Why Does the Left Landing Gear Touch First? Helicopter Instructor Pilot Explains. 

Dude. You are my new favorite RU-vid channel. I'm about 70% there with the fixed wing, but I've been wanting to get into Rotary wing, THANK YOU for explaining all of this in such a great, easy to understand visual. From one Afghan Vet (CDN TF 01-2007) Who's bird was far less cool since it had 6 wheels and didn't fly...... Thank you for making this in a way that NCO's at the lower level could still understand! Also, You guys were hands down our favorite Blackhawk crews. You guys and gals would fly into Hell itself to get an ISAF soldier out of harms way and back to help. I've always said any time I meet a blackhawk pilot in real life, the first round will always be on me. You guys earned it tenfold.

Translating Tendency ! Now I understand why the Gazelle in DCS World behaves like this. The Video helped me a lot ! 👍

That actually explains a lot....thanks

Well explained. Wish I had known this earlier, saving a lot of rolling-in-the-dust landings.

Can't wait for that "real" helicopter to appear as a full module in DCS World. Highly informative as usual, enjoyed the visual explanation of the various torque and translating forces, as understanding those gives your brain a reference point for what's happening, and the nuanced control input needed to counteract them. Helicopters feel like a constant torque management device.

Very well presented, even I could follow ❤

I am curious if you guys in the Army treat VRS and Settling with power as two different things. Up in Canada it's taught as two different things and was wondering your stance on it, Great vid!

👍 would be great if you did one about tail rotor effectiveness. When it loses authority and such... cheers

What is the best aviation head set I should for rotary wing flight school, I have no budget constraints ?

4:30 HAHAhahaha 😂 🤣😂

What if it was something like a chinook?

Unrelated question. Do you guys have ability to manually activate the ELT? We've been getting a bunch of 77 codes and stuff going out over guard that turns out to be "accidental" thanks.

One correction. Thrust on the tail is to the right. IPs 🫣
