Welcome Back! 😁🚁
Join me flying the EC155 Helicopter flying to the Silverstone F1 Grand Prix. A short flight departing a private site to drop off passengers to watch the Formula 1. Lots of traffic and local procedures to contend with.
2010 EC155B1 Helicopter. With a maximum takeoff weight of 4920kg, its powered by 2 x Turbomeca Arriel 2C2 turbine engines. At just over 14m long this version has the capacity to carry 8 passengers in the cabin.
Mapping with SkyDemon.
Cameras used for this video,
GoPro Hero 9 with Media Mod
GoPro Hero 10 with Media Mod
GoPro Max 360
Nflightcam audio cable for ATC Audio in the GoPro Hero 10
Timecodes
0:00 - Takeoff
01:59 - Heliport Procedures
03:02 - Procedure Join
06:20 - Heliport Landing
09:31 - Heliport Takeoff
Unfortunately you can no longer park at Silverstone to watch the Formula 1 race, so it was an empty departure back to base to watch it on the TV! Max Verstappen came 1st in the end (as usual!).
Enjoy! 😎

being a paramotor pilot and absolutely terrified by your air shredder i am shocked how little the turbulence influencing each other of you guys there hovering. makes me realize how vulnerable we are with our little backpack fan and a bed sheet above the head. even normal turbulence can cause a crash for us while you sitting there with 5 others barely moving. very impressive. i was expecting alot more shaking next to hovering helis

@richardtyrer 3 ай бұрын

Never heard the term air shredder before! I’ll remember that! You do get a bit of turbulence when we are all hovering next to each other, but the camera stabilisation removes it! I can’t turn it off otherwise the rest of the video would be rubbish! 😎🚁

@cloudpandarism2627 3 ай бұрын

@@richardtyrercheers for answer! haha yes i call them like that because air is bad even minutes after heli is gone. i saw a guy here flew into the down wash from a small heli which was already gone 2 minutes and he took a massive collapse from that. if i see one nearby me i land asap and hold onto my wing. yes dont turn off stabilization. we are too fragile! thanks for clearing that up. i thought you cant hover so close to each other

In Cape Town (V&A Waterfront) we have three companies operating from 4 heli-pads each, in season there are between 8 to 11 machines at any given time in operation, just without any form of traffic control. We simply communicate on the local frequency to make sure who is on finals to land or about to take off. Surely it must be the busiest heliport in the world too, just in the Southern Hemisphere side of the globe. 😉🚁
