Good training video. Including the part about landing and shutting down on a mountain peak in the winter with clouds blowing your way and then the belt actuator on the Cabri misbehavin’. Blade icing in freezing fog type visible moisture is pretty well known with older guys, especially in arctic conditions close to the ground. Paco, there is icing and there is icing, some slow and insidious, some that comes on really quick. You teach the difference and have yourself probably experienced it here in Canadian winters. Modern times too, send a text out on InReach instead of that whatever ELT. Jealous of the warm girlfriend part of his survival gear.

And with this forum and YouTube he gets the message out to all helicopter pilots without spending the rest of his evenings having to swill beer with his buddies.
