Sir, I hope you’re still making money off these videos, they are awesome! Take care.

I am not, nor will I ever be a helicopter pilot, but I feel a strange responsibility to know how to prevent mast bumping from happening in the future, as well as how to recover from it.

Is that correct sir?

I'd turn collective loose use pedals to rotate around that nose point.

Sir?

Would that be the ideal nose pivot point?

If you turn it loose, will it want to fly itself?

Great videos to prep for SIFT

I love your vids! As an IP I find them very useful! The only thing I’ll disagree with is that translational lift essentially“begins” at 16kts. From that moment the airflow is totally horizontal and continues to become more and more until climb airspeed. Until then at 10-20 kts (as you know of course) only the fore half sees horizontal airflow etc…

ETL is a goofy theory like the downwind stall. Its a wives tale.

The BEST one!

Thanks for the help

I took the test in 1978, and it was called a FAST (Flight Aptitude Skills Test). I took the test right after my Class 1 physical. My eyes were dilated, and the test questions were a blur. I still passed 300 was passing, I got 301.

Thanks to your videos, I scored a 69 on the SIFT. I’ve also recently been selected for flight school. Thank you for taking the time to make this series! You set me on the right path when I was first starting this journey.

From a former Mi-24 / HIND scientific & technical intelligence analyst for the US Army Foreign Science & Technology Center [ FSTC ], now the National Ground Intelligence Center [ NGIC ] in Charlottesville, VA. I was the principal technical analyst on the Mi-24 / HIND during the 1970s, and the sponsor of the Catch 24 Conference at FSTC in 1976 addressing the air-to-air combat potential of the Russian Mi-24 / HIND helicopter. This conference was well attended by US Air Force and US Marine aviators, both rotary & fixed wing. This conference eventually culminated in the J Catch Trials in 1978 of the Mi-24 / HIND air combat potential against both rotary & fixed wing US aircraft - with & without complimentary ground based air defense support. The numero uno lesson learned in Tactical Air Combat Maneuvering [ TACM ] in a helicopter is to aggressively pull collective first, then apply aft cyclic to avoid mushing. Then, add a right or left turn to climb out. Cheerz, bb

Great video but the moment of inertia would be a better way to explain the fully articulated rotor system instead of the Coriolis force

Let it fly. It wants to..

The rotor blade disk doesn’t actually tilt forward

In ground affect the air flow hits the ground then pushes back up causing the helicopter to raise then float back down a little. Has nothing to do with vortex. And to get up to 100 feet you need more collective anyway in order get up their you do need more collective then ground affect yo maintain but once you reach the 100 foot mark you’ll now need to down collective to achieve the hoover

Your not entirely correct on your explanation on how the semi rigid operates. Fully articulating head is for more then two blades. The semi ridged was actually the first one to go to production.

Manmy Thanks, really good info. just ordered an E6B

If you recognize the wind direction and allow machine to weather vaneinto it by reducing forward speed but controlling rotor rpm and easy on the pedals with little or no input. Let it fly again like stall recovery???

These videos are just awesome dude. Thank you!

After airborn th3n freefall gravity dif😂ferent than on ground and that is top secret in aerodynamics... Normally expect around 9.8 m/s^2

Hope this works..

Pray 🙏

Charts altitude winds

Radar altimeter too bad. Yes sir

Gain authority slowly... slowly.. yessir

Avoidance, stay on ground.

Easy now

Great description

Even after graduating flight school and reading TC 3-04.4 over and over Compressibility still wasn’t clicking for me until I watched this video. Thanks for your help!

Those helicopters look oddly similar to something else…

🪣thank you sir

Awesome work

Cyclic collective and prouty doesn't explain vortices part great 👍

Should have used a pen bud

Ate there any fix winged warranted officer positions

Whats the difference between the rotorcraft flunking hand book and helicopter flying handbook?

🪣- great explanation!

dude thank you so much for your videos, im an ex fixed wing pilot learning helicopters on the flight sim and using your videos to feed my hunger for learning about these truly beautiful machines

🪣

thank you for your video, at 3:22 can you explain why the whole helicopter will drift to the right ? suppose the trail rotor thrust has been compensated by the CWW of the main rotor , thank you

In school right now and these videos are a life saver

🪣

Impresive

Spool up

New video recommendations. Explaining each section of the PPC.. thanks in advance
