Fun seeing the "Gelbe Engeln" of ADAC again. I was told that I was the only American ever invited to try out for ADAC as a Rettungsflieger. Extremely demanding selection process, a week up in Hamburg at the Luft u. Raumfahrt Center... 10 Pilots showed up, a mix of German Heer, Luftwaffe and Marine...and me the sole Ami. Only two slots were open, I came in 3rd place. I was guaranteed a slot the next spring...but I returned to active duty and ended up going to Afghanistan twice and to Africa in Special Operations assignments. Today, years later seeing the Eurocopter factory again made me smile because I'm rated in every model they make now. Gute Arbeit Jungs! Weitermachen!

As a 'First Responder' at Industrial job sites, not enough can be said of EMS or the crews that unselfishly go into danger at the site of the accident. My job, now disabled, was to make a safety check of the location and either render aid there or to remove the victim before EMS was even to arrive. Nice that these EMS have such good support and that the chances for the victim's survival have so improved across the years.

17:09 I would like to have seen proper secondary locking plates to prevent those nuts from coming undone due to vibration. Those castle nut pins and lockwiring always feels a bit like a work-around to me. Given the lengths they go to I think it is a reasonable request to have proper secondary locking features. Clamp the primary structural nuts in place once they have been torqued.
@trespire4 жыл бұрын
@Mark Freeman Not sure about using locking plates, or locking tab washers. Industry grade ( non aviation ) have been known to loosen up and move in situ. As an air frame fitter I wasn't officially trained in most threaded fastenrs. On the other hand lockwire-nuts and wire are used intensively on J79 & F-110 engines ancillary components.
@tensevo4 жыл бұрын
@@trespire I think tabs are poor choice too. What you want I would expect, are locking plates that lock the nut in position once it has been torqued. The locking plates themselves may then use, say threadlocking compound, lock tabs or lockwire. These latter options are frought with problems since they are hard to visually inspect that they are doing their job.
@trespire4 жыл бұрын
@Mark Freeman I'm afraid you've lost me there. I'm not sure what locking plates look like, I have an Idea what they might look like, maybe even seen them. I was an air frame structural mechanic then an air frame fitter. So I never actually work with this type of hardware. I'll have to look it up.
@tensevo4 жыл бұрын
@@trespire Locking plates simply look lke a hollow nut that slides over the outer hex profile of the nut, with a fixing point so that the nut can be clamped locked solid once the main nut is torqued. This way , the nut will not be able to overcome the friction and start to come undone.

@ChrisA7X893 жыл бұрын
It's not for aerodynamic reasons either. In fact it's less effective than a conventional tail rotor. It's main benefit (at least it's promoted that way) is that it's quieter in certain frequency ranges (in which the noise emissions are being measured at) so you can promote it as one of the most silent helicopters in it's class. In general it's still too loud
