the year of this AS350 Ecureuil helicopter is 1981

Redbull gives you rotors...

F*ing hell yes

I hope to see more heli videos in the future, missing them❤

The Ecureuil is my favourite Helicopter I Want one of those

how heavy were the bags?

Flawless,just give me a tip for voice recording thx fr.pwrlne inspc

After years, I still use this video to show people the sensitivity of the cyclic in flight, thanks for doing it 🙏 One question: the Torque changes when you apply the collective, but since the cyclic acts on the swashplate changing the angle of attack of the individual blades, can the cyclic also change (a little bit) the value of the Torque? Thanks Regards

Didn't look like you had the Pelican case in the passenger seat tied down! A big problem if it fell off the seat and jammed to cyclic, the pedals, or the collective. Great videos of a real-world pilot. Noticed you removed the case later on. Sterile cockpit preserves lives.

Is that souns reflection

is there any effect when you just don't wash a helicopter?

Excellent video, well done

Your flight controls seem twitchy sensitive...by design for shure.looks like it was twitching to get loose on takeoff.

That Vertical Reference Floor Window Kit really pays off

I love that Whining sound on the cockpit From the Ariel engine

Hello @codmott286 , You asked, “Why turbine time requirements are treated differently from reciprocating engine time.” A piston helicopter pilot watching a video of a FADEC turbine start up like this could easily take for granted the extreme responsibility & the challenges a pilot faces when starting a turbine engine manually. Most turbine engine helicopters do not have FADEC for start ups. I currently have over 1,600 hours flying MD500’s, which require a manual start. I acquired almost 1,500 of those hours by flying as a tuna spotting pilot for 2 1/2 years. So, you have to realize & appreciate that it’s the responsibility of the pilot to safely start it, without damaging it & to know instantaneously when & how to abort a start that’s going bad. A pilot also needs to know how to correctly react to a hung start. I am not saying that starting a turbine engine is hard. It’s not. But keep in mind that turbine engines cost $300,000 or more & you can hot start & torch a turbine engine in less than 2-seconds if you forget something or make a mistake! With great power comes great responsibility! This is why most companies require at least a few hundred hours of turbine time. In a helicopter without a FADEC start, it’s totally up to the pilot to ensure the battery has enough of a charge & that the TOT is under 150° C before attempting a start to avoid having a hot start! It’s up to the pilot to ensure the throttle is in the cut off position. If it’s not in the cut off position when you hit the start button you will have a hot start in about one second exceeding 927° C! It’s up to the pilot to ensure that the scav air is off & the heater is off, otherwise you will have a hot start! So, it is dependent on the pilot to ensure N1 is at 15% before introducing fuel. If the pilot introduces fuel before 12% N1 you will have a hot start. If a pilot makes a mistake & has a hot start, then you potentially just fried a $300,000 turbine engine in less than two seconds. This is why companies want pilots with turbine time. For some perspective, the average piston helicopter costs less than $300,000. In contrast, a turbine helicopter’s engine alone costs $300,000. Don’t take turbine engines complexity for granted just because you watched some start ups with FADEC engines, because it looks super easy because the FADEC is doing the hard parts. Turbine pilots still have to know how to manually start a turbine engine. And companies want to have confidence that their pilots know how to start a turbine engine without frying it & costing them $300,000. To answer your question, this is exactly why turbine time requirements are treated differently from reciprocating engine time. 😉 For perspective here’s a Hughes 500C manual start up with the checklist video that I created to help people. 🚁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGi6fnWZpNOoj6Msi=OY5HbM9auscW5K8m I hope this helps to put things into a better perspective & hopefully this makes sense. Fly safe! Cheers!

Great video. I always learn a lot & enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Is your callsign Helifalcon? Sorry I don't understand Norwegian if it is this

Excelente.

Very cool video

What’s with the helmet Maverick?

Whats the name of this job....is pegasus a helicopter rental ???

Best video ever.

MD 500E I presume.. friction off, no hydraulics..but sweet power & responsive..comfortable "driving shoes" a must for this kind of flying..more fine response😎🚁

VERY COOL GUY....

Sweet N711ja

Do it slower next time and explain every move ! ;)

Very good video, excellent demo, thank you!

Learned longline in Alaska in the early 80’s doing seismic. Your videos take me back to those first attempts with a 100’ line and little to no instruction. Your videos would have been great back then instead of learning on the job. Found myself nodding in agreement a lot during your narrative.

Filma du når du var i Vinje?

That is a 500E. No hydros , the cyclic trim is electronic.

Very, very awesome video!!!!

Yes I do love the sound of flapping rotor Blades., from an MD500..

That's exactly how I want to see it. Recorded from the first turbine noise until the rotors stop completely! Sensational! That's exactly how I love it! That's exactly how it has to be! Absolutely great! You rarely find videos like this on YT but these videos are exactly my thing as a die-hard helicopter fan! I could dance for joy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love your vids but its a lot of uhhhh uhm

Thats a real cold and dark startup hehe. But how got the ATIS without Avionics? Where did you put the freqeuncy in?

strong password

Hi love the videos. quick question what does the tally counter you reset when startup at 1:03 ?

lol cool

Are B3’s easy to overtorque and what happens if you did?

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Maschinengewehr!!!

Looks truly amazing, like surfing over the clouds.👍But, there is not much other air traffic in that region, right?🙂

Damn cows are always in the way of our rotors

Hey, just pull up the collective and go

Hey, just pull up the collective and go

I love it

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I don’t care what language it’s in. It’s beautiful.

Thank you for posting that
