Today I discuss the dangers of overpitching a helicopter when you are near the ground and are unprepared for it. It's very easy for a helicopter to crash if you don't follow the right procedure.
My name is Mischa Gelb and I own BC Helicopters with my wife Amy and my brother Sancho. I love taking the opportunity to bring you along to discover the life and adventures of a helicopter pilot.

I was in aviation for 25 years and flew helicopters for 15 of those years. I flew Huey helicopters in the Army during Vietnam (1966-67) and never had enough power. Early models Bell UH-1 A/B/C and D (T53L-9 and -11 engines) would droop RPM at high altitude or during hot weather. It was not uncommon to require a running take-off on the skids to get off the ground when loaded. Many landings with a load had to be to the ground because it would not hover due to low power, especially when the OAT was near 100 degrees or more. Turbine engines will droop under the right conditions. Later when we got the UH-1H with the T53L-13 engine, power was not a problem. I flew the CH-47C during my 2nd tour in Vietnam (1968-69) and had all the power I needed.

@fidelcatsro6948 6 лет назад

what did they do to the huey engines replace the in line 4 cylinder with a v8 engine to improve power?

@jamesdayton9530 6 лет назад

The helicopters mentioned in my comment had gas turbine engines. The size and number of turbine wheels in the engines increased power. The CH-47 helicopter had 2 engines much larger than the UH-1.

@fidelcatsro6948 6 лет назад

oh okay... lucky meow you lived through that era when these engines were being improved and developed!

Coming in as a 30 plus year fixed wing pilot...I found this very interesting. Ground effect on a fixed wing is a different matter and can cause the aircraft to run out of runway while being airborne in forward motion below published stall speed. I have only been in a helicopter twice but what a fantastic way to fly!!!

@hamishmacgregor8373 Год назад

Rotor is the way... I have both licenses,, but I don't fly """"" BOXER ENGINES ''';;

@Murffly3 4 года назад

Actually 1. "Settling with Power" is when Power Requirements exceed Power Available. 2. "Power Settling" or Vortex Ring State (VRS) is when your rotor enters into your own VRS and the more you add power or Collective, the greater you intensify the Vortex and aggravated descent (easy fix, reduce collective and pitch forward). All you need to know are those two conditions. In this example Power Requirements exceeded Power Available or "Settling with Power". I'm a 32 year Military Helo Bubba!

The Jet Ranger 206 simulator I flew never behaved poorly during the landing sims, but having flown fixed wing in real world, I always made an approach while flying forward and settling down during the last few seconds. But the throttle is governed in the 206. I never got to real world rotary wing, and now I'm grounded - medical. I enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming.

@PA1207 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this and other videos, and this one is especially useful, to both a Helicopter, but also because it shows what my instructor always stressed, and that is "you flying here, but keep in your mind where you going to be in a minute or five. You always want to be ahead of yourself in planning the aircraft. You always need to have a plan for the "If's" If your landing spot isn't just right or the crosswind is more than you expected it to be, or your realizing you might have a powerplant issue, but keep in your mind about the "What If" situation. He would always say "You never take off without a plan!" cause once up in the air your ability to safely fly is a very dependent on factors sometimes not in your favor. Thank you again !

@apburner1 6 лет назад

Awesome recovery technique... if just happen to be landing next to a cliff...

@jordanrodrigues8265 4 года назад

The technique for landing in flat terrain is different. If you don't have enough power to hover, you glide forward (autorotation if needed) and make a "running landing."

@javacup912 6 лет назад

Great scenery and great video. I have to agree with the comment about removing your hand from the collective, but the pilot in the right seat had his on it, so obviously something briefed. It may be good to mention that rotor droop happens in single and twin turbine helicopters as well, even though they have a governor to adjust power to collective demands. Although most turbine engined helicopters have an timed overtorque limit to be able to fly out of this type of situation, although in most cases, forward speed is the best way to get out, and go past ETL and fly away. Keep up the good work and safe flying!

A few years ago I took a ride in a Bell 47 (the one from the MASH series) at Sun & Fun and while we were out tooling around I could tell we were out of power. If he just tried to sit in a hover and climb straight up, we would not gain altitude. There simply was nothing left. And the rotors began making a different noise. Full of fuel, two large adults and 100° temps all contributed. Rather than the steady chop chop chop your ears get used to, it began to beat and the vibration was much more severe. The blades were at their full pitch yet the piston engine could not keep the RPM up. I glanced over when I noticed all this and he simply muttered "...over pitched..." and had to fly forward to gain enough rotor RPM to land. Fascinating to see this first hand.

While working at GE building T700's that go on the Army's Blackhawk, two pilots were touring the plant. They stopped to talk to some of us assemblers who were pulling lock wire to an assembly. They invited us to come watch them "pull pitch" as they left the plant in their Blackhawk helicopter. So at 4:00pm we went out to watch at the heliport .... and we got the best air show ever. After the flight engineer did his thing, and pilots warmed up the turbines to full power they "pulled pitch" Those two GE engines jumped that copter straight up about a 100 feet in a second... they hovered, turned toward the Saugus River and booked at full speed...just when we thought they were heading away for good....they came buzzing back at a 100 feet and headed for Boston.... an amazing display of power. That day we learned what pulling pitch was in that Blackhawk.

@BitwiseMobile 6 лет назад

That characteristic instrument scan from the guy in blue! Fixed wing pilots do that same scan. Question: After lowering the collective what do you do with the cyclic? You said you turn away, so assuming you go right or left probably with pedal control since you are stalled on the rotor airfoil, but do you also add downward pitch or does the stall do that for you? In fixed wing you would drop the nose and stop any spinning with rudder. You drop the nose to get some airspeed over the wings to get lift to stop the stall. Imagine it's the same for rotor craft with probably subtle differences.

Really nice to have videos like these :). Can you make a video on how to make a power check weather you have enough power to land at a spot with a hover (or you need to do a slide landing), but lets say things are a little more complicated - landing spot is tight area within a forest in between trees , Lets say you are going for a tour with max load but you need to land 5 min after takeoff - you are unfamiliar with the terrain you need to land at - pretty much worst case scenario. :)
