As soon as I saw the garage doors, I knew where this was from. I remember watching the MD500 from JCPD take off as a kid at this same pad, and aviation still amazes me today. Although we moved from the Ville 3 years ago I salute your work in keeping the city safe. Watch out for UFO's and fireballs out there!
Beautiful helicopter and beautiful location. Living down south I can't wait to start winter flying again! I just got my commercial cert and I'd love to fly the MD someday my career.
I have an hour or two in the Hugh’s 369 and MD 500’s. But I’ve never seen a 520 up close. That bird looks roomy inside the cabin. I miss flying. I think the only thing that I loved doing more than flying, is jumping out of aircraft!
Great 🚁‼️ I don’t understand why (worldwide) the NOTAR-Chopper are quite rare. This technology is such a great invention & they are not so loud compared to Coaxial or normal Tailrotor-Choppers. PS: and without a tail rotor u minimize the danger of accidents enormously.
@@TransferAir realistically helicopters are an incredibly small business, the most popular helicopter the R44 or R22 I'm not sure which has about 6000 units world wide which is small compared to car companies selling ten's of thousands of units so it's just not worth finding contracts like this
@@TransferAir I also agree that the Robinson design is ugly but if I had enough money for one I'd still buy it but I'd much rather a MD520 or a squirrel, greetings from down under in australia
In a strange way it kind of reminds me of noisy vacuum cleaners. There was a vacuum cleaner that was invented that was just as efficient and much, much quieter but it failed in the market place because people were not able to get past the fact that it made very little noise. They thought that because they couldn't hear the vacuum cleaner working it wasn't working as well as the loud vacuum cleaners. I suspect a similar fate has been experienced by the Notar line of helicopters. I'd much rather have one of these Notar models than the twin buzz-saw models.
Great video!.. At least until you started flipping front, right, front. right, front, right.. THAT, got annoying very fast! I prefer to be able to hear the pilot/passengers, ATC but overall a very enjoyable flight. keep them coming!
Awesome flight! the 520N is my favorite- how did you go about getting so luck as to train in it? I wish I could come up with the cash do do my training up in Alberta.. :(
Greg Timinski it's a police department owned helicopter. I was recently transferred in as the commander of the Air Patrol unit and have just begun my training with the current pilot staff.
@@jackhagedorn4717 this is why heli pilots get to transition to turbine so quickly, since most commercial rotorcraft are turbine powered the operators have no choice but to train you in them.
I understand that building the notar system could maybe be more expensive than the tail rotor (not exactly sure why), but what about long term cost per hour? Wouldn't the notar's smaller parts count with less expensive repair components result in lower cost/hour?
Ich weiß nicht was g****r ist, die agile Silhouette oder der Sound ? Jede 2000 Watt Car-Hifi Anlage mit Trap Musik...ist langweilig dagegen. Und was sind schon Alufelgen gegen Carbon Rotorblätter 🤷🏻♂️ Ich hab ja nichts gegen Tuner aber mir wäre ne Karre zu langsam und mit aufgebohrtem Auspuff, immer noch zu leise. Und lackieren kann man/n einschließlich dem Gesicht seiner Co-Pilotin bei offenem Fenster in nem Tripple GT so ziemlich alles. Also wenn das mein MD wäre, so wäre er erstmal matt weiß und bekäme er noch drei schwarz rote Streifen mit tiefeneffekt in Form von Raubtier Kratzern und nen Puma mit goldenen krallen. Sportlicher geht's kaum. Ich denke...Die Dassler's würden vor Freude wie nen Heli im Grab rotieren. Nein ich bin im Moment weder High wie Altitude, noch auf irgendeinem stratosphärischen Höhenflieger, gar pietätsarm oder so. Allerdings finde ich alle beide Bro's gleich gut und es traurig, dass sie Konkurrenten geworden sind aber ohne ihre Eltern nicht dass was sie beide, letztlich erreicht haben.

this is why heli flying is the most fun, because at least on the "boring" flights you are still a part of the earth. Now imagine doing this for Delta 35,000 feet high. Talk about boring, all you see is clouds, haze, and checkered farm land below.
