This is absolutely awesome! I happened to stumble upon your videos from watching other instructional videos about flying and I really wish it had happened sooner. I'm a visual learner so while I understand the concepts to an extent from the books actually seeing them explained and in action is wonderful. I have about 30hrs. of intermittent training but had to stop due to expenses(not very surprising I'm sure). With all of that said please keep up the awesome work you're doing!
+Helicopter Online Ground School I saw you posted but its no longer here so I'm not sure if that's a youtube fluke however I'm still trying to get my helicopter training. I've since re-joined the military and I'm doing everything I can to be selected for flight training. Thanks for your support as well.

+Kevin Watkins Hello Kevin. I have sold hundreds of DVDs in the past. Problem is now we are building new training and updating old training weekly. There is no way to keep DVDs updated. With our online ground school any one of our members get the new or updated training videos the minute they are uploaded. We are a very small operation and with everything new we are building there is just not enough time for producing, creating and shipping DVDs. Thank you for your comment!
every video im amazed at how much similarity in mindset to operating trucks on the ground..trying to get in and out of places without destroying yourself and others...now throw in random idiots coming into your space from all angles at any time..as far as recon i can stop get out and walk to look around...gotta be thinking and looking around constantly...gotta know your aircraft and feel it in the seat...look once twice three times...
Hi. Thank you for this lesson. Its important for me to repeat the things i learned in flight school. I want your opinion on something. Our pc check airman at work have learned us to always do steep approaches. So i do my approaches roughly 1100feet per minute at 50 knots. Its because in case of an engine faliure I wil be able to reach my spot. When im getting close to my spot I bleed off the speed to stop the decent rate and apply power as needed to establish the helicopter in a high hover, mostly because we have a lot of winter operations with white out risk.
Don't understand confined area. Is the concern going straight up instead of forward and up? Is there some sort of shortage of clean Air in confined areas??

+agentorange153 Negative that is not what I am saying. On any given day, helicopter performance depends on make, model, air temperature, humidity, elevation, wind, load etc. What I am saying is on certain days depending on conditions is you may have to burn off fuel, off load excess weight, wait for better conditions, before you can have the available power to clear obstacles to depart a certain area! Thanks for your question.
I know I'll probably find this out during the course. But when weight is concerned such as for the Robinson R22, what should be my concerns or what should I look for when flying with friends. I'm 245, as you can probably tell from my photo. Most of my friend weight between 190-240; Does that effect the duration and distance of travel?
The useful load (weight between helicopter dry weight and max gross) is going to be 478 lbs on most R-22s. Fuel is 6 lbs / gallon. You have to have 20 min of fuel and then however much you need to get somewhere. The R-22 burns 9 gal / hr. Lets say you put 13 gallons in and plan a one hour flight with a friend....... 78 lbs of fuel, 245 lbs for you, and that means your friend better be 155 lbs or less. Best to be thinking R-44
What are you taking about clearing your tail???how are you doing that???????? Most helicopters you can’t do that without doing a peddle turn and if you have something you didn’t see you will know before you can see it

Hey if it was A 12E it didn’t have a Franklin it would be a UH12A or B or C The D And Es had Lycoming
Thank you great video
Thank you Danny I appreciate that!
really like your videos :) i wished you had your whole videos on a dvd! ever thought of that?

There are many different techniques taught!
Don't understand confined area. Is the concern going straight up instead of forward and up?
Is there some sort of shortage of clean Air in confined areas??
We want to avoid straight up when ever possible. Yes there can be most defiantly be a lack of clean air in a confined area! Thanks for commenting!
Stay put...
Thanks for commenting!

How do you tell where wind is from on some area in distance?
Aviation weather reports!
So what you're saying is, an EMS chopper can't hover with full tanks and a 400-lb patient on board, even in ground effect???

Helicopter Online Ground School: Wow... ok that makes perfect sense. So R44 should be my focus from here on out.
Absolutely
You are too big for a R22 even the R44 will only be a three place on a good day B206 might fit your flying
What are you taking about clearing your tail???how are you doing that???????? Most helicopters you can’t do that without doing a peddle turn and if you have something you didn’t see you will know before you can see it
Not sure what your talking about????? You can always check for obstacles in the direction your turning, don't make it too difficult
where do I click for 2 thumbs up?
