This is the twenty first 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:
- Max performance takeoff
- Off-airport landings
- 180° autorotations
- Running landings
Below the video are time-stamped notes/tips for the flight.
NOTES/TIPS:
02:15 running landing
06:50 demonstration of running landing from air taxi
11:30 running landing – nose slightly too high on touchdown
14:35 max performance take off talk through and 1st attempt
16:20 pre take off checks catch RPM not in the green
18:20 turboprop airplane patterns wide and at 1500 feet AGL
21:35 pull up to max continuous power to get to practice areas sooner (and practice flying like a commercial operator – time is money)
25:15 once in cruise observe gauge values to detect any trends before they become redline values
27:50 180 degree autorotations at altitude – watch horizon and manage RPM in turns
30:30 anticipate the RPM build when you feel heavy in the seat (g loading) and hear the RPM pitch increase
35:20 demonstration of 180 auto at altitude
37:15 talking through an off airport landing
39:40 always be prepared to abort the approach and know your out plan in advance
40:00 demonstration of off airport landing
44:35 scenario based training (SBT) – consider a realistic need/scenario to add extra depth to the training
48:10 watch out for starting wildfires
48:45 use down wash dispersion pattern to identify light wind direction
50:40 slope pickup- adjust disk as aircraft rolls
52:10 predict where over the ground ETL and the extra performance will occur
53:05 after takeoff from off airport check to make sure no ground fire started
58:40 entering a pattern on a 45 degree entry to downwind
1:03:10 straight-in autos to the aiming points (thousand foot markers)
1:08:20 clear above before climbing (airplanes going around overhead)
1:12:00 air taxi and quickstop (rapid deceleration)
