Chinook helicopters bell 47 training solo

[@andybibby4462]

Well maintained chopper, rotor balanced nice, good mill and minimal vibration. Over 75 years of the lovely 47 and still going strong!

[@smb5655]

They may have been loved by the mechanics but the pilots put them through so much shit dropping in for a thousand feet doing auto rotations yeah that's fun!

[@andybibby4462]

You can’t beat a 47’s bubble for the view, awesome! A Brantley comes close but the 3-blade rotor makes hangering more challenging.

I did my conversión license with Chinook Helicopters in 2003, from January to March. At this time Chinook Helicopters was a small helicopter flight school with a wonderful atmosphere. My instructor was Andy Roe.

Looks like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter.

[@smb5655]

i was held back for 30years from my dream of flying and now i couldnt wait any longer . you shouldnt wait for another moment. it is hard but life is hard .

[@Helicopterpilot16]

The bubble makes it easy to see everything around you including the rotor blades the rotor head and even the motor the hydraulics is easy to see back there as well you lift your head a bit yeah amazing machine to fly I love it

Questo elicottero non è un CH 47 ma un Bell 47 G. Io se fossi l'istruttore boccerei questo allievo e il suo istruttore, per come impugna il comando del passo ciclico. In caso di un'avaria all'elica anticoppia o al motore, difficilmente questo signore riesce a portare a terra l'elicottero in modo corretto se pilota con la mano sul ciclico, senza impugnarlo in modo corretto, come in tutte le scuole di volo con i loro istruttori ti insegnano !

[@smb5655]

if you are a pilot then you could see that my legs are long and this is the reason for not holding the handle very well.. but i made it work because this air craft is easy to fly. i got better at the landings with more experience. if it was my helicopter i would modify the grip to fit my hand . now as for blowing the pilot i think not. no thank you. instructor one of the best ones at chinook

[@tmanf22]

Ive never seen anyone hold the cyclic like that...

[@smb5655]

That's what happens when you're tall and you have long legs and it's an easy aircraft to fly so you just need your fingers anyway.

[@andybibby4462]

Nonchalant is the word.

[@smb5655]

There's so many modifications to the Bell 47 I'm not sure which one

[@richardevans8733]

Right hand rules

[@ralphmadera4366]

What is wrong here ? First of all a Chinook has 2 rotors , Ch-47 ! I used to be a mechanic in the US Army , it has 2 Turbines , and 4 transmissions ! You got it all wrong!

[@andybibby4462]

The school is called Chinook Choppers!

[@richardevans8733]
