More Helicopter Training with Lester - Commercial Checkride Prep

Lester is back as I prepare for my Commercial Helicopter Checkride. Join me and Lester at Heli Expo! HTTPS://www.heliexpo.com

[@kevinmandrile5074]

Lester: "Damn you must had a good instructor!" Mover: "And humble too." I loved this moment, helicopter videos with Lester are always great 😎.

[@simonj126]

Military Huey pilot here (about 3500hrs) - loved watching back to basics. Memories of training on the 206. Cheers

[@bobdillon7254]

Man, when you nail your request for departure in the perfect pilot voice and ATC responds with "Say again?"....

[@14_yote5_oh5]

Hahaha I know that made me cringe a bit

[@billvs6505]

Love Lester's view of reality - last 25 feet... "this is where you kill everybody." Great instructor, to the point.

[@josephstevens9888]

Lester is cool... he reminds me of an upgrade trainer I had when I was active Air Force.... a lot of valuable knowledge and a ton of experience!

[@Satchfan10]

The com between ATC and 219 Juliet would have been enough for me to screw EVERYTHING up going on lmao. Thanks for sharing the progression Mover

[@patolt1628]

From a former H/C pilot: good training flight, looking very good, you are on the right track, for sure and I agree with Lester, you had a good instructor. So, in reference to your video about last year: forget 2021, 2022 will be fine. All the best

[@jetblastjim]

looks like Lester is doing ALOT better. Be safe. Fly Straight.

[@richardm2661]

Good to see Lester back on the channel

[@Iamthelolrus]

I love the airwolf style intro!

[@codyzumr4040]

Who dosent!

[@ted1728]

Awesome video!! Good to see Lester and Mover in the machine again.

[@sgtborg1]

Lester reminds me of the f4 phantom pilots from Vietnam such badasses but love to tell you stuff and is glad your with him talking

[@rorygallegos7581]

Good to see the both of you! 1👍🤙

[@markaoslo5653]

1:00 - We've got Lester, and the theme-tune... We're starting at a 👍, and only getting better!

[@ronmoore5827]

Always nice to see Lester!

[@zde1532]

Haven't watched it yet but i already know it's gonna be a banger!

[@jellowiggler]

always good to see Lester!

[@blaire8288]

I get a sneaking suspicion that Mover will be working with the sheriff office heli unit after he's completed commercial.

[@nickagapion1925]

I was wondering the same

[@Austin.D]

with all the flying he's been doing with them I wouldn't be surprised

[@Str8From215]

Lester is the man !

[@vincentgiasson7551]

WOW Lester is back!!! Great video, Thanks Mover!!!

[@TheDevilRisen5308]

Lester's back!!!! Sweet vid, Thanks Mover!

[@LasseHolmstrom]

Cool, reminded me on when i was in flight School in the Huges 300, pinnacle landings during mountain training, max slope landings, confined are landings and takeoff, sling load, pretty intense period in Commercial flightshool

[@Johnny.f.face1]

Would be awesome to see Lester demo maneuvers.

[@chugly11]

21J needs a safety pilot at this point.. good lord. Nice job riding the 6 sec bull in those winds, mover. Cheers.

[@scottanderson2879]

Whoop whoop. Yes we get some Lester🤩

[@RobRoam]

That was awesome - loved every second! Thanks for the share.

[@standartenfuhrerhanslanda343]

A couple of American heroes. 🇺🇸

[@richb313]

Good to see Lester back but even then just seeing them bicker is entertaining.

[@A122345z]

Nice job Mover! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@JamesDavis-sc6zl]

Also, let "Lester" know his instructorship has been "instrumental" in motivating my desire to fly Helicopters. Thanks "Lester"!!

[@lcamber]

anytime! good luck and contact me if i can help!

[@JamesDavis-sc6zl]

I am so glad you are showing your Helicopter Training. As I get older, I realize if I want to continue to fly, flying Helicopters is the only way to go. The new designs are really like a flying car. The maneuverability unquestionably meets all of my flying needs for my age and as I get older. I once hated Helicopters and vowed I would never fly an "Egg Beater". "Mover", not only have you "Ruined" all of my aviation movies, you also "Ruined" my vow to never fly an "Egg Beater". I am now a "Helicopter Convert". I now dream of flying and owning the Robinson R44 Raven II or something like it. Thanks "Mover"!!

