As a flight school owner I feel I need to say that this instructors demeanor, professionalism, and knowledge in teaching techniques is fantastic. I would put him on staff immediately! Well done!
Dave, I completely agree.... He's calm, yet assertive when required. Gives the student some moral boosting info when required, to keep them focused. Fantastic job.
contrary to what it sounds, it actually means that there is no limit, the person can achieve anything he puts his mind to, the sky the universe is infinite
Thanks for posting all of these. I'm doing my first full hour lesson tomorrow morning, and I'm a little nervous. These videos help me to not overthink it.
@HelicopterTrainingVideos It went very well! My CFI even complimented me at the end! Waiting on my medical now (stupid ADHD) and I'm hoping to be back to it full time this fall/summer!
@HelicopterTrainingVideos Thanks for the tip! I got some books that were recommended to me, "Cyclic and Collective," "Helicopter Flying Handbook," and "Fatal Traps for Helicopter Pilots."
Notice the instructor even times his commands a little in advance to give the student time to react before he (the instructor) steps in to compensate/correct. The professionals make it look easy, but this video shows just how much a pilot has to pay attention to. It's non-stop. Great upload, thank you for giving us a glimpse, and good luck to the student!
Identify by sight - a quick glance is all. Usually only downwind at a towered airport, but they will specify when to report. All the best with your training & please keep us posted on your progress!
I am not a helicopter pilot but have PPL for SEL (Cessna 172). Very impressed with CFI in this video. Very conducive atmosphere for learning, lots of good verbal instruction and makes it fun. If I lived in Bend would be at your FBO with checkbook. Keaton, I think you are a natural. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks for your reply- my instructor is great yet she doesn't want me filming my flights any more- I was finding the videos very helpful which sucks not to have them to review..trying to persuade her otherwise..ps- I'm also a fellow Brit living in the US..
I watched your introduction to the controls of the Helicopter vid and was rather disappointed that you hadn’t watched it back and redone the bits where you made lots of errors. I was going to hit don’t recommend but thought I’d watch a few minutes of this. Your instructing style is most impressive, completely different to the tech vid - you’re in your element in this vid and it shows. I have flown with a few different instructors over the years (fixed wing) and the best ones are the ones who teach the way you do: calm, knowledgable, five steps ahead with clear situational awareness, clear in instruction 👍👍
This video is so well done (chapters shortcuts included!) i gotto try doing these moves on X-plane after watching these circuits for so long :) Never realized how close it is to airplane, as far as the glidepath is concerned for these "glide & goe-s"
Yeah that comes from lots of practice between flights and listening to the radio. You can do the same at home on your phone/computer using Live ATC - www.liveatc.net
Thank you for this detailed video, very nice to watch what control does what. I'm no pilot but if I asked myself the question "to be or not to be", then this video would pull me across the line in becoming one.
Excellent footage of a well done training session in the agile little bird that is the Robinson R22!🚁 Thanks for sharing & greetings from the Norwegian South West Coast! 👍 🏆 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Firstly that is the best piece of instruction I have ever come across so hats off to you, I was so into it I only realised the clip was soo long was I got to like 47 minutes. Secondly at the end you had to wait for temp to come down, why is that? if you don't wait what happens? I have come across other videos where the pilots just switch off and out the door in few?
Fantastic instruction and well done student. I was with you taking the control with you al the way. Thanks.Hope to fly a heli some day too. Eugene in Ireland
Great Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (google it)? It is a good exclusive guide for how to get pilot license minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my GF after many years got great success with it.
Cheers for the video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (just google it)? It is a good exclusive product for how to get pilot license minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.
Less than halfway through the video... and I think I’m ready for “real life GTA”, lol Joking aside... I’d say this student showed noticeable improvement already on the second time around the pattern.
Great video! Even more excited to meet with the flight instructor this weekend to get more info on taking a flight course to get a helicopter licence! You sound and look like a great instructor and this gives great idea of what I hope to expect if I decide to go through with the course! Very much looking forward to this! Thanks again for sharing!!!
Hey Peter, glad to have helped. Your project is fantastic! It stirred some great, forgotten memories as I skimmed over some of your content. I am curious - what is your favorite Helicopter sim?
@@HelicopterTrainingVideos Thank you! All time favourite is Enemy Engaged Comanche vs. Hokum www.migman.com/sw/enemy-engaged-comanche-hokum Currently enjoying Take on Helicopters www.migman.com/sw/take-on-helicopters/articles.php
@@HelicopterTrainingVideos Oh boy, that is great feedback, thanks! I thought the sim's lack of cues in the inner ear (acceleration & orientation) must make it harder to do the basics, great to have confirmation.
ok.. that's it.. I've gotta save up a bunch of money for helicopter lessons.. that looks like it would be so cool.. so much fun and nerve wracking at the same time (at first).. but it looks like something I could do and would love to do. being an in-flight instructor on the other hand.. that's gotta be super high stress level.. I suppose you have to have a really good feel for how things can go wrong and how quickly.. and how much room for error you have.
wow the kid did really well. .. a little video game-ish on the controls but he did really well. a little more airspeed on the turns down wind and hes got it.
Pretty good, when right pedal turning; keep on left slightly for control ( this is for myself more). Would be nice to click a toggle for hover. Could talk a bit slower for older people. Much different from fighter copter game where you control the collective (up/down).
I have a question related to the "downdraft wind power" of a hovering helicopter. There are wildfires all over the world every year. SOME structures are destroyed by those wildfires either because the fire crews can't get close enough to them before they catch fire, or the fires are so high and dangerous that nobody can even enter the area from the ground at all until the wind has died down or the fires have subsided. My question is this: How well could hovering helicopters put out fires before they get to be too high and fierce to fight? Let's say that a group of helicopters (6-10) are brought in from across the regional area (TV news helicopters, military helicopters, chemical spraying helicopters, etc. etc. etc). They're instructed to travel to a specific area, arrange themselves into a line that's about 200 yards long, and just hover there waiting for the fire to reach them where they are. Eventually there will be enough downdraft wind power to blow the fire back over the area that has already burned. Since the helicopters are hovering the fire CAN'T advance farther into untouched areas. Even if individual helicopters hover over individual structures, the downdraft wind power coming from the moving rotors of the helicopter will prevent the fire from burning that structure. Would that concept work if enough authorities were willing to try it?
r5t6y12 The purpose of the hovering helicopters would NOT BE to prevent the ground from catching fire. I used to think that all wildfires are bad. I have since been "educated" that they are good for various reasons. But losing ANY STRUCTURES (most especially houses and barns) are not good. My question is for the sake of letting the forest burn while saving EVERY STRUCTURE THAT EXISTS ANYWHERE. Is that concept possible? I hope so. (8^)
r5t6y12 One video that can be watched to demonstrate my point is called "medic chopper spectacular landing" by The andersN. That video shows exactly what I'm talking about. (except that any helicopter would stay above the building that the video is being filmed from rather than getting that close to the ground).
Know all about wake turbulence. Got caught in the tailend of a Beech King Air who was coming in on an IFR approach and ATCA forgot to inform me of wake turbulance ahead. Least I am alive to tell the tell

