Just wondering if an R44 newscopter is 1668 lb, max useful load is 832 lbs. 4.0 hours of fuel at 16 gals an hour = 430 lbs. Left with 400 lbs, the 3 crew must be very light and with no extras in the machine ! Intersting auto at this weight from less than 60 kt airspeed when filming. It is intersting to look at the POH to determine auto range. The table was done by a pilot expecting an engine failure in ideal conditions for the certification process, therefore from 60 kts filming at MAUW will the ac land clear ?