[@williammccormick966]

LUV THE WIND THREAD 😎

[@toolmakerdave5287]

there was a medical chopper went down in Philadelphia today, looked pretty bad, but they credit the pilot for no one seriously injured. might be interesting to find out more about this

[@62heliman]

good luck on your check ride when that day comes. We all will be praying for you.

[@kenmeyer100]

Your auto full touchdown will leave the examiner awestruck...:) - The intense training with Dr Salmon will pay

[@Chris_Martin707]

That country dude on the radio in the background was hilarious. Scary, but hilarious.

[@frankhollein7093]

Like what I see. I would recommend you for the Space Shuttle Program. If there was one. Those dead stick landings make Space Cowboys look easy.

[@rockyv9228]

Nice....I like the modified "Airwolf" theme 👍🏾🤘🏾🤙🏾

[@slgarrett]

Kisses/bounces count as landings for the logbooks. Totally. ;-)

[@MrThuggery]

Nice vid Mover, always entertaining with Lester.

[@SammyTheDitchDoctor]

You may have mentioned this before, are you flying out of KNEW? South side of the lake?

[@slowb4lls1]

AIRWOLF THEME MAN !!! Love it, knew you were a alright dude bro! Good stuff man

[@lynnecheermom]

Alright it's a clear, clear, clear day!

[@HellBatDC]

Love the vids with Lester. Any updates on his hurricaned property? Were they able to recover anything?

[@sloopbollocks5466]

Some really smooth flying there, Mover :)

[@alexv5261]

The similar notes to the Air Wolf intro was great! Another great video.

[@chadwilliamson2810]

Love the shoes mover.. lol

[@SpaceWolfPainter]

That Intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Dandalore]

Props for the Air Wolf cover at the start.

[@CAPFlyer]

Great video and work toward that commercial checkride Mover! Also, in reference to the Mirage wanting to do the fly-by of the tower, since they told him they saw something "pop out" after the gear went up, unless he did a gear swing there on the ground, I think he wanted them to see if like a door fell open or something after the gear went up.

[@hanzunpuritan2295]

Hey mover you should get an interview with Kim "killer chick" cambell she has amazing stories that i think would groove well with your channel

[@thusharikabotheju5655]

yes i finally fixed the recommendation proble, also great video i love seeing lester again

[@JayEss414]

great flying !

[@fixedwing8907]

So much for skipping over the Commercial and going straight to the ATP. :-)

[@rob737700]

A bunch of us suggested that you go for your commercial right from the start, but you rejected this advice at the time. Glad you are going for it, but why did you change your mind?

[@CWLemoine]

I needed 35 hrs PIC either way. Wouldn’t have changed a thing.

[@rob737700]

@@CWLemoine Got it. Good luck and have fun.

[@Garythefireman66]

The boys are back in town 🚁

[@krisjs1767]

Nice HYD off running landing. That is a very difficult maneuver.

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

The thumbnail of lester tonguing the microphone is classic

[@sebastianlaw22]

that messed up airwolf cover thingy intro get me every time...

[@rbmoose22]

Watched an AirWolf video on YT the other day and the copter went past Mach 1.0 and had a good laugh ! Thought of your channel since you use the theme song.

[@GhostHawk76]

Mover! How on earth you didn't review the Firefox film for Clint Eastwood in 1982!! Please make a special video to review it and let's have fun :)

[@indianajon7980]

Well that's my day made!!!

[@N34RT]

Remember your "5 - S's" and "5 - W's" for your off airport landings.

[@beardymcbeardface69]

There's something hanging off one of your wings, you wanna come back for a full stop to inspect? Nah I'm good. Thanks for your concern. Is that the gist of what I heard on the radio!?!? WTF!?!?

[@mikeshr2]

Great video. Can you do a 10 minute follow up with clips of some of the screw ups and explanation of what's exactly didn't go right? Cause you're not breaking the helicopter and a lot of times it's hard to figure out why seem unhappy with the outcome.

