This is actually an excellent vid because there is no chatter going on, which would distract from clearly hearing the speed changes in N1, while zoomed in on the Torque and N1 guages, and also watching the speed and altimeter, and VS, and see how the turbine sounds interact with it all. It shows clearly all flight phases, take, off climb out, banking turns, level and cruise, descent, add power at transition from ETL to hover taxi, hover, then hover maneuver, where instructor goest to edge of square, aims at corner. And then does a coordinated right cyclic left peddle sweep 45 degrees, stops squares up again, then departs again. Only thing missing is an auto. But could be student wasn't ready for that as towards end, student induced oscillations by trying to maintain heading by cyclic instead of pedals. Everything clearly shown except collective. Thanks Nick for leaving the flight sounds on and the chatter out and doing in 1020 with fixed camera so the guage needles slight movements in sync with N1 slight speed changes are all integrated. Flying helicopters is not just sight seeing, it's listening to the ship and scanning the guages regularly as well. Good job.
Thank you for your positive comment! It was a very impressive experience for me to be allowed to steer a helicopter. Of course, this was not a flying lesson in training, it was a gift which I received to complete a test flight with flight instructor. You're right, at the end I had trouble keeping the helicopter stable. The flight instructor explained to me at this point that we just had a strong tailwind there, in addition, he had to take over the trim. What I also have to say in retrospect, I had completely the wrong shoes on, these soft sneakers gave me no feeling at all in the pedals.
This 1020 p recorded video is excellent for zooming in and training your mind the relationships of power flow management. He motors up but doesn't ignite, yet TOT moves a little by heat of compressed air only, and T2 and rotor are nudging just by compressed air stream. Then he ignites and TOT steps up, but does't get into caution zone until throttles up, and reaches peak as T1 spools up and drops TOT once excess cooling air is available. Then Watch Torque and T1, after T2 and rotor are locked and trimmed at green line. Once at green line he adds power which is now reflected in T1 only running up, as Torque rises and T2/ Rotor are constant. At that point T1 is near max and what varies now is Torque as he find balance point between AS and Climb. Then Torque drops back as he reaches level flight and adjusts down collective slightly and all guages stabilize in cruise flight.
Hey buddy, did you read the title of the video? "Try to Fly" says it all, or?😉 No I am not a pilot, I was a passanger who got the chance to get a partial control of a helicopter flight. And yes....it was an impressive experience for me!
Primeira vez que eu vejo a decolagem de um Helicóptero sob a visão de um piloto. Claro considerando que nunca voei na vida. Que Deus os abençoe, conserve e guarde. Amém.
Fábio eu também nunca voei curto bastante aviões de caça mas helicópteros me chama atenção principalmente quando da a partida e incia com aqeles estalo e logo em seguida aciona as turbinas shou de bola
Why did the Hughs 500 defy convention an put the PIC in the left seat? It would be a bit awkward having to change hands on the cyclic to operate the radios and nav equipment. Can they be flown solo from the right seat, or does the W&B prevent it?
There is an option to order new MD500s with a right-side PIC arrangement. Both the Hughes 300s and 500s had left-side PIC so that a third person could fit on the bench seat when the right-side controls are removed.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video! Ich schau mir gerne Real Life Videos von Helikoptern an da ich in Microsoft Flightsim diese Modelle fliege und das simulierte Flugverhalten wirkt sehr nahe an der Realität so wie es aussieht. Hat der MD500E einen Force-Trim, der den Stick in Position hält (so wie die UH-1) oder muss man tatsächlich ständig den Stick festhalten?
Danke! Leider kann ich dir nichts bezüglich Force-Trim sagen. Ich habe diesen Flug geschenkt bekommen, was ein super Erlebnis war. Aber sonst habe ich nichts mit Hubschraubern zu tun.
What passenger is going to arrive for their FIRST EVER flight and have a helmet?? Besides its not a requirement that it be worn anyway!! What a stupid comment!!
Der gross See war mir klar- der Zürchersee-Obersee SZ/SG. Aber der erste See, welcher war das? Aegerisee? Sihlsee (wohl nicht ohne die zwei Brücken) ???
jens1600gt Ah, just wondered, I know a guy that flies his around 120-140 knots without realizing it. Fast birds. That’s still pretty cool you got some dual instruction with a CFI in an MD500E.
And what did you learn from this flight ? you never got the chance to have the commands, not even for a second because the instructor was holding the cyclic between his knees ..
OWEN BOCK "flying four hands" is definitely a bad thing, if he was trying to hover, that' ok, but really unecessary if you are straight and level at that altitude to recover from a bad move from the student, he didn't even let go the pedals, that too much for an "unconfortable" instrutor! IMHO
@@m118lr Amazing how many viewers here think they know it all when it comes to flying, right??....first we had arm chair quarterbacks....now armchair pilots....
@@jens1600gt Jens. He would have shown you the startup procedure and got you more involved. Heli hours are so expensive it's a waste not to use them for training.
