R22 Startup - North Shore Helicopter Training 

Thanks! We aim to provide useful content so it's good to know it's of value to other flyers!

How much is hire rate with instructor?i have 25hours dual but have not flown for awhile.

Glad it's of value to you! :)

Our pleasure, CD! We're all about training efficiently and effectively, so we're glad to hear this will help you with your studies. Keep up the good work!

Well done! We have great instructors here at NSHT if you're looking to further your training

Noth Shore Helicopter Training thank you so much for these instructions. They are very good instructions which I haven ‘t find on any other you tube video

Chickenshit!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)

James Uphill Best of luck.

That is a pretty stupid thing to say post 911

I I learned to fly these in Bristow Academy in New Iberia Louisiana a few years ago. I admit, they are sensitive with the controls but its also the most reliable bird in its size. they are not bad once you get the hang of it. if you can fly these then you can fly any of them

@@davidmichaelc stop being so sensitve. There's more to the world than the US and not everyone are snowflakes.

Seems to me like it's the same, actually. If you were able to turn in the seat and face the collective, you would roll the throttle forward to increase rpm just like you would on a bike. In both cases if you roll the throttle towards your knuckles you are gaining rpm, and if you roll the throttle towards your thumb you are losing rpm. Or maybe I'm missing something here?

@@rovers141 i think of it as towards you or away from you ,,, then again I think the foot pedals should work like a go cart and not like a tractor fiddle brake too ,, horses for courses I guess

P's and T's. Pressures and Temperatures.

ninemilliondollars Always start a turbine with the rotor brake on

Thanks, Saud!

Try to fly an helicopter with one of those controls wrong and you’ll get why

like, your process doesn't align with my study material at all.

Not sure if play is the right word at the beginning, but you can take classes and be up in the sky right from day one

The R22 is classed as a 'Light helicopter' - but even so, it is still a complex flying machine. As with all aircraft, pre startup checks, and engine start should always be completed methodically and carefully. You don't need a 'fast' startup.

Thanks Johnny! Glad it was helpful

Probably to keep down cost or weight or both since this is a small helicopter. Regarding the diesel engine on Robinson helicopters the engine runs around 2,500 rpm. It develops 200-300 HP at that low rpm because of such high torque (like a large truck that pulls a heavy load). And that HP is enough to fly the craft. :D

It's cheaper to fly. It's very common to fly R22s and R44s in flight school because it saves you money. And R44s are common to use post school because they cost less than a turbine and still seat 3 people plus the pilot.

Its not a diesel engine. They make 128 horse power, and 132 horse power for 5 minute maximum performance. The engine run on 100 octane low lead.

Cheers Anjaya!

Thankyou!so much.I am just trying to learn Flying principles & mechanisms of Helicopter.

Great! Good luck with that! We're available at North Shore Airport in NZ if you ever want to enroll in any of our courses

Always use a check list in my opinion

Yeah, you are supposed to use a check list for preflight and starting. They probably use them at their school, just didn't show it. If the FAA ramp checks you and sees you are not using a checklist, you get in trouble.
