The plan is to run some bits of what I usually do at the safety evenings, all are welcome, its free, but space may be the limiting factor.

October Helicopter safety
The next evening is Redhill October 26th 2009 19:15 at the tower.
We've made it a bit later to give people a chance to get there.
Topics for this time will include engine power loss in the light pistons and not the same stuff as last year, I'll have that with me if anyone wants to see it.
I've also got some rather sobering images of helicopters that have suffered engine failures and the aftermath, relevant to things we'll be looking at during the evening.
I also hope to have at least one guest speaker just waiting for confirmation.
Once I get some more details I'll pop them up here.
Splot any chance of making this sticky until 27th Oct ?

Any chance of getting an evening going in the Northampton area or Cambridge?
Or is it just a question of me finding you a place with electricity and a date to fit us?

BS
In essence yes, we did Helitech but Cambridge would be good if we can get enough people to attend to make it worthwhile.
I need to find some sponsors for upcoming events as I no longer have a day job that takes me around the country as often with a schedule that can be fixed ahead of time.

Subjects for Redhill 26th Oct 2009
Between myself SgtFrog and one of the LHC instructors we sorted out the topics for discussion at the round 2 / 3 evenings last night in the pub (although I am not sure they noticed what I was doing !)
The main topic of the evening is light piston engine helicopters focussing on
Accident Causes
Engine Power Loss and the consequences.
Weight and Balance Issues
Performance Issues
These will be the things we look at in detail at Redhill.
I am still waiting to see if I get the guest speaker(s) I want. If not your stuck with me again

I've put the details of the evening on the helicopter safety now Helicopter Safety | Redhill
I've spent quite a bit of today chatting over the plan with a few experienced Robinson instructors should prove quite interesting.

Sarge might get it easy this time.
I am probably going to set up in the morning, before heading off to a meeting and then the Small Helicopter Safety Group at Gatwick.
I guess he won't get there till gone 1800 if he works or gone 1700 if he's off as he is getting on somewhat I agree.
I expect to get back to Redhill by 1700 at the latest so we can perhaps have a working party, so I at least have someone to be grumpy to.

If all goes to plan we have a guest speaker who will talk about the H/V Diagram from a Test Pilots viewpoint.
Much work has been done this week on researching piston engine power output and power loss. I've learnt quite a bit from some detailed digging and I am sure most of the Robinson instructors I know are fed up iwth me ringing asking questions and then going away again with no explanation, it will end soon.

Thanks once again for organising and setting up the event. You are doing a smashing job. There needs to be a lot more discussion on these topics between pilots and if these evenings are the way to do it then so much the better.
Well done Gary!

Safety evening
Yes ... another great evening with so much relevent info becoming available and being bandied around. So a big thanks to Gary for his time and effort. If these evenings head off just one accident ... t'will all be so worth while.
Suggestion from attendees on the following. I'd like to see one of the safety subjects tossed into the ring for general discussion and perhaps a few of us might be prepared to bare all revealing a potential accidents but which didn't happen or any actual events that could be thrown in for more discussion.
I've mentioned before, for the future, I'd be happy to relate step by step the sequence of events that lead to my Salt Lake City 'faux pas')I think there were around a dozen!) and invite others to comment on each stage where I went wrong. Let us know Gary how you feel about the idea. Thanks again.
