Old Man Rotor, perhaps you are correct. However, if those maneuvers were ever performed in the U.S., it would definately be considered aerobatic. Pretty much anything that has a turn greater than 60 degrees fits that category according to the FAA.
High Nr, either you are joking around or you must be one of the hardest people on earth to please!

I was wondering if there are any official helicopter aerobatic training schools?
The fixed wing bods have loads of them all over the place.
Would be interesting to know where it is and with what type they use.
I've done an offset loop in a Gazelle (NOT ME but in with our Sqn QHI at the time, no names just in case!!) which was pretty exhilarating to say the least.

Nick,
When you and Ray F. were working on the helo air-to-air manual, Ray had the Scouts (58's) doing a nifty 180 from low level.
As I remember, zip along the tree-tops at speed, pitch up, start pulling power, roll 90 degrees (or as close to it as pucker-factor allows), keep the power high to keep things positive and the next thing you know, you're going the other way!
Lot's of fun but you sure had to keep track of your teammates if you started with another scout or in a pink team.
As close to aerobatics in a semi-rigid as I ever want to be!

Helicopter videos
We occasionally have links posted to interesting helicopter videos. I thought it might be worth collecting as many as possible on one thread.
Ill kick off with a few.
The first is a big file which takes some time to download even on broadband, but it's an interesting video.
First test flight of the Comanche
I'm told everyone survived this CH46 carrier-landing
I know the crew survived this mishap .... Will we get through there?
Please add links to any other interesting videos you find.

Here's another one...
H269B Crash, 1987, Student Pilot
Corresponding NTSB Report
I have about a dozen of these, but they are on my hard disk. I'll have to upload them to a site somewhere and post the links.

I suspect it may be the same CH46 carrier-landing.
=============
This may arise in the future.
Is it inappropriate to link to videos where people have been killed?
What do members think?
If you have any strong views either way, please e-mail me or Pedalstop so we can assess the general feeling of members.
NB: E-mail - please don't post views on this thread.

RD, call me old fashioned but I thought you were supposed to give the student some lessons before you sent him off on first solo!!!!!!
Heliport - if other deaths can be avoided by watching and learning from crash videos then I think they are worth their weight in gold.

Is it only me, or do some of the links above not work? I can't get any of Heliport's to work, and LowhoursUK's link only leads to a members' page with a story but no video.
To see a video rescue on a news site, try this link
I hope that one keeps working!!

A 300 doing an extremely nice routine!
I guess most of you have seen this, having been filmed in England, it left me speechless when I saw it. He apparently back flips the machine once. (Dennis Kenyon, Shoreham Arpt.)
Just beware its a large file (20MB), but its worth every second of the wait.

This video was posted by RDR in the 'Helicopter Aerobatics' thread a few weeks ago. We'll leave the link here as part of our collection of videos. I mention it only so those who downloaded it last time know it's the same video.

This is a short clip of a prang.
I hope it hasn't been posted above, but I still can't make some of those links work, so I can't be sure. Let me know if this one is a duplication and I'll remove it.
Thanks to John Eacott for hosting it.

Dennis' displays are second to none in my opinion. Having been lucky enough to work closely with him at Shoreham airport, it was always a treat for everyone to see him on the airfield practising his routine. Heres hopingto see him in action again soon.
