- A video showing a detailed pre-flight inspection of a turbine Bell 407 helicopter.
Like the video states, create a personal flow when performing your pre-flight inspection but always use your checklist to verify that you haven't missed anything. The "Do and Verify" method is my preferred method for many things flying related.
This video is for educational purposes and doesn't eliminate the for in-person training from an experienced pilot/instructor.

Michael, thanks for taking the time to do this! I enjoyed it! stay safe
Very cool. I spent 40 years wrenching in the aviation world but none of it in the rotor wing world. Thank you and be safe.

Excellent video!!!!! 👍crystal clear Nice review !!!!! Knows everything about bell 407!!!
great video... very informative and detailed.. I have a couple of mates who fly 407s... thanks for posting...
Well detailed video 📹. Thanks for taking the time to create it 🙂
Awesome dude, it helped me a lot.
What you suspected was for an engine rinse/wash is correct. Operating in the tropics we do daily rinses and frequent washes with the cancer causing chemical. It's interesting to see a garden hose attachment as we use 40psi pressurized RO water as per the bell instrument.. it's kinda funny to hear you never used it but a lot of north and east America is not a very saline environment whereas everywhere here bell deems to be extreme on the corrosion index.
great vid
Very nice. I’ve taken a few of my cars and trucks there to get pics while it is outside. I live 1/2 mile due west of the end of the runway. Two of the crew have let my son get in and sit in the back.
They are called "elastomeric bearings". I worked on the OH-58D(I) in the Army and the 407 uses the same rotor system. Whomever did that 8802E job on the mast nut should be ashamed. That is a super messy sealant job. I'd of stripped that off myself and redone it if I had done something that bad.
Ready to. Fly ....👍🙏
I liked the video, so it has 407 likes now. You're welcome. :)
It's a Gardena garden water hose connector at
Michael is this a beginning of shift pretrip or before you fly every time
How often do you require to use your rotar Breaking?
why are there 0.1 TRQ residual value
Is this the same set up as a 429 bell
How are you liking PHI so far? I’m asking because it seems that phi doesn’t do spray n’ pray job openings like some other HAA operators. Makes me wonder if they have better pilot retention. Good vid, thanks man.
