Hey all, wanted to share some more raw footage of what it's like to fly the OH-6A (MD-500) off of a tuna fishing vessel. I do my best to describe what I'm doing so it makes more sense for more viewers. It is not intended to be an instructional video nor am I a perfect pilot. I'm still a low time pilot just sharing what I do for a living.

Yeah, it's the perfect sized operation for freedom and gainful employment! If he was with a massive outfit - like a cruise ship or something international, they'd make him wear a stuffy uniform. Just chilling on the boat between flights...man I'd catch up on all my shows, gaming, and things I'm studying. Stargazing at night must be insane! The milkyway must be SO clear!

Only one suggestion when operating with doors OFF, don’t throw any loose items like those ipanel covers, stack cover, baffles or tie downs in the back seat. There’s a good chance those suckers will fly out the front, and possibility into the MR/TR, which will turn a beautiful day into a nightmare. Fly safe!

Also had lots of problems regarding transmission chip. As the aircraft is quite old now, the tranmission often had chip warning and had to land immediately. Is it same for american version?

May have been asked - why set up to pilot from left seat for this configuration / operation?
@sinfulldoubt
@sinfulldoubt 2 ай бұрын
Honestly I'm really not sure. I prefer right seat usually. My only real guess is so that you can have better visibility of the boat when landing on a tight ship

What is a "foamer and a breather"?
@sinfulldoubt
@sinfulldoubt 9 ай бұрын
It refers to where the school is. If they're at the surface, feeding they'll be splashing so much that it looks like foam on the surface and you can see it for miles. The breezers are harder because the fish are further down. But there's so many of them that they create their own current essentially that moves the water differently

Modern fish stocks don’t stand a chance. While this is a cool video, it’s wild to think that fish are being scouted from the sky before they are harvested. No wonder fisheries are collapsing around the globe.

It's for timing my flight. The start needs to be under a minute, the cool down is two minutes, I also have to be back on the deck by 2 hours. We're not supposed to trust the fuel gauge

How much JET-A does the ship keep onboard for the Helicopter
@sinfulldoubt
@sinfulldoubt Жыл бұрын
We can carry about 6,300 gallons of Jet A. But I'm not sure if they filled it all the way up. That would last us around 275 flight hours which we never got near

It depends on how far away they were. The boat usually would cruise at 13-15 knots and we would fly up to about 45 miles tops. So could be a few hours
