„How to avoid a Vortex Ring State in helicopter operations“ part I of III

[@adrianlindsay3194]

Excellent explanation and visual aids to help pilots visualize things that aren't always obvious or easy to understand. I'd be willing to bet what someone see's here will save a life someday. Cheers from Canada!

[@christopherpeters5916]

Airspeed is King.. move in to clear air. Into the wind if possible keeping clear of obstacles. Is this correct?

[@michaeltietzyou]

this is the best explanation on this dangerous subject i have seen in my piloting career. THANK´s from GERMANY

[@chuckfrezzel348]

It really is the best I have ever seen as well.

Hello, excellent educational and safety presentation. Thank You everybody @ Vuichard Recovery Aviation Safety Foundation

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Thanks for your comment, we appreciate it.

[@TamasLaszlo-83]

Awesome video!😊It describes very good this phaenomena! Maybe one time in the early 2000's I experienced this VRS by an Alouette II helicopter (I was the passenger). When we approached the airport the helicopter started to descend faster and the sound of the main rotor has changed. I remember the variometer's indicator turned down permanent. It was a bit scarry. Then the pilot accelerate the speed and we landed safe. He said he surprised also...😉

[@stevefox6864]

Excellent presentation and very interesting

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Thank you, happy landings Claude Vuichard

[@어쭈구링]

Awsome! When will part 2 be uploaded?

[@Jameswrightdavid]

Amazing video! The VRS build up sector diagram was exceptional!

[@ueberalleberge]

Excellent Video! Outstanding Footage and lesson on live saving flight training!

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it.

[@jonathanludgater5621]

Fantastic thanks, learned some really useful stuff and can now apply it to my machine,

[@reto-louisrivellini8075]

This was a really good documentation.

[@rezwanibnnoor1598]

Awesome Excellent phase by phase explanations and great graphical representation

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Thank you kindly!

[@bongfrosch88]

Awesome video! Thank you

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Glad you liked it!

[@andre8223]

Awesome video. Danke!

[@m.a1804]

We need part 2

[@tonozk2022]

Excellent video, very educational. Will you have an example or demonstration with heavier helicopters type MI-171?

[@ledgeri]

"Be aware that without applying a Vortex recovery technique, you will hit the planet at these speeds." Already "Ingenuity and future interplanetary helicoptering"-aware I LOVE IT!

[@LokiDWolf]

This video was very well done! Fantastic editing!!! And, it really makes things easy to understand. There were a few parts I had to go back to but so what. That's the point of the video. And, because of the way it was made I didn't get bored or feel lost. I also didn't fall asleep. Heh

[@davidwallace5738]

Great video lesson sir. Thank you!

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

My pleasure!

[@tomglista]

This is Part one of three. Is there a part 2 or part 3?

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Exactly, we are currently starting production on Part II.

Theres been several fatal helo crashes caused by mast-bumping while attempting this maneuver. The best way to prevent this, is to avoid it. Robinsons r notorious for mast-bumping.

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

The video is not about recoveries, but exactly how to prevent a vortex. Regarding your statement that there were several mast bumping during recovery, the cause is not in the procedure but somewhere else. In a VRS with a low disk helicopter you never reach a low g which could induce a mast bumping.

I am confused of whether TAS or IAS is the correct airspeed to use, when determining the airspeed required to enter the envelope for VRS. All the other literature on the subject says IAS, but this says TAS. From my best knowledge, I believe TAS should be used and here is why. Lets say a scenarios where you hover at 10000 ft. The headwind is 20 kts (this is measured relative to the ground, correct?) The TAS will be 20 kts, but the IAS will be 24 kts at this altitude. TAS will put you in the envelope but IAS will place you outside of it. I know the differences are small in this example, but I think it illustrates what I am getting at. Is this the correct way to understand this? If I am wrong, please explain why. Thanks

[@adhamhussain2120]

Bow did you calculated the g??

[@bivideo7]

"State". A year is a long time to let a simple typo go unedited in your headline.

[@vuichardrecoveryaviationsa8064]

Thank you

[@haramaschabrasir8662]

The US should finally switch to metric.

[@janep4652]

We tried that once in the seventies. The concept of multiplying by ten was too much to handle. Lasted about two weeks. Caused a Martian probe to miss the planet due to a mix of measurement units.

[@christopherpeters5916]

Probably bust your eardrums, eh?

[@edcew8236]

Distracting background noise. Also unnecessary, slow graphics.

[@ajdutari]

I strongly disagree with you, Sir. The video is engaging and informative.

[@CA2APat]

@@ajdutari Video is absolutely engaging, beyond educational and never distracting or slow imho.

[@kevinowen7388]

Just get on it with it will you and stop sh at the beginning with your warning lol 🙄

[@CA2APat]

no one forcing you to watch

[@smithclk]

Great video. Thanks a lot!