Dave Sowards where are you located
The instructor's accent is an interesting mix of British and American. Cool video
Thank you! Yep middle-English accent with a few years living in the US
How I miss this. A fixed wing guy myself but just watching and listening to this circuit work gets me excited. What great memories :)
A GREAT instructor! There is a dozen things at the same time, with several hours more and more, the better you get.
good luck to all future aircraft pilots, sky's the limit!!!
contrary to what it sounds, it actually means that there is no limit, the person can achieve anything he puts his mind to, the sky the universe is infinite

Super cool to realize at the beginning that this is just a few miles away here.
Wonderful Central Oregon!
i can tell that is definitely your first lesson, but you actually did exceptionally well for a first lesson!
Great flying by the student and radio callouts
Yeah he did well
I think I have found my love flying. I have subscribed I got goose bumps just watching.
That is fantastic! I wish you all the best making it happen!

Why don't you clarify the errors, you might prevent serious injuries, accident or mistakes to avoid. Your info really matters.

The purpose of the hovering helicopters would NOT BE to prevent the ground from catching fire. I used to think that all wildfires are bad. I have since been "educated" that they are good for various reasons.
But losing ANY STRUCTURES (most especially houses and barns) are not good.
My question is for the sake of letting the forest burn while saving EVERY STRUCTURE THAT EXISTS ANYWHERE.
Is that concept possible? I hope so. (8^)

One video that can be watched to demonstrate my point is called "medic chopper spectacular landing" by The andersN.
That video shows exactly what I'm talking about. (except that any helicopter would stay above the building that the video is being filmed from rather than getting that close to the ground).
r5t6y12 Good idea, but I think the recirculation of the air would would probably spread embers and make things worse.
It looks like he was checking his muscles
