I salute the U.S. Coast Guard - I watch CG Alaska. Swimmers actually jump into the freezing water to rescue disabled watercraft. They actually search land and sea for missing people. I'm amazed at their skill, finesse, physical capabilities, courage, selflessness, tactics, ad infinitum. Yes, we are in for a treat...can't wait to see the entire episode. God bless the CG and you and your crew Heavy D.

You’re one of the few guys qualified to fly a Dauphin- so cool you got to ride with the Coast Guard!!

[@joecambodia1326]

No type rating required for a Dauphin. Good knowledge 👌

[@RealRickCox]

@@joecambodia1326 I know there’s not a need for a type rating, but having seat time in a specific piece of equipment is something you’re going to want if you’re flying with someone. Just because I fly MD500’s doesn’t mean I’m qualified to jump in a AS350. Yeah, mechanics of flight are similar but having everything turning in the opposite direction would take some time to get comfortable with.

[@joecambodia1326]

@@RealRickCox no reason you couldn’t jump in an AStar, 206 or 407 and fly it away if you were a 500 pilot. I’ve seen guys go from single engine to a crane fly like a champ. I’ve seen Air Force Blackhawk guys go to a 61 couldn’t fly it worth a shat. Never heard anyone reference direction of rotation being part of a learning curve.

[@RealRickCox]

@@joecambodia1326 It’s not a huge learning curve, but muscle memory. When you fly a piece of equipment over and over, all of the checklists start becoming second nature. And if you have a flame out or lose tail authority or who knows what - that’s when having seat time matters. I’ve only flown other helicopters that weren’t a MD500 a few times… the R22 was the worst for me. Then I got to fly the AS350 and H125 with another friend. The basics are all the same but I felt uncomfortable flying new equipment because I didn’t have the confidence that I’d be able to instantly respond in an emergency.

[@smnkm4ehfer]

​@@RealRickCox I mean that's anything tho. A little bit of training/seat time and you gain the same experience. But that works the same with shooting, driving, swinging a hammer, anything; if its new to you, you aren't as confident.
