    • @FlyingMAir
      @FlyingMAir  5 лет назад +2

      I remember getting scolded by a pilot who wasn't local because I was using local landmarks instead of VOR distances and directions. Hell, I've never even navigated by VOR. Despite his nastiness, I did make my radio calls using distances/directions from the airport whenver I could. But seriously: what's so difficult about "south end bridges" in a town with only one pair of bridges in its south end? And "Confluence" where there's only one place where two rivers meet? Sometimes I wonder if some airplane pilots ever look out the window.

  • @angelreading5098

    The clutch warning light comes on in the R-44 when the belt is automaticly re-tensioning itself and there is a lapse in the sensor,also the belt gets warm in flight,as long as you count to 5 and it goes out no problem,when the belts become stretched the light will come on more often as it compensates to move upwards,side movement due to a worn tie band can also cause fluctuations and also engine manifold pressure as well.
    Pre flight inspection of the two belts is a good thing to do and get used to,check the sheaves for obvious wear,any sideways movement will show as a dull edge to the belt,the two belts are fitted as matched pairs and should have equal wear and stretch.
    When the clutch actuator comes into action then there will be belt tensioning taking place,if the illuminated light persists then get the system checked no question,engineers can check cold belt tension and make sure they are within limits.
    That was a lovely scenic flight,that airfield must hold some history Maria,hope that your FAA check ride went well.

    • @FlyingMAir
      @FlyingMAir  5 лет назад

      The R44 has four clutch belts. The R22 has 2 clutch belts. They both have the same system otherwise. (Obviously different width sheeves.) Not sure of the history of Bowers Field; I guess it's worth looking up one of these days.

    I know that I could google this, but what exactly does the altimeter do and is it something you have to manually change either from weather or ATC updates?

      Good Lord. I think I’ll stick with computing dosages and rates as a nurse, and leave this rocket science to you rocket scientists who just happen to also fly! It seems incredibly complicated and I’m glad it’s all in the hands of trusted pilots😊👍🏼✈️🚁🚀

    I was searching for cost of helicopter per hour and this website showed up on my google search. As I was scanning through the posts, one was on Cherry drying. It gives a brief look at what is expected from a Cherry dryer. I think they mention you also in their comments. helicopterforum.verticalreference.com/topic/21699-oh-those-poor-cherries/?hl=cherries

      There is a regular maintenance schedule, if that's what you mean. The shortest interval is 50 flight hours for a Lycoming 50-hour inspection.

    13:15 I did not know helicopters should not enter the traffic pattern used by fixed wing traffic. I always assumed helicopters avoided running the pattern to land faster.

      It does generally make it possible for us to get on the ground faster, though.

      Yes, but I'm already spending enough money to fly the R44. Why would I want to spend three times as much to do the same flying? I'm happy.
