F.A.Q's

[rotorrookie]

Ok just for fun, what are the most frequently asked questions you hear from your clients/passengers about helicopters. I’m doing a top then list of FAQ and it would be fun hear from others as well.
thanks

Most common question - What happens when the fan stops!

[Um... lifting...]

What's your real job?

What's that thingie when the engine quits and it all falls straight down like a rock?

[cab driver]

pax "So how long you been flying for?"

me "you mean, including today?"

[Jet Ranger]

How high she can go ?

[Um... lifting...]

How much do you earn?

About half of it.

Uh-uh! My new favorite question from last week: "Are you the pilot?" - "No. I'm the gardener and I like to dress up." - "REALLY?!?"
...Africa...

Most common:

1. How high can you fly?
2. How long does it take to become a pilot?
3. Don't you fall like a rock when the engine fails? (mostly a statement, rarely a question)

[Soave_Pilot]

How much do you earn?

About half of it.

Amen to that!


Also:

The tail rotor gives you the forward speed... right?

[206Fan]

"How many Hours have you got?" .... Not enough!

[rotorrookie]

Did you have to learn how to fly first (meaning driving a fixed wing I guess) or could you go straight to flying helicopters......

no, and I still don't know how to fly...

[C-Zico]

Not a direct question but a big question mark on their face when they realize the pilot seat is on the right and......

.....she's on the right seat and he's on the left seat AND why she has a licence and he does not

Pointing to pop outs "Wow I didn't know helicopters had air bags".
