Fantastic pictures again without all the bullsh*t.
No bonedomes,epaulettes or flying suits. Just easy going flying like I discovered moving my fixed to rotary licence in Oz decades ago.. You make my day looking at your pictures. Worthy of a tv slot to replace all the old boring same same police camera action stuff where the hero uniformed crew chase a spotty youth in a stolen car only for the court to let him go. Looks like you don't go for the 'hero chopper captain' style?:ok: |

Hey Victor Papa
QNH was 1020 at the EBC pad. :ooh: G'day Ye Olde Pilot Thanks Brother. Yaar gold bars, stripes & BS don't make You a better Pilot, that stuff is for EGO massage ONLY. :yuk: The bars don't even work as a chick magnet :ooh: so why bother & spoil a nice white shirt in a dusty, dirty Helicopter? ;) Always know where the wind is & do everything into wind except piss :D Happy landings :ok: |

Seems like you'd have good use of a 2D engine in your bird, operating so close to going into orbit....
It's a pain to do powerchecks in the lowlands with that thing, as you feel like breaking the soundbarrier just to get the bleedvalve to close:E |
Love the jeans and shoes.
Is that an oxygen line in the picture? |
VF - A tad more right pedal co-pilot the slip ball is not in the middle!
Or maybe you've bent the airframe:=. MB |

Hey madbob
Sorry to disappoint You Mate but; Helicopters are flown in TRIM not balance :yuk: :( In 'balance' flying is for the stiff-wingers :8 |
VF top thread and excellent photos keep them coming.
Madbob get a life, half a ball 3/4 at most who cares and more realistically if you have spent any time in mountains on the the click of a photo the ball can be off the clock, a bit of turbulence is all it takes, dont get much of that in the circuit!!!! Anyway good stuff VF to be honest if i had not seen some of the cockpit photos of the JR i would not have thought they could even go that high its all good, the B3 is awesome but still again hats off you are working it to its limits where you are. i work in PNG and have had the B3 up pretty high on aeromag (15000)DA a few years ago but heaps of on board recording gear so no landing or hovering but great machines none the less. keep the photos coming they are great FD |
I guess the locals get used to living at the elevation VF?
Would I be right in thinking you've done the trips so many times no need for calcs? |

Good morning fadecdegraded & madbob
Yep always on the performance limits high up here & more, so flying in trim makes a huge difference & yep in that picture she was actually in trim, string flying down the middle of the window split :D :O :ooh: Hey Yea Olde Pilot My calculation at remote high pads is done when I pick her up & see what margin there is (if any) :ooh: look outside at the T/O profile needed & decide then to GO, or offload something, or :ok: For landing at high pads I pull her back to 25-30knots (ETL) at the pad elevation, see what power she requires to hold height & that's the same power exactly which she'll be needing to HIGE arrived at the pad :confused: so I know just how easy & relaxed I can be.............or how fast & precise that approach needs to be, or :bored: :eek: := Happy Landings :cool: |

I've just been watching a trashy UK reality show,Sky Cops, with contrived
adventure so your pictures are like a breath of fresh air. You are one lucky pilot in I suspect a great team. |

Flying a Squirrel with the ball dead centre people outside will think you stupid as you will look like a crap going forward and on the inside you will get seasick. First thing you taught during conversion-dont fly the ball in the middle. As long as the woolometer is between the windows stuff the ball-lol
