Hey Steve, you phoned Laura yet ?? I heard there is an opening.
When making your approach, and there are other heli's on the ground, check for cowlings on the ground, or pilot's running to tie their blades down. If you see cowlings, untied blades, etc go-around, and give the AME/pilot time to secure the stuff. You'll make a new friend if you don't blow their cowlings across the tarmac.
When on a cross-country, and I'm flying close to a place with fuel, I always ask myself if I can gaurantee that I'll make my destination. If I have to think about it, then I land and get fuel, then I know I'll make it.
Transient power limits are emergency landing limits, not extra take-off power.
When departing, avoid flying directly over another helicopter, plane, or building.
Realise that even an R-22 puts out a decent amount of downwash. Be aware of what your downwash is doing, and where it is going.
Cheers
