Welcome to my personal RU-vid channel-a space where I showcase my travel escapades, explore breathtaking destinations, and introduce you to the fascinating individuals I encounter during my journeys.
Now that you mentioned it… there are no wipers on this 505. The down wash from the blades plus our forward motion cleared the wind shield as soon we were airborne. Thanks for the comment.
magaling na VFR rated si Capt. Ed...yung pilot ni Kobe although VFR rated na lito sa thick clouds dito sa Calabasas, Ca. norht of los angeles county o norlth nang Santa Monica. ca. kase minsan merong talagang ganung condition at me marine layer pa kaya ayun tragic talaga...sige ma nga boss enjoy kayo dyan. !
Thanks for the comment... yan din yong advantage ng modern technology ng Garmin glass cockpit, my synthetic vision na plus terrain avoidance pa on top of pilot experience. Agree that what happened to Kobe was tragic.
Nice view of the city but I'm not sure about flying a helicopter over it at about 300 feet - too low to autorotate if the engine went, and anyway hardly anywhere to put it down. 1500+ feet is the normal altitude for flying over cities or towns and would give some chance of landing in an engine failure situation..
Thank you for the comment...I agree with everything you said... but (there is a but), this helicopter route was in our flight plan and with strict instruction from the tower to stick to the helicopter route, parts of this route passes under the glide slope of commercial flights on final for runway 24 of the Manila airport. We had to notify the tower prior to crossing and report after we have crossed. I don't have specifics for this rule, but this close to the airport, over a populated area, the control tower would have chewed our ass off if we where wrong. Just to add a little bit of info to my reply... we were more concerned with colliding with consumer drones. Let me find out more from Captain Ed. In future video's, I will try to include audio from the tower as well.
@@adventuresbygary Yes, ATC can do that and they have their reasons, but if the engine goes....! And drones too! I worked out of an office in Makati City a long time ago, we had mineral exploration projects near Legazpi and one of our geologists actually flew over the Mayon volcano and landed inside the crater, so there are even more dangerous trips out there. Many thanks for posting the video.
Sorry for the very late reply… yes, the road is passable at night. There is also a by-pass road around the mountain for heavier vehicles and those who prefer a more flat route… as oppose to a zigzag up and over the mountain experience. It’s beautiful to see during the day time.
Hi Jun, the flight took the route along Manila Bay, passed by Mall of Asia towards the Airport... I wanted to show one of the usual route Helicopters follow on the way to the Airport. My next RU-vid short upload would be the continuation that would show the landing at the Airport. Thanks for the comment.
not hidden but i had a clip adapter that was attached to my backpack strap with the camera mounted on it facing forward. You could easily miss the camera coz my hands was on my side.
haha... Hey Jody... 21st century magic. Check it out. The 360 overlaps at that meeting point parallel to the width of the camera body... just enough overlap that the thin stick disappears. You will love it.
its all that farm land... trying to get permission from the airline to allow me to use a suction cup on the window so i don't have to hold the camera steady for the whole flight.
Jebus! Seems like the runway taxi took longer than the actual flight 😆 strangely empty airport for so many planes, is there another bump in COVID cases?
Hey Jody... its one of those airports that has 4 terminals spread out, just takes longer to go to the take off runways. the terminal looks empty coz I was the first one out of the aircraft... row 1 with no luggage.
Congratulations, Gary! Nice one. I always wanted to do something like this but with a spiritual twist. Problem is, I am not techie enough to figure out how to edit. Continued blessings to you! Keep it coming!
