This guys laughing at 16;30 was incredible, made the whole video that much better.

[@PilotTeacher]

I loved doing this interview!!

[@Cpt.Goose0]

Great video! I worked a lot of scenes with the Ornge rotary team out of Thunder Bay when I was a vol. firefighter. Never had a bad experience, the crew and pilots were always professional, friendly, and always went out of there way to lend us a hand when they could. Those pilots could put it down in some of the harshest conditions with limited space/visibility. I have so much respect and envy for these select few that play an integral role with first responders to ensure the patient gets emergency care quickly.

[@PilotTeacher]

Hey Jamie. Yes they do have some great pilots and every EMS team is so important for the community they serve no matter which profession they do.

[@iflyhelos]

Aw 139 is one of the most advanced , premium and coolest instrument to fly this is so crazy awesome video

[@PilotTeacher]

Yep its a pretty badass machine!

[@eagle17711]

Forgot to switch the Cross Feed to OFF…Shut down checklist not complete 😜…Keep up the good work guys…happy landings.

[@PilotTeacher]

It will depend on what their company’s checklist dictates.

[@eagle17711]

@@PilotTeacher Checklists have to conform with the Rotor Flight Manual. Cross-feed is an important item, especially on startup and shutdowns for obvious reasons (FIRE). We can’t commend these guys enough for doing a great service for their community. Great video.

[@derwinjax]

Nice video. That’s a rugged machine. I watched how this particular AW model was designed and put to the market and she’s a beaut.

[@PilotTeacher]

She is a great machine and is going to be at the top of my favourite’s list for a long time.

Hello Chris Nice to see your doing well. This is Wayne Pitre, met you over 20 years ago now when you were working with Harold B ;Then at Greatlakes . Good for you Chris Cheers Wayne

[@anthonyf.9170]

Very nice Aircraft and a noble mission, getting the pilot to talk more and engage the interviewer was like pulling teeth.

[@PilotTeacher]

Hahaha yeah he was not used to talking on camera. It is daunting to many people that are not used to it.

[@devinstetler6874]

So cool, thanks for sharing. Studying for my IFR and hope to be hired by Ornge when I’m done! Very cool video!

[@PilotTeacher]

You’re welcome and good luck!

[@jamesdahmer5027]

come visit our hoist operations at blackcomb helicopters in Squamish!

[@PilotTeacher]

Hey James! I visited the SAR operation for Talon a few years back and it was great. Im no longer doing the videos but flying Blackcomb’s 135 SAR machine would be a dream job for me but that not going to happen. Id love to have a visit though as I now live in the lower mainland, but no filming im afraid.

[@chippyjohn1]

I love engineering, but I also love simplicity. Thanks for the video.

[@PilotTeacher]

You’re welcome!

[@pilotpeego1820]

Very informative video. Awesome!👍

[@wrxsnowman]

Had no clue the avionics were almost identical to the Embraer 170-195 family of aircraft that I fly. MCDU, radios, PFD/MFD are darn near the same.

[@PilotTeacher]

Yep the Primus Epic suite is a pretty popular avionics background in many types of aircraft. Their fleet of Pilatus PC-12s have a very similar suite to the AW139s. A super nice platform to fly IFR with.

[@Huliaho]

Great video but you might want to go back into KZbin editor and extend the blur for the number, there's a big enough gap at the bottom to where I was able to read the numbers on my 50in TV that I was watching on. I didn't take them down but someone else might. On a smaller screen it would be easy to not notice that while editing.

[@PilotTeacher]

At the time we thought it might be an issue but to be honest if someone wants to pay the bill for calling a satphone and then the aircraft being airborne and the phone turned on at that exact time is small.

[@Huliaho]

@@PilotTeacher ok that's really good to know. I really appreciate the reply.

[@MuhammadKamran-te1hd]

Informative

[@vincentwesolowski459]

Great video. WOW, Talk about a sophisticated machine! Ok, I have to ask….. the avionics that you were blanking out? If you were blanking them out for security reasons I guess you won’t tell us but can you give us a hint?

@@PilotTeacher great videos, thanks a lot. Awesome channel.

[@tonyrowland9216]

The only way to meet the REQURIMENTS is to be a former military pilot. No way a civilian can get those hrs.

[@PilotTeacher]

Not at all. You can get those hours within several years flying the right jobs in North America. I flew 600 hours in one year so it can soon rack up.

[@PilotTeacher]

Also, only around 3% of all the air ambulance pilots I know in Canada are ex-mil.

[@klacklery]

Perhaps in the US, but mostly because those programs are part 135 and then fall under higher requirements from the FAA. But it is absolutely doable to get the hours needed, especially if you get a gig with the oil platforms down in the Gulf

[@PilotTeacher]

@@klacklery exactly. Flying offshore, tours, flight instruction, utility, Corporate VIP, and police can all rack up hours real quick. Once you hit EMS though, the yearly flying totals can really take a hit!

[@c.gauthier6025]

This reminds me of the ORNGE scandal, the incompetence of government oversight was unbelievable.Chris Mazza and many others should be in jail!

[@PilotTeacher]

To this day I still have no idea how they didn’t get any jail time!

[@PilotTeacher]

Then you will love the next interview I have for you! Other end of the world though!

[@blopin2002]

I'm undergoing a selection process for becoming a military pilot, and I've been told on multiple occasions that my disposition to be a helicopter pilot was not common. Is this true, and do you know the most common after-contract jobs that ex-army pilots go for?

[@PilotTeacher]

Yep going to be a helicopter pilot is a very popular option. Most ex-mil pilots I know tend to fly EMS, Police of Wildfire.

[@blopin2002]

@@PilotTeacher That’s great to hear, those I asked were from the fighter pilot vocations and may not have a clear insight into the rotary squadrons. I’m not sure if you’re able to give your notion on this, but would it be better to fly an gunship, transport, or antisubmarine helicopter if I were to maximise my future career prospects?

[@PilotTeacher]

@@blopin2002 chopper is a chopper buddy! Not much work for those exact profession’s in the civilian world hahaha. Any flying experience is good flying experience.

@@blopin2002 awesome!!!

[@scorpiaone3843]

I'm based in Australia so you may not have the answers. However, is there an expectation straight out of flight school that you pay for your own advancement through ratings and endorsements? For example, will someone employ you with low-time hours and pay for you to obtain your instrument rating, turbine time, NVFR etc? I would think many inexperienced pilots would be willing to sign up for minimum return of service agreements if it means progression can be more affordable, as well as working alongside experienced pilots? I'm convinced I can put myself through flight school, however if the expenses continue to climb even after flight school for ratings and endorsements it doesn't financially stack up no matter how badly I want it. P.S. EMS is my goal so this video was fantastic, thank you

[@PilotTeacher]

Most companies will not pay for any ratings for someone straight out of flight school. There are the lucky few who get hired and get given some turbine training for example. Most students try and get some time in a job flying pistons for a year or two then try applying for a turbine job. Getting yourself 3-5 hours on a Jet Ranger or Astar after flying the piston helis for 500 hours or so will stand you in a lot better position for them to hire you and put more training into you. Only once you have some really good experience will companies start putting endorsements and ratings into you. They will need to see you as a committed investment or they will not spend the time or money training you. Think about it this way…..A stranger knocks on your door and wants $5-10K but promises to work really hard for it. Would you open your wallet and take that risk? I wouldn’t! Hope this helps.
