As always, a big thank you to PHI for allowing me the opportunity share my aviation journey. Also a big thank you to Potomac Approach and my medical crews for putting up with me! :)
It has been a career long dream to be able to fly IFR in a helicopter. I had always thought I would have to join the military to have this opportunity. A year ago the Front Royal, VA AirCare4 base transitioned to from the Bell 407 to the EC135 helicopter. This past November I went to Texas and spent 3 weeks at Flight Safety International, attending their single pilot IFR course for the EC135 helicopter. Upon completion of the SPIFR course it was to cold to fly in the clouds (below freezing = icing) to enjoy my new training.
I have a license to learn. I will be the first to tell you that I have much to learn, especially in the IFR world of aviation. My flight wasn't perfect by any means but hopefully you will learn from my experience.
Next time I will do better.
May we all never stop learning how to do things better and safer! Fly Safe!

Helicopters also use stepped altitudes for certain unpublished (for GA aircraft) approaches, such as specific island helipads and oil platform landings in 0/0 IMC conditions, until they reach minimums. Airplane don’t do those types of approaches. There is no radio aid to navigation on platform landings, but there is RNAV.

Yep, which is why 2 person crew is mandatory in countries like Canada, UK, Germany etc. Even with a pic/co pilot, it can get very busy in the cockpit when in IFR, especially when flying through densely populated city airspace. A two person crew would’ve kept Kobe Bryant from perishing. Whats nice about EMT flights(rotorcraft or fixed wing), is that ATC will almost always prioritize their routes, altitude and potential conflicting traffic, even over the heavy’s? Another necessity for EMT pilots is NVG goggles, since the large majority of crashes are at night.

@colt10mmsecurity68 Жыл бұрын

@@crazyralph6386 EMS (not “EMT”) flights are only prioritized when they are actively carrying a patient on board and include in the call sign the word “lifeguard __________.” Other than that, they’re not going to get priority from IFR flights within the local (“terminal”) area, unless the controller is in a good mood and isn’t overloaded with either IFR departures or arrivals.

IFR is IFR. Autopilot definitely isn’t a mandatory. If you can’t operate the aircraft manually you shouldn’t operate the aircraft.

Was IFR rated in helicopters before getting IFR rated in airplanes. Wasn't really any different in practice. In forward flight a helicopter is really just another airplane if you think about it. But it is different in subtle ways that matter. Definitely paying attention more in a helicopter at lower altitudes.

@LowandFast357 2 жыл бұрын

Respectfully disagree. I've done both. And while the helicopter takes more hand-eye-foot coordination, and is a little less forgiving, approaches in IMC are challenging regardless. When compared to some airplanes though (faster larger aircraft) one could argue that a plane is harder. For example, flying an approach at 140 KIAS as compared to rotorcraft that can do this much slower. It means everything is happening incredibly fast. Helicopters have the luxury of slowing down and managing the workload with a lesser forward movement. Airplanes don't always have that luxury (depending on performance of course). Additionally, he's flying coupled approaches and that changes the whole dynamic. If he were hand flying all of these, I would agree that the workload is pretty high and more challenging than a fixed wing with comparable airspeed. But use of the autopilot really mitigates task saturation and helps to reduce the workload a ton.

@mikeparker6322 2 жыл бұрын

@@LowandFast357 I'm talking about strictly hands on flying without the aid of an autopilot or a flight management system. The physical nature of handling the collective, cyclic and pedals was just exhausting and I could not imagine just looking at the instruments and making a stabilized approach in in IMC in a helicopter.

@LowandFast357 2 жыл бұрын

@@mikeparker6322 I get that for sure. And I agree that the collective adds a unique touch. Same with anti-torque pedals. But having done and worked with both, I must admit that fixed wing has its own challenges for rotorcraft guys. It's the velocity and how quickly things happen. It's the fact that you're always committed to moving forward. And of course, multiple engines matter, complexities matter, etc. For example, take a helo pilot and put him in a jet, even a small jet like a Citation or Lear. It'll eat his lunch for weeks to come. Eventually they get used it it, yes, but it's the same if you transition an airplane pilot into rotor wing. Admittedly, the learning curve for helicopters is steeper, but my point is that once you have the acumen and experience, it's no different than an being in a fixed wing.

Well, due to stupid decision making, he managed to kill everyone on board becssue he wanted to impress, rather than save lives through prevention. He could have told Kobe, “sorry but we can’t continue.”

@samreilly1484 6 ай бұрын

@@colt10mmsecurity68 why are you parroting this false narrative?! That's not true! The day started out normally and the LAPD grounding their choppers is irrelevant because visibility was 4 miles with an overcast ceiling of a quarter mile and they all have their own standards. Kobe didn’t pressure the pilot into doing anything and plus he had his daughter Gianna’s and other 13-year-old girls’ lives to consider. The pilot made his own decision to underestimate the fog (which he didn’t even know he’d encounter until about 90 miles into the 100-mile flight and 40 miles northwest of LA) because he’d encountered fog too many times and he didn’t think he’d have to abort until it was too late. But unlike this video, the fog turned out to be just too dense. One of Kobe’s other pilots named Kurt said Kobe never pressured any pilots into doing anything. Any pressure the pilot felt was self-induced. But this was still 100% preventable and would have been prevented if the pilot had aborted the flight immediately instead of underestimating the fog. Doesn’t matter that the helicopter’s first encounter with fog wasn't until 90 miles into the 100-mile flight and 40 miles northwest of LA or how many times the pilot encountered fog or that Kobe had done this fateful helicopter ride every morning since January 2 (his 13-year-old daughter was only with him when she wasn’t in school). Abort means abort!

Orville Wright lived through WW2. He died in 1948, well after the X-1 broke the sound barrier. He witnessed the dawn of the jet age and surely had some sense of what the future might hold. But still, a lot of amazing things have come about since 1948 too. But remotely controlled drones (early autopilot tech) existed and were used successfully in WW2 (read up on the TDR-1 mission against Japan). And helicopters had been used in WW2, and IFR flight was developed prior to WW2. But now were have bigger, more powerful, composites, faster, higher flying, computers, etc. But he'd still recognize most of it.
