I've got around 1000 hrs on the Alouette III with the 319 gear box. What is it you want to know?

Starting is simple, engagement is modulated and throttle application to full RPM is common sense.

Mind, if the machine is empty aside from the pilot, and the fuel tank is full, it hangs VERY much right wheel low in the hover. Take offs and landings to and from the hover are an exercise in slope landing techniques.

At all up weight of 2200 kgs, it comes off the ground almost level.

Start up and shut down via the flight manual is enough.

A very user friendly and simple aircraft to operate.

Give us some more info you need.
