Good tip for your students, pick a small scratch on the windshield that lines up with your landing point, and make sure those two stay superimposed. Makes for a perfect approach everytime

i’m just a flight simmer but these videos are fantastic. i have no idea how you control helicopters as accurately as you do. i tip my hat!

So much great information in just over ten minutes of video - thank you.

That landing at the very end, how precise jesus

I have to say your vids are great ,I wish they were available when I went thru training fot lic. I think watching them while learning would of been a great help. I asked flight school for any flight aides like yours and there were none so detailed and helpful, ,I do hope you get your program into every flight schools program. You can get your practical training and then ground, then watch your vids to help you understand what you learned in field better,plus not be embarrassed of not getting something. I really like series on training struggles, everyone has there own one or two things they struggle with,i never had problem with autos,quick stops etc, my big thing and still is hover autos. I understand mechanics and everything but for whatever reason it never feels right . Im all ur vids I never heard you mention , which was pointed out by my checkride examiner, size of pilot. Meaning im a bigger person 210 lbs,6 foot, he said to me almost every bigger person whatever there weak points in flying were,tried to overcompensate by brute strength. Example with my hover autos I would yank cyclic much harder then needed , I wonder if you came across this as a CFI?

Love your videos, I've done my PPL at Sailease Aviation in South Africa in an Enstrom 280.

A really good video. Excellent Go Around advise! Airline guys suffer it as bad as anyone, maybe even worse. It's the pro that say "I'm going around", It's the Bold that try and savage an unstable approach. And we all know the Old vs Bold pilot phrase. Go Around, it's good for the soul and good for the ego! I love my 1 hr logged in the egg beater :)

I was trained to do powerchecks on dummy run into confined. Todate, never had lack of power to get out of a spot.

Great stuff...about 25 hours in and looking for all the tools available,,,thanks for these

You are absolutely right...why come in hot when you have the option for slow and easy...hell.. We are not flying combat missions! Nice and easy...thats the way to do it!

Very informative, good job explaining it to us all.... Life Flight pilot...

Hey Kenny, I crew our local ems chopper, not enough hrs to pic yet but I've been in the same situation, LZ identified by ground crew, and they call us on the radio to say LZ preped but we have often chosen one more suitable for us

On confined area landing can you hover above the confined area and slowly decend down wards with collective to spot.

I don't have a helicopter but if I did I would love to have you as my instructer. I can tell you know what you are talking about and you have a way of explaining it very clearly which meens a lota new pilot. My son is thinking about buying a hilicycle helocopter, It looks pretty safe. What is your opinion on the hilicycle? I enjoyed listening to you. Very good job, thanks and God Bless You

That s the problem i m having! Thanks! I m struggle on the end to flair and level lose the tail and get a messy... landing .. i came at 50kts to land to keep out of the curve

It was pretty useful for me

4:50 “to macho”?… too macho 😊

Biggest challenge. Money.

Dead Man's Curve only for take offs? Why? When You have engine failure during take off you still must land right? It doesn't make sense to me. Constant speed and flare right before landing make flight more safe and it's under H-V diagram.

Been flying with a new instructor this Summer, avoiding the autos as I like split needle and he insists on engine idle. Not concerned as I have many under my belt.

Well... I'm about 22 hrs in now & I've got hovering about 85 or 90% mastered. I'm a little squirrelly in moderate winds, but I can eventually get the ship stable, once I painstakingly find my new neutrals. 🙄 My takeoffs from hover are ok... I give myself a C... needs a good deal of improvement... 😐 BUT my transition from flight to hover is sloppy as Hell. Even when I get my approach set up nice... I get real sloppy in the last 100-200 ft. & I turn into a pendulum after stopping over my spot, with a tendency to drift with the wind. I tend to miss my spot in the last 50 ft. of my approach too. 😑 Landing a fixed wing is easy as cake by comparison. 😧

I have a challenge on swinging under the helicopter when I am doing squares or left/right during strong winds.. Any suggestions? Thank you for the videos!

Thanks for the great explanations, I’m currently saving up to start lessons (unfortunately other side of the planet, Melb AU). Just wondering about the approach to landing .. what altitude and distance from the landing area is best? Trying to work out what sort of approach angle makes things easiest, thanks very much

My problem during final is flaring too much & flying backward - also the rate of descent - should this be done by head speed or collective? 🌈🌈 thank you 👍🏻🚁

Awesome video!

This is great work!

Great Videos Very interesting Just wondering whats a confined area landNing 😊

i did not school aeronotics im a criminology student and i want to learn how to fly helicopter

Do you not have any more EC135 flight videos you can share??? I would LOVE to see them!

Sir can u plz elaborate slow approach Reducing speed at a greater height??

4:45 *too ;)

Macho is a Swahili word meaning eye

I tell my students :"If you have to flare at the end, you were too fast."

Where is your school based out of?

How much the ground course , is legit
