It's so cool but I'm always confused the more advanced the aircraft becomes the more and more gauges and switches there are. does this mean in the future it will be entirely covered with gauges and switch's as we advance in technology? If we make cars more advanced, will we have hundreds of gauges and switches and a prestart routine?
Remember... this is mid 80's Technology at work here. As with many older aircraft, one can upgrade Gauges and such, but today's new helicopters like the 429 have Glass touchscreens and computer controlled Fuel mixtures that make it much easier to start. Still have to pilot the thing, though! 😁🚁
Great helicopter, but I wouldn't fly with this guy. He spends way too much time f'ing with that GPS and ipad and not paying attention to what's outside. I realize they're on the coast, but there could be something coming at them from the side.
@@aviationstationmedia Plus, the retractable wheels could sometimes jam in place, which happened a few times during the filming of airwolf, so more practical as well.
@@rangerfontana591 There are however this is the Bell 222UT which has skids and not retractable landing gear, so there are no indicator light or gear lever because it doesn't requite them.
