Learning to Fly an AS350 for the First Time

I recently learnt how to fly an AS350SD1 for the first time while at touchdown helicopters in Shellharbour, NSW, Australia.
In this video with an experienced instructor, we go over start up and shutdown procedures, along with basic maneuvers and emergencies as you would on a first flight.
This isn't a training video. Just raw footage from my first experience in a helicopter I have never flown before.
0:00 startup checklist
6:51 engine start
9:20 hydraulics check
12:20 take off
19:22 jackstall
25:45 simulated hydraulics failure
29:40 simulated engine failure
31:10 shutdown

I met Peter briefly, everybody talks highly of him and he seems like a humble but stern instructor, everyone can learn a thing from him even just hovering. I hope to learn more from him in the future.

Instructor seems to use quite a bit of incorrect terminology and is uncertain of actual flight manual procedures. Recommend you read the flight manual and know and understand all your systems and emergency procedures. Might also be a good idea to fly with an instructor who is competent with AS350 emergency procedures, ie pulling the throttle back for auto's and touching down with hydraulics off :) Hope you enjoy the AS350. It's a great workhorse, especially the B3 with 2B1engine or B3e

I got the same dont move the stick so much talk in the hover flying TSV lol. The 350 is very aptly named the squirrel, and it really does keep you on your toes with its pedal demand.

Hey Darcy, just gotta remember the power pedal is the right pedal. Squirrel by name squirrel by nature, just gotta remember to relax. Loving your content

Every person I've seen taking their first spin in a squirrel has that shocked look.

Well done. That helicopter seems overly complicated compared to some that I've seen.

If you drag the RPM to the bottom of the green (320) you will go from 2000 fpm rate of decent to about ~1400 fpm

It really is that much more cyclic sensitive than a 206? Well done mate, another rating on the way

Hahahaha and everyone has the same reaction to those HYD off moment. FYI I had a passenger knock the HYD switch on the collective in flight. It was as he described. The fastest way to kill yourself. But a great instructor can hand over to you the right tools to save yourself in any situation.
