[Vfrpilotpb]

We see lots of pictures of you pro guys with your machines flying, dumping stuff and lifting things, any chance of seeing a few shots of the views you actually look at, re the instrument panels - and beyond?

Hopefully not hogging this thread, but I just landed from filming for an American commercial shoot. I was flying from the left, so the safety pilot took a few photos. Shame he had the shakes ;)

[MightyGem]

Mr Selfish asked:
How do I post some photos?

First of all, the picture needs to be already on a website, because the pictures here are not on the PPrune server but are all linked to other sites.

to make the picture viewable here, you put at the beginning of the full web address of the picture, and at the end. hopefully you should then see:
http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/ppforumslogo.gif

If you see a picture that you'd like to link to, right click on it, go to properties and that will show you the address.

If you have some pictures of your own that you'd like to get on the web, then try a site like Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/)

[Vfrpilotpb]

Well done you great set of guy's, when I can fathom out this book of words on posting a pic I will send one, till then , thanks a lot what interesting pictures you have all sent, trouble is I am green with envy at the Kit and locations of some of these pictures,

To me and no doubt other PPL(H)'s they are every bit as interesting as looking at the Helis in working flight,

Please keep posting em:D :ok:

Hi Dave,

If I'm not mistaken it is High Wycombe / M40. I attended the school in the top RHS - a long time ago.

I could tell you some stories but they are not really appropriate for a public forum ;-)

John

[Gomer Pylot]

407 Driver, I see you've been careless with the seatbelt. :O

John E, the tanker pic looks familiar. That could easily be the GOM. :cool:

[John Eacott]

Gomer,

The GoM photo : someone's photo that I hosted: not mine, I hasten to add!

Funny about the seat belt rash, amazing how prevalent it is on Bell's :rolleyes:

[Vfrpilotpb]

Upon looking again at the posted cockpit views, the one posted by "Aesir" would to me seem to be the most inhospitable place to have to have a problem, in fact it is an amazing picture of natural desolation.

I think it’s a good idea to set the transponder Stdby 7700 and the 2th Com to 121.5 ;)
In Switzerland is active Transpondersetting below 7'000 MSL not required.

No dashboard instruments or GPS to assist, but where is this?

Finally no GPS screen but a clear cut marker with some places to avoid as well [perhaps]



And next week, "name that helipad"

[helicopter-redeye]

XT244 "it looks like scotland to me"


- Nope, miles out (several hundred in fact).

Next estimate?



Lightning_Boy "Looks like the Breacon Beacons to me, I could almost see my house!!!"


- Fraid not, slightly less miles out than XT244.


Clue, all UK.

1. There is a tower in the 1 o'clock position as viewed and a parachuting site in the 6 o'clock (behind).

2. Windfarms left and right range 6 to 10 nm and a lone NDB 3 o'clock as viewed range 17 miles

3. Give you this one, its North Norfolk (there very few clues but the hill was the googly),

4. Upper airspace radar station at around 2600ft amsl 5 o'clock and did I mention the thing to be avoided in front in the original clue?


Want to have anothger shot at the other three?

[johned0]

Dear John (E),

Please excuse my asking but the approach seems very shallow and I am interested to know why, is it safety etc ? and what the approach profile should be.

FYI, I am only asking out of interest and I am certainly not experienced enough to even think about making an approach to a pad like that.

Thanks very much,

John

The helipad is hidden under the nose: it is a huge elevated pad across the road at the bottom of the photo (taken by my passenger). I guess the roof may be what you're looking at, there isn't a pad there.

Here's a different angle to show the pad: we were approaching across the park from the left:

Those are small video cameras. They help greatly in engine software development tests when you're trying catch transient wierdness. We have four of these very small cameras that we can put anywhere, inside or out. Recorded to a harddisk for later viewing.

I have seen a small number of Kamov and Mils in various places and lots of photos and they all had cabin and dashboard painted in a sort of pale blue-green colour.

Most western helicopters have either matt black or grey (presumably to decrease the reflected glare off surfaces).

Why the blue-green colour? Is it just that Mil and Kamov bought up big when blue -green paint was cheap?

Does it make any difference when you fly with glare etc?

What a great thread - thanks for sharing these with us.

RobboRider - the Soviets' choice of light blue cockpit paint schemes for their aircraft was reportedly based on studies showing that this was the most relaxing color for aircrew. (Gunship - were you always relaxed when flying the Hind operationally, or did Natasha make this impossible....?:E).

T and B; what's happened to the Auto pilot i.e. why the orange cross hatches on the PFD?

