Thanks for putting these videos up. I’m just at the solo point of my add on rating after flying fixed wing for 40 years. Your style and content delivery is exactly what my learning style wants. You are also completely consistent with the FAA’s Helicopter Flying Handbook so it reinforces what I’m reading prior to watching your video. Thanks again!
2 years ago I commented on one of your videos, aspiring to be an Army aviator, I had questions about the SIFT. I start my last phase of CC and select next month. Thank you for the inspiration and information to help! Glad you're back! 🤙🏼
That's a beautiful thing. Where i study (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering) at East African Civil Aviation Academy. .. A pilot who gets the first solo is showered with dirty water and soil. You could have been showered too. Congratulations.
It is to symbolise that, in your new journey, many factors will bring bad energy (which is the soil or dirt) to you, it can come from poor maintenance of the aircraft, bad advise or many more. But then you have to receive all that and then wash them away - then stay focused.
High Recon- PWOT Pressure Altitude, Wind, Obstacles, Terrain Low Recon- FEEL Forced landing areas (on approach), Entry, Exit, Landing area Great Videos! Keep up the good work!
@HL10- That was a great big picture synopsis of the ADM for doing a confined area assessment and apprch. The one gem that really stuck out was your comment about making your decision to either go around or commit to your touch down point before losing ETL on the low recon.
Really loving your videos dude. Trying to soak up some of your teaching style while working on my CFI. In case you wanted another mnemonic for your toolbox, I learned the 5 S's and the 5 W's for area recon. Size, shape, slope, surface, sun, wind, wires, way in, way out, and wildlife.
I only just passed my GFT in the UK - basically it's the 5Ss - size shape surround slope surface, plus wires and people. Pressure Altitude isn't a great concern when our landscape looks as though it's been ironed!
Great video as always. It's not rocket science, the acronyms are a good way to actually vocalise howto pick a spot. Instead of just saying "eh, I'll put 'er down over there I guess".
Another great video. I just was reading this section a few days ago. Still requesting that slips and skids haha. Also I have ordered all the books you shared as well as some of my own. In one of the practice questions it states Q: What chart uses a 1:500,000 scale? A: sectional Aeronautical charts It further explains one should be familiar with low altitude VFR & IFR charts and their symbols. My question is Where in the FAA helicopter manual does it discuss this? I’m sure I’m overlooking but have yet to find it.

All I can add is how fun it is to be in a max performance takeoff rising above the treetops in an R-22 pretending for that moment you’re in an Apache....hope I’m not the only one
question regarding a steep takeoff & landing. as far i know in a confined area the best thing to do is vertically. cuze we should consider the (CDP) critical decision point or the commitment point, in case of single engine failure wether you rollout or land. but in a steep technique how to define the CDP???
I’ve actually got a video in the works for confined area takeoffs. Simply put, you need to establish some sort of abort point based on the type of landing. Short answer to your question: If you get a running start, the abort point is generally when you plan to need to get through ETL. For near vertical takeoffs it would be getting the appropriate altitude prior to moving over the trees.

Awesome! Congrats on making it through all the hurdles. Only few more before you pin your wings!
Did my first rotary solo this week. I expect confined work in my future very shortly so this video is of great timing.
Congrats

Congratulations.
@@apedorimusa4176 Thanks, is the covering with soil meant to be symbolic of being connected to the ground or something?

I come from EMS and we loooove our acronyms. I love that SWEEP acronym, it just stuck right into my brain. Thanks so much for this content!
High Recon- PWOT Pressure Altitude, Wind, Obstacles, Terrain
Low Recon- FEEL Forced landing areas (on approach), Entry, Exit, Landing area
Great Videos! Keep up the good work!
I like those acronyms. What reference are they from?
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 I picked it up from my Instructor in flight school. He used to serve in the USAF. I am not sure where he got it from.

I just started my rotary add-on about a month ago and am super happy that you started putting videos out again. Talk about good timing!

Haven’t heard of that one. Thanks for the feedback!

Currently in advanced helicopter training for the navy- your videos have helped me a ton, thank you for making them!

Exactly!
Doing recon for the WOTFEEL ! Wind - Obstacles - Turbulence/Terrain - Forced landing areas - Entry - Exit - Landing area.
Nice acronym. What’s it from?
Great video sir. Thank you for the information.
Another great video ' complete please . Can you describe about the basic maneuver flight
I was trained with WOPPS wind obstacles path in/out power surface.
Hi Jacob
Can you make an explanation of high terrain landing ?
How to choose direction,approach angle and etc.
Sure thing. I’ve got a mountain flying series in the works that will include all of that.
Keep em comin! Good stuff.
Shipboard landing? Is it a confined area landing or pinnacle operation landing?
You mention a descending decelerating turn - can you do a video where you explain that maneuver in more detail?
Sure thing.
Amazing!!

Google search the “FAA Aeronautical Chart Users' Guide.” It’s a free pdf that explains everything. Hope this helps!
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 Awesome thank you sir.

What do you do with these pieces of paper after the video?
Those sheets and my script notes get filed away in a paper basket in my basement until I find something better to do with them.
@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 your Book deal 👍
Already have the book made. Links in the video description 😎
Can you do a video on PPC table talk?
I’ll add the topic to the list. Thanks for the feedback!
Stupid question, what are some helpful techniques you find useful for pnvs/tads or do you just use known object size
Try to be at a full stop by the time the second bobup box saturates. That’ll help you get in tighter LZs
question regarding a steep takeoff & landing.
as far i know in a confined area the best thing to do is vertically. cuze we should consider the (CDP) critical decision point or the commitment point, in case of single engine failure wether you rollout or land. but in a steep technique how to define the CDP???

@@helicopterlessonsin10minut10 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
They don't teach a circling approach to confined area anymore?
"L" landings. Careful not to cause main Rotor strike on tree line.