[@nevek20]

It's amazing our simple ape minds can do something like this...there is so much going on and he's simply doing low circuits at the airport.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

i wouldn't trust anyone but Lester for Heli training

[@starfleetau]

I like how mover tries to be hardest on himself and Lesters having to pull him up and go 'No'.. It's a common trait for any one but it's great to see the instructor noticing the students doing it and basically calling them out on it, you are at times your own worse critic.

[@BlueZirnitra]

"Dont be hard on yourself. That's what you pay me for"

[@texasdude5802]

Maverick is requesting a fly by to check his wings?

[@theeatonskbunk]

Lester didn't really explain why collective should be full down and then pull as needed when entering an auto. If you get used to putting the correction in immediately you might have problems getting required RPM when faced with a real engine out. In that case you won't be as prepared to react, inevitably the reaction will take longer and the RPM will be lower by the time the collective hits the stops. Combine that with less than perfect pitch attitude and things get worse. If muscle memory causes you to hedge on full down then RPM recovery will take even longer or not happen in time.

[@lhwildcat21]

TBM Avenger or Daher TBM lol big difference

[@JOHNSmith-hg3jj]

Pls do more mover Rollins movies, I love the way u just gave that info graphics guy a run for his money ,I actual watch that video it got me down but I never gave up and I am still doing more research . 👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️

[@liquidxlegend4572]

Whats the best path to becoming a "commercial" helicopter pilot? If thats what they are called. Have always been interested in rotorcraft

[@danieduplooy4406]

Mover how many hours do you need ontop of your ppl to test for commercial?

[@CWLemoine]

35 hrs PIC

[@danokochan1550]

Nice T6s in the back

[@tommartin4501]

I like your sunglasses... what brand are they

[@TheWabbitSeason]

@8:50 - Effective transitional lift. I knew that answer because of Casmo's videos.

[@cameronmerz8362]

Do you plan on getting a heli flying job since you are getting your commercial rating? Just wondering because getting to watch you fly police helos or something like that would be a cool edition to the channel.

[@CWLemoine]

Not presently. Just doing it before the helicopter gets sold.

[@kevinmadore1794]

There's enough T-6s there at Lakefront to start a Det.

[@Ruger9x19]

ATIS says Notice to Airmen instead of the authorized Notice to Air Missions.

[@thecoyotehunter6749]

Great Vid! Hey, what is the song called that starts at approx. 0.35. (its not the one listed in the video description)

[@Stepclimb]

It’s a cover of the theme song to the 1980’s TV show AIRWOLF.

loved it :)

[@owenjc9132]

I can fly a plane, but helicopters are just a whole different level

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Those pedal turns in wind are not easy, Mover makes it look easy.

[@kenmeyer100]

I first tried fixed wing and since my then instructor kept telling me I'd never gonna make it, I switched to helicopter. Turned out that fixed wing instructor was really an idiot

[@harpoon_bakery162]

@@kenmeyer100 Why would a fixed wing pilot ever say such a thing, I've never heard of an instructor being so negative like a high school teaching telling a student "you're never going to make it" because you had long hair and smelled of the chronic

I'm a newbie.... So help me out here .. You actually take off and then you come back to the strip to do the actual take off?? Is this a touch and go type exercise or something I clearly don't understand?...

yes pretty much, touch and goes

it is quite afew times practicing autorotations , i.e. simulating engine failure; the first one at kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGW1Y3WNo9ynjZY where he comes in short.

Right-off; this has been out, for 4-days now, and the algorithm, is just now showing me... 🤬 ❗🤯 algorithm!!! Cheers-

Well Mover, if you ever get a chance to fly in a Cobra, take it. More a fighter pilot's style. I'm sure you have some Marine friends.

Are those military owned Texan IIs or privately owned?

Military. Thus the reason he says "taxpayer toys" at 02:30

[@CAPFlyer]

US Navy. They paint all their trainers white and orange.

[@davidwhite2011]

Lester!

[@MichaelHeliGuy]

Everything is looking great! I passed my commercial checkride last week. This was my last prep video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5_EkJetgMl5jaM. I practiced 180's for weeks with no wind, then on checkride day it was windy. I was coming up short, but milked it in the flare. Here's hoping for calm winds on your checkride day. Best of luck!

[@jacobham9915]

If you want to get technical the shudder at 8:50 is Transverse Flow, closely associated with Effective Translational Lift ;P Glad to see you turning blades some more Mover!
