Today I take the UH1 Iroquois (Huey) for a quick flight from Kobuleti to Batumi. I cover basic startup, hover taxi, takeoff, radio navigation (ADF) and landing.

Great video! 1 small note. When cleared to Taxi you should hold short of the runway in your hover taxi prior to setting down on the numbers =) Once cleared for takeoff you are then permitted to be on the runway. Well done, I enjoyed your video a bunch!

To expedite the slowing of the rotors, after fuel cutoff, let rpm's bleed down a bit then pull pitch on the collective. The bite thru the air with the increased drag will accelerate slow down.

In DCS is just one thing "unrealistic". Depends on how do you take it. If you watch the rotor blade in nominal RPM, you can see it "slowly moving and flashing". But this llusion is caused by stroboscopic phenomenon of camera which usually have limited framerate around 24fps. But the human eye is "analogue" which means its sense is fluid so it has something like infinite FPS. So instead of those "flashes" the eye see one big transparent rounded plate.

Fantastic vid! I'm a total noob at flying helicopters but I have a SA342 and I just picked myself up a Huey for DCS at the weekend and trying to dial in the controls. A quick question though...Do you need any sort of trim set up before you take off? My Huey seems to want to point its nose toward the sky all the time, is this normal?
@deephack8 жыл бұрын
There are various different ways of maintaining a helicopter in trim. My personal preference is to push and hold. For example I push the trim button, carry out my manoeuvre and then release the trim once the heli is stable. This ensures that I am always in trim.

may i just ask two questions,1; On the radio compass indicator how do you get the "sleeve" to go around the long thin arrow-i have tried moving the "set heading" dial(bottom left of the instrument) and the only thing that happens is that an "arrow head" moves along the outside edge of the compass.2; what does this "arrow head" do!!i do have by the way the instruments set up to train in on a NDB.Many thanks for your videos-i can AT LAST find a NDB with the radio compass

We have all seen Helicopters come straight down from a hover great heights - 40-60 feet, or more. Where is the Vortex Ring State in these cases ?
@deephack6 жыл бұрын
It is possible to descend vertically as long as you don't do so too fast. In the Huey a good rule of thumb is that below 15kts airspeed you should not be exceeding 500fpm vertical speed in the descent. I normally make that 300fpm which gives me a good margin. In the real world helicopters will very rarely land vertically as it's just too risky. If you look carefully at them they will normally be maintaining a low airspeed to avoid descending into their downdraft and triggering VRS.

@deephack9 жыл бұрын
Black_ knight It definitely helps to have a high resolution stick with long travel when flying a chopper as you constantly need to make small accurate movements. If you are having issues controlling it with you stick I would create a curve in axis tune in the controller options. You want it to be quite flat near the centre and curve up near the edges as you will rarely be using full travel. See here for some Huey specific tips. forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1744409

When you were approaching and got the rotor overspeed warning, would that have been some VRS?
@deephack7 жыл бұрын
Not in this case no, I still had lots of forward speed. The rotor overspeed has nothing to do with VRS specifically, it just lets you know that the rotor is turning faster than rated. This is inefficient for one thing but can also result in damage to the rotor head and blades.

Minamitsu Murasa Really hard to say as I enjoy flying both. I'm really in to systems simulation and avionics and so because of that I enjoy the Mi8 but the Huey is such a joy to fly and takes a bit more skill due to the lack of autopilot. I will later on be doing some videos on the Mi8 too but I'd like to wait for the manual as I don't know how all of the systems work yet.

why does the instrument panel shake like 17:07~? that's not normal, is it?
@deephack9 жыл бұрын
CNL _ That's just a bit of vibration as I get close to maximum forward speed. The Huey doesn't seem to suffer too much from retreating blade stall but really starts to shake a high speed.
@luisbaltazar19 жыл бұрын
deephack no mater what sort of vibration the aircraft is subject to in real life, the panel would only vibrate in this fashion if it was isolated from the rest of the cockpit by some kind of suspension, like very long springs or somthing. the question is: is it? why?
@deephack9 жыл бұрын
CNL _ The vibration effects in DCS are intentionally exaggerated as I understand it to provide us sim pilots with the types of queues that real life pilots take for granted. I think that in the Huey the whole ship is actually shaking but the panel appears to move more as it's closer to the pilot. I could be wrong however so might be best to ask Belsimtek if you need more info.
@CinematixActionProd9 жыл бұрын
+deephack i have also read this, the panel shake is intentionally exaggerated as sim pilots get used to to the bounds of the aircraft to be safe when really flying.
@irqpawn118 жыл бұрын
+CNL _ Everything shakes during this transition into and from ETL. It's called transverse flow though not as bad in real life but heck, its a computer game and it does add a feedback cue to the pilot. If you hit it and havent already started pulling collective you risk VRS.
