Those with newer models of the R44 Raven II (things that are not included in the video): add 8 seconds of engine prime before starting the engine with mixture rich, then return the mixture back to lean. Start the engine and then move the mixture to rich again when the engine starts. Oh, and don't forget to switch on the takeoff light before taxi or takeoff. Thanks for this video!

Great video! You guys should do one showing the preflight inspection on the R44 as well! I'd love to see that, as well as the checklists you use since I'll be training there in a few months.

Not quite sure where you're getting that opinion. The flight envelope is way too tight. Not to mention sudden windshear can you put into unavoidable high speed negative-G.... I'll pass thanks. Beautiful aircraft though.

Nice video, thanks for posting. One question though: I noticed that your outside camera was mounted on the left-hand side. I remember my instructor telling me something about never having something mounted on the left side, in case it comes of and flies straight into the tail rotor. What say you? Thanks.

@krzysztofborowiecki5132 8 ай бұрын

Which procedure is better - start with carb heat (less power) or start without (more power) if during the start procedure the temperature is outside yellow range?

Thanks for this ...it helped me Al lot ... I have a questio.may I asked a question ...what could possible cause a sudden drop of both Engine and Rotor RPM while at cruise flight...altitude 1200 ft, A/s95k, 4 pax.with less fuel ..manifold at 22 InHG ..indication loss of power ..low rpm lighted and low rpm audio, both needles drop to Idle speed ...what do you caused this incident??thanks

@tobiasleitner-xk9hd Жыл бұрын

Hm, engine failure in combination with a slow reacting clutch? Slow roll off? However I do realize that this is more a theoretical question - because nobody would have walked away and described the incident in detail if the rotor rpm would really have dropped to idle during flight...

Not possible and if you did you'd probably not be flying for much longer after that

Hi Joseph, that screen is used for navigation and flight. Flying a helicopter takes a lot of concentration and even on cross country flights you will have plenty to do to keep from becoming bored.

Given that this is a Robinson helicopter, it may be safer not to start it at all, ever.

@SUUAviation 8 ай бұрын

Due to the relatively low cost of Robinson helicopters, it is one of the best-selling civilian aircraft out there. Because of this, many pilots with little time, and experience at the controls tend to privately own them, which has led to poor maintenance and improper flight of the aircraft. Just like any other aircraft, when a Robinson helicopter has been properly cared for and properly flown, it is a completely safe aircraft to fly.