[Droopystop]

Crab,

Looking at your twin tv set up, it seems that you need to take a look at the FLIR installation. Looks to me that it has been put on upside down!!:E :E

[Thud_and_Blunder]

212Man,

We've not had serviceable autopilots since last August; the 50 deg C OAT limit sadly doesn't seem to apply to the autopilot system, which usually kicks off after about 10 mins with the temp above 40-45 deg C. I was going to include a description of the reason why we don't have the appropriate spares, but decided this isn't the appropriate forum to discuss such matters :cool:

You might also have noticed the lack of a "sand filter" indication in the bottom pic. Same reason as above.

[212man]

T and B, Ah, I see! Do you have problems with the FCDMs as well then, as I assume they sit in the same rack? (AP is straddled by FCDMs in the 155.)

Looking out from my Astar on a windy 8,600' heli-ski drop off -

Cariboo Mountains in British Columbia http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Rotorheads/MWJan-Feb069.jpg

[Vfrpilotpb]

Squirrel,

Are the marks in the snow in front of the heli, wher you dropped previous skiers , .. do you land or just touch and allow them to debus?


Vfr

[Squirrel]

If you notice in the left corner of the photo, you see a wooden stake with an orange flag. Those stakes are set out on a good flying day (day with sun and/or some definition) - usually 2-3 stakes are put in, which you focus on when landing. You need them when it is overcast and flat light or else you cannot land. On this peak, there are two sets of stakes, one where the machine landed and another to its left. The marks in front of the helicopter are wind-swept snow. In fact, the area in front is a large cornice which then drops off for a couple of thousand feet below. You have to asses the cornice prior to landing and ensure that you land well back in case in breaks off. The skiers departed the other way down the mountain! When you land, skiers and guide exit, then you depart.

Flylow: The blades look very close to the canopy in the static display picture.

How much blade clearance is there? Do you have to be extra careful while manuvering?

[paco]

[flylow]

When not running, the blades are only a few inches above the bubble. As they spin up, they also lift up, maybe 9" or so above the bubble. When flying, there's no concern (after getting used to them) about the blades hitting the bubble, and you do not have to fly it any differently than those with the blades much higher. They actually offer more stability in hover work, as there is less pendulum effect. However, I'd still prefer higher blades. I've knocked my head on these many times during pre-flights.

[HOSS 1]

Wow, Those are some mighty unfriendly looking trees, down there beneath that single engine helicopter !!!

And I thought algebra was scary....

[Quick Release]

Flylow,
Never been up to a Brantly before in the flesh. Are there rotor managment problems? given that they are so close to the bubble, im thinking windy conditions etc: from the pix seems to have a strange blade design, just a quick answer to satisfy my curiosity. cheers

[flylow]

Quick Release,

You don't have to fly it any differently, in any conditions that I know of, because of the low blade design on these. The blade stops prevent the blades from drooping low enough to hit the bubble. Again, when the blades are spinning, there is ample (relatively) space between them and the bubble. It is a unique design, but provides a very smooth ride.

PeterR-B
Vfr:ok:
As I understand it the turn and slip indicator are to different observations. The ball (slip) indicates where the gravitational force is acting on the aircraft (including an acceleration forces). The turn indicator shows the rate of turn irrespective of aircraft attitude and generated by its own giro. The artificial horizon does exactly as it says, a representation of where the horizon is in relation to the aircraft. The photograph shows the aircraft banking to the right (artificial horizon) and turning to the right (turn indicator) the ball is slightly off centre which is probably due to the aircraft tending to fly slightly less skid low when the tell-tales are indicating a coordinated turn.
This is a slightly simplified explanation and stand to be corrected as only a humble PPL(H)
P.S. there are many examples in nature where two balls seem appropriate!

[CYHeli]

Aser / 212, I wasn't sure if it was a regular for the route that you were on, or ATC were being creative for the day?

Do ATC have a system for these things, (discrete XPDR codes) or is the fact it looks like a birth date purely coincidence? I do know that some codes are mandated, it's the unusual that I am asking about.

Just curious.

[212man]

CY, I think it's a coincidence! Unless your codes all start with 0 or 00 then most codes could be a birth date, even the emergency ones (7700, 7600 etc).

[bb in ca]

Hey guys,

I have some left hand drive a-star time in C-FCCA. It was referred to as a BA7 as it was certified for 7 seats with an optional double seat to the right of the pilot.

It has some deficiencies though such as the battery in the tail boom for aft ballast to compensate for the extra weight at the front. If you're not using it with the double seat then she hangs a wee bit tail low in the hover compared to a right hand drive a-star.

The big bubble window is for vertical reference work. It works great for some body types but nearly impossible for drivers who are too short or too tall.

MD900 yes that is a left hand drive AS350B2. I flew for Temsco several years ago and flew most of the 350 fleet. About half of the B2's were left drive. Kinda strange the first couple of times you pick it up. I prefered it as the collective and fuel control were out of the way of the tourist. I had one woman drop here camera under the fuel control while flying a right drive and caught here just before she moved that little yellow handle out of the way so she could retrieve her camera!

Yes, the LongRanger was G-NEUF.
