Bell 47G Ride Over Louisville, Kentucky 

The Bell 47 has always been one of my favorite helicopters.

@@KylesAviationChannel SAME here. I remember when they gave rides in these at Ports 'O Call Village (Los Angeles Harbor) in San Pedro, CA. 1970s.

@@KylesAviationChannel me too ! My first travel in a helicopter was is a bell 47 what a beautiful machine with his piston engine ! (Franklin or lycoming)

Thank you

yes i saw that too its shorting out. have the camera person put your go pro on wide angle view next time as well. thanks.

There’s a first time for everything right?

Thank you

Been a good many years since I instructed in a Bell 47 but the Rotor RPM is in sync with the engine thru the transmission by way of a sprag clutch that allows the rotor to freewheel in the event of a sudden stoppage of either component to provide autorotative capability. That RPM is critical for Deceleration and stop on touchdown. I am guessing that Green arc is the safety arc. If you'll notice they check the clutch to be sure the needles split on run up.

I don’t have the equipment for that at this time. I would like to include ATC and pilot audio in my videos.

That’s cool, is it an 8 week training program? I’m thinking about taking a discovery flight in it sometime this year.

@@KylesAviationChannel yeah, I've taken several lessons already in that very Helicopter with CFI Sam D.. N50SD
