Join us on a flight in the amazing MD500 E helicopter, on a windy spring day in the UK, as we take off from Denham, practice landing in a confined area, work on some quick stops, and then head back home. The aircraft was built in 1989 and is fitted with the Rolls Royce 250C20B engine. The aircraft has some other modifications which we run through in the video!
We hope you enjoy the flight- it was filmed using a Garmin VIRB XE camera- link below!

AB Helicopters,,, I’m ready to see more content on the MD-500

@ABHelicopters Месяц назад

Hey there ! Hope you are well, it’s been a while since the last 500 video, hope to have a few up later this month

@marcusmaximus451 2 месяца назад

Superb flying you are an excellent pilot 🚁

@ABHelicopters 2 месяца назад

Thanks but there is always something new to learn, something you can improve on with every flight !!

@adrianoventura7378 3 года назад

The first helicopter I had contact was a Hughes 500C when I was 15 days old. I really love this thing. I became a pilot but I have never flown a 500. It's a dream I want to fulfill. This is a great chopper.

@ABHelicopters 3 года назад

It’s a great ‘pilot’ machine - and I am sure it will live up to your expectations when you finally get your hands on one!

@qs0176 4 года назад

I remember flying as a kid in these things and just looking out the front window brings back memories! The smell of the fuel and everything, I would love to do this again

@animasperdidas2513 2 года назад

The tail number made me laugh! Great reference there haha

@btheath294 5 лет назад

As stated before, thanks for the entertainment. Hopefully one day, we will meet in person.

AB Helicopters Ltd. I like the high skid gear! My dad years ago had a Hughes 500C and before that, s Hughes 300C. The Hughes 500C was flown over power lines for weed control. And the Hughes 300C was used the same thing.

@ABHelicopters 2 года назад

Hi there William, thank you for the comment - yes the 500 is a great bit of kit, very versatile! The 300 has its uses too, through not as many and obviously not as fast or as powerful as it’s older brother!!

Love watching the evolution of your outstanding videos. Keep them coming..... Keith Brandt

@hroberts7283 9 месяцев назад

Loved flying and flying in 500/ Oh6a's

@ABHelicopters 9 месяцев назад

They are great ‘pilots aircraft’ ! Responsive and nimble, plus, at least in the conditions I was operating in, had with plenty of surplus power !

@DocRockTheDj 3 года назад

Oh yeah!!!! Close to perfect video. It was nice seeing the guages and track. ( And the cockpit chatter) ..wish that Robbie hadn't photo bombed the liftoff.🤣😂. Nice video, great flying! Thanks for letting us sit in the "back seat"

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

The confined area landing is the most challenging but very small short correction on the controls

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

It was a very windy day

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

Great flying by your student and I love every flight

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

Great Cyclic controlling and using the collective controls very smooth and always the anti- Torque pedal controls

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

I’ll pass your comments on

@TransferAir 4 года назад

Another cool video I really enjoyed watching it!. Now I know what I wanna do at first when I travel to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Definitely a flight with the MD500 🚁👍🏼‼️

@ABHelicopters 4 года назад

They are a great aircraft to fly - very responsive and lots of spare power !

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

Great to be back in the right seat again going through the starting up checks

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comment and the following Bernard!

@plane8462 5 лет назад

Years ago I worked at a small county airport in Ohio, in my 6 years at that job I flow or went for a ride in 36 different type's of aircraft . three of them were helos ,the500 D was the most fun I ever had...... That saying a lot

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

36 Types is very impressive!!!

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

@adrianoventura7378 3 года назад

Great video!

@ABHelicopters 3 года назад

Thank you

@swanoflove6833 2 года назад

@ABHelicopters 2 года назад

Like anything - if you put your mind to it and practice, it becomes much easier !!

@bernardanderson7569 5 лет назад

Great to see you Andrew,, I would love to be the student

@royalcityjazz 8 месяцев назад

8:30 I found myself puckering a bit seeing all the wind in the trees during the confined area landing. Wow, that's flying.

@ABHelicopters 8 месяцев назад

It was tight , certainly, but the 500 is a great , nimble and manoeuvrable machine which gives the pilots confidence to land in tight spaces

@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254 5 месяцев назад

Excelente.

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Never a dull moment at Denham! Thanks for the kind words though - as ever , any feedback or suggestions for improvements are welcome!

@agustinenzoa4447 4 года назад

Is this an updated version of the Loach the US Army operated in the Vietnam war in '69?

@stuartetheridge 4 года назад

I was just about to do my QXC when the lockdown came. Hopefully will have the rest of the course done by the end of the summer. Then the MD500 type rating is a goal.

@ABHelicopters 4 года назад

I’m sure you will settle back into it quickly - fingers crossed for you ! What were you learning on for your PPL?

@stuartetheridge 4 года назад

@@ABHelicopters thanks, yes hopefully. I'm just flying the R22 at the moment but I am a fixed wing instructor who flies a range of types from the Cirrus to a 1943 T6 so I have always been pretty progressive with my flying. Naturally I don't expect to jump from the Robinson to the 500 in an easy step but I believe in setting goals. The obvious turbine would be the 66 of course but who wants to be obvious!

@ABHelicopters 4 года назад

The 500 is a perfectly reasonable step from pistons to turbine world. Along with the Bell206, often, they are not substantially more expensive than a piston powered R44 , and given your experience on a range of fixed wing aircraft the additional gauges to monitor in a turbine helicopter (eg Turbine outlet temp, N1 , torque) should not increase your workload dramatically, especially in comparison to a T6!

@stuartetheridge 4 года назад

AB Helicopters Ltd thanks for the advice. I will maybe drop you a line for a proper chat soon.

@ABHelicopters 4 года назад

Stuart Etheridge Anytime- happy to help!

@tflahant 5 лет назад

My local field, I used to be on the "red" helicopter that flew out of there ;)

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Which field ?

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Ah - the hems one?

@chaddytee726 5 лет назад

I would really like to get my heli ticket, this would be awsome, just need to commit.

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Let us know if you have any questions and we can try and answer them before you dive in!

@dash8brj 3 года назад

Me too - I've been up in one and I'm a natural (robinson R44) but this guy is lucky! MD 500!! I so hate him!!!! Some nice flying there :)

@ABHelicopters 4 года назад

Hello Robert - how do you mean?

@56hueycobra 5 лет назад

What’s the Big Piece Of Sheet Metal On Top Of the Instrument Panel For?

@ABHelicopters 5 лет назад

Do you mean the glare shield or the iPad mount ?

@warcrime3849 11 месяцев назад

why do they both have their feet on the pedals? is that normal?

@ABHelicopters 11 месяцев назад

Yes, if you have two pilots onboard, especially if one is in training, it’s normal to ‘guard’ or ‘follow through’ on the controls

@johnscivoletti7089 2 года назад

Drop the talking head.

@ABHelicopters 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback- you might find it helpful to skip ahead to 2:53 or try another of our Md500 videos which don’t feature an introduction

@sidwalters7455 3 года назад

Too many damn commercials , quit watching after the second bunch

@ABHelicopters 3 года назад

Sorry about that - we have adjusted the settings on RU-vid to reduce the number and duration!

@sharonburns4788 4 года назад

Too many unsafe maneuvers.

@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011 3 года назад

Too many commercial interruptions. I left the video unwatched to the end.

@ABHelicopters 3 года назад

Sorry to hear that! We will review the advertising policy on that video and we hope you can enjoy other videos we have
