew chief. = )
I'd swear that was los Alamitos....
Apu is running

Bird is literally brand new , and the crew chief puts his foot on the window rim??
The only thing new about these birds is a fresh paint job.
Brand New? These fuckers have been beating the sky since 1979
