Can you relabel the videos, in terms of putting pt.1 and pt. 2 etc on them... the videos are really good, sucks to realize you missed the first part.. :) thanks....
So i know the lower graph shows you where the cg of the helicopter is. But what exactly is the upper graph showing? Or is it just telling us if the helicopter is within weight limits?
Good question! The the 'graph' shows CG when viewed from above, the upper shows CG when viewed from the side (forward and aft) as well as the total weight. It must remain in that 'envelope'. Does that make sense?
Why are the pilot and the copilot not at the same lateral station/arm? Shouldn’t they be symmetric? Or is it this way because the aux tank station counters the copilot station?
That is a great question! I would have to look hard to see if there is any visible difference to the seat positions. The door arms are both symmetrical, so it is just the seats, not the whole cabin... I will try to look into this...
OK - had some thought and spoke to another flight instructor who is smarter than me (Thanks Austin!) and pretty sure we have the answer. The collective control is to the left of each seat. So on the right side, the seat would be offset to the outside (further right) to make room for the collective control to the left of the seat. And the left seat would be opposite - slightly offset inboard to make room for the collective on the outside (left of the seat). And the numbers reflect that. Great question though - neither Austin or I had every really noticed the numbers to ask the question!
Yes there is - in the R22 Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) the weight and balance numbers on the right side of the CG limits chart are in metric: shop.robinsonheli.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/r22_poh_2.pdf
Here you can find the Helicopter Flying handbook and weight and balance handbook www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/ Here is the R22 Pilot Handbook robinsonheli.com/r22-pilots-operating-handbook/ The ASA books you can find on Amazon. Hope tha helps
11 years after this has been posted, later still helping helicopter students thank you
Thank you!
Great video! It has been a while since I have done a w/b. Step by step instructions for an easy simple w/b.
Glad it was helpful!
This is amazing - thanks for taking the time to explain 👍🏼
You are very welcome!
I realize I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online?
Fantastic video. Many thanks!
Thank you

The part 2 of 3 etc is on the thumbnails and in the title at the start of the video. Hope that works

Well done!! Thanks!!

Good 👍🏾🚁
Thanks ✌
You mention Standard Empty Weight on your webpage but you don’t define it on the video.
Ah thanks - as it comes from factory without optional extras = standard
Is there a metric system version of this? If so, why is it orders of magnitude easier to use ffs?
Yes there is - in the R22 Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) the weight and balance numbers on the right side of the CG limits chart are in metric: shop.robinsonheli.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/r22_poh_2.pdf
cant seem to get to your 1st W&B video of the 3..

UPDATE: Here is a list of all the recommended Helicopter books www.helicoptertrainingvideos.com/books/
I'm not understanding how the figures for the total lateral moment were done. Nevermind, I got it!
Glad you got it!
