@paulharris50592 жыл бұрын
O R22 e o mais barato por hora. En nossa area e $366 USD com o instructor. Tambem, considera que nos E.U. e quase requerido treinar no R22 por causa do SFAR 73 regulacao que vai mantener sua posicao do treinador inicial mais comun. Sem treinamento especial, nao pode trabalhar na industria. E interesante mesmo--a regulacao que podia matar a firma e exatamente a coisa que mantenga seu lugar primero.

In 1963 I took lessons at Burbank Airport, CA, in a Hughes 269 and the instructor would just cut the power and I would have to do a full auto landing. One time he cut the power at a hover, not expecting it and not prepared, we hit the ground pretty hard. After that first autorotation at a hover I got really good. I enjoyed your video as it brought back really good memories. Do to circumstances beyond my control I did not get my private pilot’s license. Thank you.

I flew into Hayward a lot when i was getting my commercial ticket. When I enter an auto, i do it a lot more deliberately. I count down 3-2-1, but i lower collective smoothly in about three seconds (same cadence) instead of jamming it down.. it lets you apply pedal for yaw- keeps your eyes on the horizon, and more importantly helps you RELAX. Smooth smooth smooth and relaxed. An auto is just another maneuver, relax and breath. Once i have my target picked out and the ship aiming for it, there is nothing to look at outside. Relax, breath and watch the RPM's in the upper part of the green. Your entire life is the tach. When he says "bump" I'm assuming it's bump the decaying RPM's up with aft cyclic; levels the cabin attitude. I can't see his tach with this resolution but we are not talking more than a few percentage of RPM's.. Like someone else said, I don't roll on power until well into the flare, right at level cabin attitude and well on my way to a full touchdown- just before the RPM's start to decay and the horn goes off at 97%. Roll on should be just as smooth as the roll off, apply pedal for the onset of yaw, and either terminate the maneuver in at hover altitude or push forward into ETL and climb out for another pass. Ahhh i can still feel all of this.. :) Great CFI too, chill guy. Not grabbing at the controls the whole time for a (looks like pre-private pilot from both the control inputs and that it's a straight in auto and not a 180/360 auto- or a zero airspeed auto for that matter) student.

Your approach makes a lot more sense. That would also help the tensity we feel. Unfortunately my instructor wants it down right away (decisively, not shoved), and won't allow any other way. We must do things the way our instructors want, even if there are better methods, or we don't move on.

The bump is normally a slight rise in the collective to lower the rotor RPM to prevent an over speed, ive also never done an auto in a R22 only a B407 so might be different with the low inertia rotor system of a R22
