This is the thirteenth training flight in a series following a student through his flight training from day 1 to checkride in an R22.
Due to flying with one door off, the airflow creates some extra noise, which means some interference in the audio in some parts of the video.
In this lesson we introduce a simulated engine failure, requiring an autorotation.
We also work on recognition and recovery of low rotor RPM and more governor off flying.
We also work on other maneuvers and flying tips/suggestions.
Below the video are time-stamped notes/tips for the flight.
NOTES/TIPS:
00:09 set your radios and navigation on the ground if possible
00:40 verify the details match your intended destination
02:45 get weather and any other preflight items done before rolling up to flight RPM
05:45 know the calm winds runway and listen to taxing traffic radio calls to know which runway is in use
08:30 start to build a mental picture if traffic in the area
09:55 look for traffic in run up areas when departing part way down a runway
15:10 stay aware of vicinity to nearby airspace
16:55 turbulence and low G
17:50 demonstration of low RPM recognition and recovery
19:35 student low RPM recognition and recovery
23:20 keep looking outside, don’t be consumed by watching RPM when governor off
24:45 turbulence affects on RPM
25:45 always know where wind is coming from
25:25 demonstration of simulated engine failure
29:25 student simulated engine failures
38:30 estimating traffic closure time
39:00 demonstration simulated engine failure, avoiding nose drop and making mayday call
45:30 things to consider when approaching an airport
49:05 use “standby” phrase ensure ‘sterile cockpit’ when needed
52:20 air taxi to hover
54:15 air taxi to quick stop
59:10 hover autos
1:01:55 commit first three steps of shut down checklist to memory to secure aircraft before grabbing checklist
