Thank you for such a detailed guide to the pre-flight inspection procedure. It will serve as an excellent briefing to when I shortly have to do my own pre-flight inspections. And thank you also for following so explicitly the steps laid out in my Pre-Flight Check List.
Hi Jericho, no we don't dip the tanks. In the logbook of the helicopter, we note down how much fuel was added each time and the percentage in the tanks before and after the flight. With the flight times, we can check if the fuel percentage remaining (on paper) is correct and is in line with the percentage readout. The R44 burns around 60 liters per hour, and full tanks is 176 liters. So if we have 50% fuel we have a little bit less than 1,5 hours endurance.
The static ports will measure the current air pressure and is connected to the airspeed indicator, the vertical speed indicator and the altimeter. If it is blocked the airspeed will have a faulty reading, vertical speed indicator will be stuck on 0 and the altimeter will be stuck on the reading it had just before the blockage.
@rickymay8436 Robinson Helicopters have an abnormal crash rate compared to others. Robinson helicopters are particularly susceptible to mast bumping and breaks apart when encountered.
thanks for the detailed explanation of how to do the exterior preflight inspection, i noticed that it followed the ROBINSON POH to the tee! 👏

EXCELLENT WORK, THANKS
Very good preflight , well explained . Thanks
Outstanding preflight. Thank you.
Thank's a lot for this helpful video. The proffesionalism will supports me in my training.✌️
This is a really useful training aid - thank you.
Exceptionally well done!
So you don't dip the tanks usually, to check total fuel? Never heard of fuel noted in %, what's the endurance on %??

make sure rotary wings are glued onto shaft . Very first check for any robinson !
Great video
Hi, just wondering why you didn't engage the clutch to ensure the tension is right. And hear the "click" when it engages etc.
What is the jacket type you are wearing sir?
Thank you man 👍🏻

Perfeito.
What are the static ports for? What happens if they are blocked or covered?
The static ports will measure the current air pressure and is connected to the airspeed indicator, the vertical speed indicator and the altimeter. If it is blocked the airspeed will have a faulty reading, vertical speed indicator will be stuck on 0 and the altimeter will be stuck on the reading it had just before the blockage.

music annoying
I didn’t notice it was annoying until I saw your comment.
Most dangerous helicopter in the world
😂
Very dangerous helicopter
Aren't they all?

No weed in full? Clean?
Robinson R44 preflight
No1 run away and find something safer 😂
