This is the fifteenth 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.
Some highlights of this lesson:
- Demonstration of how the correlator works
- Demonstration of how quickly the RPM decays in an R22
- Governor off operations in a hover
- Simulated engine failures and other emergencies
- Running landings
- Flying to and from a new airport
Below the video are time-stamped notes/tips for the flight.
NOTES/TIPS:
00:25 make sure fuel gauges match quantity added/ dipped with stick
02:50 good to sense when pulling more power than usual and to know the reason (heavy/hot/high or an Mx issue?)
07:00 fly under airplane traffic pattern (below 1000 AGL) until,well clear of the pattern
07:30 know your Vne for the day
08:20 visual scanning technique
10:45 know wind direction using dust and water surfaces
12:00 using flight over a road, noting crab angle to help identify wind direction
13:30 PAVE checklist to identify risks/hazards
14:15 alternator light emergency procedure
18:20 airport advisory request
19:00 think about prevailing winds and runways in use when approaching an airport
22:45 add extra 1.5 inches to limit if full carb heat
24:00 aircraft using both crossing runways requires increased situational awareness
29:15 don’t be rushed when landing with traffic behind, you have right of way
31:05 demonstration of how quickly rotor rpm decays
33:30 demonstration of governor off during hover and how correlator alone works
38:00 governor off hovering maneuvers
45:30 tip on how to safely clear your blind side
46:25 demonstration of low rpm recognition and recovery in a hover
49:00 demonstration of rotor rpm affects lift (velocity squared)
50:45 student low rpm recognition and recovery in hover
57:10 simulated engine failures
59:15 explaining the minimum altitude regulations for helicopters
1:06:00 running landing
