Having worked offshore in the North Sea I have flown in the S-92, the Airbus and only once in the AW139; however, it was the quietest and most comfortable even when we landed on an ship that time which was a bit scary!

Good evening captain, thank you for your video. I have always wanted to fly helicopters was not able to get the help to do so. Your videos and others sort of help me fulfill my dream. I learn a lot from you. Are the two levers overhead your throttle or power controls? I notice you do not touch them, are they set or does the fadec system set the power, please let me know. Thank you. I was a chef on rigs before and a flight never came to my rig without me saying thank you by providing lunch or dinner for the flight crew. Looking at your videos brings up these fond memories in me.

@@larryalexander4385 thanks a lot for your very kind comment. The levers you see are indeed throttles. We call them “ECL” Engine Control Levers. They are however not used in normal situations. Only when the automatic engine controls fail we can use them to keep the engines (and rotor RPM) in control. I hope this makes sense 🤗.

Thanks for the question, The rotor brake is only used on shut down after the flight. When the engines are on, the rotor brake is inhibited and wont work.

Hoi, ik ben 24 jaar en wacht momenteel op de openstelling van de vacature voor loadmaster bij Defensie. Mijn uiteindelijke doel is om via Defensie helikopterpiloot te worden, maar ik vind het lastig om betrouwbare informatie te vinden over de route naar een vliegbaan bij een bedrijf. Ik weet dat je een pilotenlicentie kunt halen, maar dat lijkt me een risico, omdat je na het behalen van de licentie nog niet weet of je daadwerkelijk een baan kunt vinden. Bovendien is het behalen van zo’n licentie erg duur, en dat maakt het nog moeilijker om die keuze te maken zonder zekerheid over werkgelegenheid. Ik heb een mbo-3 diploma, waardoor solliciteren voor piloot bij Defensie momenteel niet mogelijk is. De optie om eerst hbo te doen, is helaas ook te laat, omdat ik dan te oud ben wanneer ik mijn diploma behaald heb. Heb je misschien tips voor mij of zou je er een video over kunnen maken? Ik zou graag meer willen weten over de mogelijkheden en hoe ik mijn droom als piloot kan verwezenlijken

@@helichrisPA28 Als ik vragen mag, welke opleiding(en) heeft u gevolgd om piloot te worden, en hoe lang duurde het voordat u een baan als piloot kreeg? Ik stel deze vragen omdat ik overweeg om ook die richting op te gaan. Helaas heb ik momenteel niet genoeg financiële middelen om de opleiding te betalen, dus ik overweeg een lening aan te vragen om het mogelijk te maken. Daarnaast zie ik regelmatig vacatures waarbij minimaal 500 vlieguren vereist zijn. Mijn vraag is: hoe heeft u die vlieguren opgebouwd? Was dat door privé vaak te vliegen, of heeft u die uren opgebouwd tijdens uw werk bij een bedrijf? En als ik vragen mag, bij welk bedrijf bent u begonnen? Mijn excuses voor alle vragen, maar ik merk dat er weinig duidelijke informatie beschikbaar is over hoe je na de opleiding echt van start kunt gaan als piloot. Er is veel te vinden over de opleidingen zelf, maar niet over het begin van je carrière. Alvast bedankt voor uw reactie!

@@TacticalAviator Ik heb HAVO gedaan. Daarna de vlieg opleiding. Daanra ben ik blijven vliegen op verschillende heli's bij Heli Holland. Hierdoor kreeg ik steeds meer ervaring en bouwde ik uren op. Dit is een gebruikelijke manier om aan de uren eisen te voldoen en ervaring op te bouwen.
