Diversions, Forced Approaches, and Landing on a Rock 

That's awesome, I'm glad you are here and watching. Thanks for the support.

Matt Holman ...there's always helicopters in xplane 11 for us poor folk☺

Thanks, good to know people like a little more detail. I'll try to throw that in every once in a while. Thanks for watching.

of course, good luck with building your channel

Thanks

Thanks that's really nice of you. It takes a long time to grow a channel. Slowly but surely. Help spread the word. Share it on Facebook.

ill make sure that i do! keep up the good work

+Elipes_ thanks

Elipes_ chopper videos don’t for some reason, I don’t understand it but this is the best copter channel on RU-vid I’ve seen so far

Thanks

Ok so the engine only has enough power to keep the blades spinning up to a certain altitude. Because the air gets thinner as you get higher, it takes more pitch angle on the blades to get the same amount of lift. When the helicopter gets too high the engine just simply can't keep the blades spinning fast enough. When the blades start to slow down you lose lift and starts sinking. We call this "over pitching". That's when you know you are too high to land. We can do checks for that before we land to make sure we are ok.

This is a Schweizer S300 CBi helicopter. It's what we are currently using as our main training helicopter. We are making a transition however over to the new Guimbal Cabri G2 helicopter which we are super excited about.

that's so awesome! I wanna be a pilot in the near future and you're videos inspire me. I can't stop watching them! soo cool keep it up

Awesome man I'm so glad to hear that. Keep it up and if you follow your dream I know you can make it happen. Maybe I'll get a chance to meet you someday.

Matt hey wow that's fantastic. Where are you doing your training in the Cabri? I know you'll love it. We are excited about getting into it as well. Ya the urge to just hang out all day is pretty tough to resist. Just a busy schedule keeping me from it. Sometimes I get lucky and have a charter or something up there and I get to just hang out and wonder around. Also sometimes with students we have a bit of extra time in the day so we shut down and explore. Pretty awesome though.

I'll be flying out of south Louisiana. VERY flat land mind you, but I've been flying fixed wing here for years and its super exciting to transition into rotor craft. Hoping to start my uphill battle and finally open the door to a long career. Any chance you have at exploring those areas are a gift, be safe and enjoy!

Matt hey ya I'm sure you will love it. Have fun man.

In the Schweizer depending on the temperature and the weight we are loaded to, sometimes we don't have enough power to get up there. The wind gives us extra lift.

sirus312 yes you can take our course. There is no problem at all. You are able to come to Canada as a visitor for up to 6 months without a visa. Our course is only 4 months long. Once you have the Canadian licence you can convert to the US license as long as you meet the hour requirements.

Great thank you for all your videos/comments and insight. One of the best channels I have viewed! Everyone I shared with said the same. Keep up the great work.

sirus312 wow thanks a lot. That is super kind of you to say. I'm just really glad to have super awesome support from people like you. Thanks again for watching.
