Comments, please!

OK, I've read all the posts. I have one question that bothers me a bit.

Higher RRPM gives a greater rate of descent. So, in the flare, wouldn't the best practice be to not build up too much of it?...

Jeez...

A few impressions...

I started turbine transistion on the 330 9 months after I got my PPL on the 300, which puts in the summer of 1997. I have never had an issue with a start and I have a few observations that have been...

Qustion...

John,

Are they operating as far as 140nm from the ship? That sounds odd (unless it's an AS355).

Do you know what they're doing there so late in the season or, for that matter, which ice breaker...

ANR

Foggy,

I am not an audiologist either, but if we just concentrate on what's entering the ear itself, ANR really does cancel the air movements by applying counter waves with the speaker. Given that...

Easy!

Head down, because the rotors have motion in them. Any good helicopter shot can be ruined by frozen blades. I always make sure I have around 1/80th shutter speed in order to get about 15 degrees of...

I agree totally that it is a fairly high risk procedure, and I also agree that it is very unlikely to happen. I am, however, still in favor of training it as much as possible due to the...

206 B-II main rotor blades

Yikes, we're getting close to expiration on the first set of blades on a 1975 206 B-II. Long wait for new ones and the market looks drained. Anyone here that has an extra set with some time left on...

Run-on...

I'd say "fine". I've only done around ten to fifteen knots or so and that was not an issue. As usual you bleed of the speed carefully with the pitch and there is no tendency to roll forward.

Garmin GAE-43

Or rather, Sandia SAE5-35, is cheap and works well with Garmin's transponders... Buy either from Garmin or from Sandia.
