And the windshield is filthy.

Control fouling just waiting to happen. ***The flight controls are all installed in the left seat, is she a pilot, if not stupid mistake and accident waiting to happen. Why is the passenger NOT strapped in, shoulder straps hanging off especially the right one hanging down into the collective control area, both right and left side.

@@lessharratt8719the windshield just has fog on it and it disappeared pretty fast so idk what ur on about

If the red light is blinking, time to start thinking. No unauthorized person should be near there anyway.

It's a methodical inspection, checking bottom to top for broken connections, corrosion, obstructions, etc. On each of the arms and stands. We do these with a 500, doing it with a longy is cool though

If you had a college degree, you'd spell college correctly. ;-) ;-) Sorry couldn't resist that.

I don’t think you need a degree to fly.

you don´t need any degree to become a helicopter pilot. You just have to pass the theory exams.

It depends on the type of helicopter. Some helicopters like Bell 206 have a counter clockwise rotor system (blades rotate counter clockwise) in which case right pedal is needed to counteract torque, and other helicopters like the Cabri G2 have clockwise rotor systems (blades rotate clockwise) and the torque is now in the opposite direction, so left pedal is needed. Hope this answers your question.

@@CoolStuff108 Yeah thanks for trying to explain it but its the other way around thats why im asking - CCW rotor systems need left pedal to counter the torque - think about it the rotore is moivng CCW pushing the chassis CW so you need left pedal to counter it. Hes also using left pedal when hes hovering, but whenever he picks up airspeed and translational lift he actually starts using right pedal and it looks like he is in trim doing in that way which i dont understand.

@@Kabivelrat Not as much tail rotor pitch is required at higher airspeeds, right pedal reduces the pitch.

You are correct. Left anti-torque is needed to counteract the tendency for the body to rotate to the right under power. If you watch at lift off, you will see a small amount of left pedal to balance out the relatively high power required at takeoff. As airspeed increases, the tail tends to 'weathervane' the aircraft and less anti-torque is required. However, let's say that there was a fairly strong prevailing crosswind 90 degrees from the left. This would blow the tail right, nose left and this would require right pedal to keep the aircraft straight. It is not really 'anti torque' at this point, just simply keeping it pointing where you want it. The tail is relatively far from the centre of gravity so even the slightest crosswind will have a relatively large amount of turning force. There are no specific aerofoil surfaces to help mitigate the effects of the crosswind other than the tailfin doing its best to keep the aircraft straight. Various other factors can effect things of course but that is just an example. Some interestingly incorrect things being mentioned in the comments though - which you correctly pointed out :)

Better to use the right pedal than to use the wrong pedal.

Drones cost too much as of now and ya can’t replace the human eye,, those cameras are 1 dimensional

@@waynehobson2956 why are drones to expensive?

I don`t think that this kind of job will be done by drones that soon. I talked to a pilot here in Germany, who does that kind of stuff in a 407. He told me the power company whose powerlines he inspects tried to do it with drones for a few weeks, and afterwards signed a contract for 10 more years of helicopter. Drones have to stop sooner when it`s windy or rainy, they are much slower, have less endurance, you need more people moving around on the ground, and if something looks wrong, you need someone to climb up there, while in the helicopter there is an expert already in place.

@@noahpfeifer6931 I too have heard such things from old pilots, like me, telling the same lies. I am especially amused at the idea of a 10 year contract! That’s the real clue the guy is telling a whopper. Look, I love helicopters….I fly helicopters….but drones are the future of this kind of work. They can get closer, have cameras that are far superior to the best human eye, and cost a fraction to operate while being more environmentally friendly.

Looks like morning condensation to me. It disappeared shortly after starting up.

It’s condensation 😂

Yeah 👍👍👍 but they did a 5 minutes warm up and checked instruments. Plus gps is critical to finding out the destinations even when flying.
