Thank you very much. Once I finish the ACS stuff I will get on to more 'fun' helicopter content!

Thank you!

[@stevebushlonestarhelicopte2245]

Nice job on this video. 👍

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Thank you! 👍

[@lookingforwookiecopilot]

"Awareness Training" makes more sense.

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Yeah I think it will still be referred to as Awareness Training by many for years to come.

[@lookingforwookiecopilot]

​@@HelicopterTrainingVideos Just like BFR. 😅

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Yep, still have to catch myself on that one!

[@michaelpewtherer]

Since GIML isn’t a word, how about GERM ?

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Good idea, but GIML is already seared into my brain

[@dfender110]

Awesome work, the 44 does need to be removed

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

I expect some significant changes at the next revision.

[@mikeborkhuis7278]

Would the change to "authorized instructor" allow the ground training to be given by a ground instructor?

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

That is a great question! But if you read further in SFAR 73 it details how to become an 'authorized' instructor and includes the words 'flight training' - "...has satisfactorily demonstrated an ability to provide training on the general subject areas of paragraph 2(a)(3) of this SFAR, and the flight training identified in paragraph 2(b)(5)(iii) of this SFAR."

[@nocalsteve]

I don’t understand the issue with “certified” flight instructor, they are called CFIs for a reason.

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Agreed, but not the wording used in the rest of the regulations per the part 61 definition... www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/part-61#p-61.1(b)(Authorized%20instructor)

[@dutchboyish]

I would like more info on the R-44!

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Buying? Flying? Both? Where are you located?

[@paulbeades6681]

Surely if a helicopter has the ability to chop its tail off, it’s not fit to fly?

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

There a plenty of helicopters that will chop their tail off if you fly them outside their normally operating envelope. Just like there are many cars that will flip over if you steer abruptly full left or right at 70 MPH, etc.

[@nocalsteve]

Airplanes have the ability to rip their tails or wings off, does that mean they’re not fit to fly?

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

Good point!

[@Pork-Chopper]

Ok, ok. So we know the R22 n R44 are kinda flakey RotorCraft to fly. What's important to know here is also that Robinson has made an upgrade to the tail plane or tail stabilizer for both the R22 n R44 that require removing the old stabilizer that mostly hangs to one side of the tail boom, which, logically places alot of stress on the tail boom air frame. The new upgraded stabilizer now fits the stabilizer equilaterally, below n a bit to the front of the tail rotor, making for a better fitment n better weight distribution... These upgrades should be made to all Robinson's in service asap...

[@HelicopterTrainingVideos]

I believe Robinson are offering a significant discount (about half price) to get the newer stabilizer fitted to older aircraft.
