Bigger balls than mine in this 139
Apologies I can’t seem to get the link to embed
Yesterday... seems relevant given current discussions on another thread. I have it on good authority... single pilot, across the runway and towards trees.... and NOT the regular pilot of this aircraft

Nothing unusual there.....just another day at the Office for many of us.
It takes something with far more heft than a 44 to tote me around.
Looks like a Cat A (PC1) clear area departure from a paved surface - what's the problem?
T7 registry (San Marino, for the convenience, and keeps the CAA at bay), private, based in Oxford I think. Zero viz, zero airspeed night departures from an offshore rig are acceptable with profile SOP, this is easier, and perfect aircraft for it.
41 knots for go around and doesn't look like the TU ( transition up - the other function of the GA button available in the hover ) was selected as it is a much shallower and less aggressive climb profile than that. Looks like a nice instrument take off by a competent pilot. Hopefully he was aware of any obstacles that may have been in his path.

Here are the published profiles if anybody is interested. Select 102 RPM, Depress CAT A button with left thumb, pick up into hover, hit CAT A button again and cues will be activated on PFD, pull to the magenta power cue and fly the profile. The clear area Cat A departure is certainly a smoother ride for the boss with only 5 degrees down to get moving.
Farmers fields like Ascot, Silverstone, Goodwood and Battersea I guess?

Please excuse my ignorance but how do you trim a helicopter?
Reason I'm asking is on the fb video it went up into hover first, during the transition the tail dipped slightly only to be instantly corrected.
Just wondering if trim is some function of the cyclic control system.
I could google but would rather hear from the horses mouth
