I am very very impressed with this video the 407 is one of my favorite helicopters I'm not a pilot but I always wanted to learn how to fly helicopters. That thing is so quiet and the vibration is pretty much none thank you for sharing totally awesome man I'm just swept off of my feet love this video thank you.
That blue colour (as seen in the hangar, not the paint shop) is very striking. If I had a helicopter, that’s the exact same shade of blue that I would opt for.

Well, it can’t be IFR certified as it doesn’t have the requisite number of engines.

The requisite number of engines is one, and without it, it won’t even fly VFR.

Owen, thank you for producing this highly informative video! Are single engine turbine, IFR certified, helicopters required to have redundant hydraulic sources and/or twin tube hydraulic servo actuators? Or, are single tube servos with backup accumulators sufficient? I've read comments from pilots who believe the H125B3e is the ultimate single engine turbine, because of its redundant hydraulics. After close examination, I see that it has two hydraulic sources which power separate/ isolated portions of the flight control system. No cross feeding of hydraulic pressure is available. The redundancy is in twin tube servos for each of the control links on the lower swashplate. What's up with the 407?? Thanks Again. I look forward to more videos on your projects and that sweet Mooney.
@GabrielRzrO12 жыл бұрын
I think single tube without backup accumulators is sufficient since the 407 doesn't have dual hydraulics, and as far as i know, it doesn't have accumulators either. What it does have is a set of springs installed parallel to the cyclic and collective actuation tubes in order to assist the pilot with the increased feedback forces in case of a hydraulic loss scenario and check valves in the actuators so as to not lose all it's hydraulic fluid on its internal spool valve and still actuating the hyd. piston without boost.

No. Only the newest type certificated aircraft have this. On helicopters with the skids, the skids are designed to deform to absorb crash impact forces.

Not a fan of IFR helicopters. We all know what that worked out for Kobe.
@sureflightllc3 жыл бұрын
This is analogous to saying you are not a fan of a Genesis GV80 because we all know how that worked out for Tiger. Just like Tiger Woods can drive his car off a cliff, Kobe’s pilot can fly his helicopter into a cliff. It is true that the S-76 was IFR capable, however, Kobe’s pilot was not flying IFR. The charter operator was certified to operate under VFR only and was not permitted to carry passengers IFR. Flying IFR requires advanced planning including obtaining all necessary information including NOTAMS, weather reports at the departure, enroute, and destination, fuel requirements, required altitudes to keep you clear from terrain, etc. IFR requires filing a flight plan with ATC, receiving a clearance from ATC to fly a specific route and a specific altitude that keeps you clear of terrain. Kobe’s pilot did none of this. He was not flying IFR. What Kobe’s pilot did was fly a helicopter on a VFR flight inadvertently into IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) and then crashed the helicopter into terrain.
