Mountain Flying Rotary Wing (English)

- Video made to help Rotary-wing pilots understand the basics of mountain flying. This is part of private pilot training in many countries but was overlooked in New Zealand for many years, because they are so sure their training is world class they wouldn't bother looking around to see how others do it. After years of recording accidents resulting from not applying basic common sense during mountain flying, the NZ CAA decided in 2011 to incorporate some kind of theory into their PPL syllabus and made this very good quality video. Those who understand best mountain flying are sailglider pilots, and as usual there isn't a word about them in this video, showing that powered aircraft pilots keep reinventing the wheel. The best training a powered aircraft pilot could get would be to go to the nearest sailglider club and do some hours, instead of spending more fuel to get some very limited mountain flying experience using his Cessna to cross a few valleys. The mountain flying syllabus now part of the NZ PPL is going to be delivered by...powered aircraft instructors, usually themselves young and pretty inexperienced, and most of them having no experience in mountain flying, so even if the NZ CAA is showing good intentions, in the end it is a lot of gesticulating: just put some sailglider flying into your aviation life. The video is very well put together nonetheless and the quality of the images in this beautiful scenery is making the film worth watching.
You must have been born with an in depth abundabce of knowledge about how winds flow around mountains in all types of temuratures and pressure differentials
A very useful video,the sharing of specialist knowledge such as this can only improve safety,the varied situations that mountain flying presents needs to have the utmost care in practise and execution witht hese invalueable skillful instructors,I would not like to auto rotate into some of that hostile environment or even put down any fixed wing aircraft for that matter given the chances of a smooth landing.
Great video, thank you
+sbFIFTY9 that;s really good info to know
mounntain flying it can be really dangarous
i know all about then
im a flight simulator pilot
I realize Im kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online ?
@Clay Emery i watch on flixzone. Just google for it =)
at 16:57 it says ''as the rotor is less efficient at high density altitude the power required will increase.'' But at 19:47, it says ''as long as weight and conditions remain the same, a similar indicated power setting will be required no matter what altitude the next landing site is at, a common misunderstanding is that more power will be require a hover at a higher altitude.'' That make me really confuse about the power requirement.
that's really good to know
that;s really good info to know
excellent video!!
This is an awesome video and great training aid for those of us who weren't born knowing everything like Sloppy Jalopy
What does ENG, in the title of the video mean? I figured out these: PPL - Private Pilots License, CPL - Commercial Pilots License and NZ CAA - Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand. (Too bad that people publishing on the internet aren't mindful that decoding acronyms is a common courtesy and good practice to follow.)
great video
Mountain flying in a heli 🚁 does it get much better??
