Flying Alaska MD520N Logging LZ

Flying Alaska MD520N

[@henkeH2]

This has got to be the most intense view from a helicopter I have ever seen! Great flying, thanks for posting.

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Thanks it's was a fun job!

[@Zatracenec]

Holy shit! That was ace! Such a narrow space there and keeping the skid on the log....awesome!

[@Big.Ron1]

Wow! That's a real confined LZ. Very cool, thank you.

[@cassianbonga9300]

Talking about confine space. Sir that is impressive 👌🏽

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Thanks man! Love the 520n!

[@Zatracenec]

I can´t stop watching this. :-D Crystal clear quality and amazing skills.

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Thanks man it was a fun Job! I maybe heading back to Alaska in March!

[@TransferAir]

🚁👍🏼‼️ great clip! Damn, I can’t find the MD Heilicopters - Commercial spot again for the NOTAR Technology where a MD520 N was flying slowly backwards into a tree without crashing to show this genius invention. I saw this years ago on KZbin & it was so impressive! 🚁👍🏼‼️ If someone of you guys here in the comment section knows the link, pls let me know, thx!

[@tonygeishauser440]

Really tight quarters. Weren't you afraid you'd stick the tail rotor in the trees? I did a similar landing in Vietnam and had two crewmen on the skids to make sure we didn't back into a tree. While we were working on the landing the VC showed up and shot us down. Great landing on your part. Kudos from someone who can really appreciate what you did.

[@KeithPatterson369D]

It's a Notar so tail rotor to stick in the trees!

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Thanks for your service! Kudos to you and what you did for all of us! You are a real hero!

Great hover to hold on left skid so the worker can exit out and great job

Smooth, controlled, slow and precise....always stabelized.....even whoever looks at the Spider Tracks is smiling! Goin' out is way easier though!!

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Thanks man! That was a deep hole! I really miss that type of flying! I am now flying a 500 scanning for gas leaks! LOL!

And not a single inch of left pedal was spared that day

[@henkeH2]

Just Dew It! Why is he using so much left pedal?

[@bluemarshall6180]

Just Dew It! He's using Left Pressure to the Left.

[@ViperVenoM13]

@@henkeH2 because to counter the torque of main rotor, the more the collective is high the more left pedal you put, if i remember well my X-Plane 10 experience 😁

[@agentdesneiges1445]

Yes crazy!!

[@bojanl100]

He is using high power of the main rotor while changing the blade's pitch (for quicker reaction if needed) ,so he use left ped.so

[@bullygram]

That's brilliant man, if the blades ever touches the trees then its done. Its the pilots experience dictates here!

[@CraigMansfield]

Cool. Great flying

[@ictpilot]

Two of my favorite helos, the Hughes 500D, yes I said Hughes. And the S76C.

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Mine is an MD520Notar! But I love the Hughes 500D also!

[@ictpilot]

@@KeithPatterson369D Yes Sir, I knew it was a 520 NOTAR. Great helo isn't it?

[@KeithPatterson369D]

@@ictpilot it's the Best! Smoother, quieter and more anti torque then the 500 D or È! Awesome helo!

Piloto fantástico 👏😎👏😎👏😎

[@Galactic-Jack1978]

My favorite light heli flown nice and low. How awesome is that! I assume you've landed there before judging by those Logs with the flattened tops?

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Let off survey crews! The logs were cut too wide for the 520 so I just balanced on the left skid so they could exit the aircraft!

[@Galactic-Jack1978]

[@ethankeast9966]

[@dougcallahan171]

Long as that engine keeps running everything is good

[@volador2828]

That and the blades don't touch anything...

[@jderpz23]

Brian Callahan the blades on the helicopter is to keep him cool. Don’t think so? Stop them and watch the pilot start panicking and sweating.

[@soaceba]

So that's what a real life max performance take off looks like

[@majobis]

interesting landing pads. Just two big ole piece of trees flat spotted by chain saws for something to land on

[@KeithPatterson369D]

That is what 90% of Alaska man made LZ are! Logs put in place to land on!

A ton of left pedal on landing. Is that a notar thing or was it very high altitude.

[@louislakey808]

What do the pedals do?

[@KeithPatterson369D]

Anti Torque! The more you pull in the more left pedal you need! Keeps the nose going the direction you want it to! I also use left pedal to help side slip as I am going into the hole!

It’s makes it nice not having a tail rotor in places like this

An R44 would have settled on those same logs just fine, BUT they'd have to lift it out with a Huey. They have no power for that tight vertical takeoff.

Not only would an r44 easily go into and out of there, so would an r22. Either one could do it with full passengers in these conditions.
