Absolutely superlative professionalism from the pilot. Knows everything about every feature and is explaining every step and stage of his start up processes. Taking nothing for granted being transparent in every way. Good man. I love the answer "because the manual says to do it that way"! Sticking to the script for the scripts sake. What an example of aviator.
Without question one of the best demonstrations of the function of any aircraft I've ever seen. Pilot is professional to the core and explains everything in a manner understandable to this non pilot. Thanks very much. Gorgeous aircraft.
What a beast of a helicopter - loafs along at 140 knots and very relaxing to fly for a single pilot with all the automation. Andrew is a cool pilot. :)
I have nothing but respect for anyone who flies fixed wing or rotor aircraft......even with all the automation.....and that includes Nick.......thanks from a former Connecticut resident...
@@simon8089, he accidentally landed on a taxiway not too long ago, and busted minimum separation by flying right over a passenger jet that was holding short of the runway on that taxiway.
Andrew is an absolute living legend. Highly professional and 4 sure a competent pilot. Thanks 4 this walkaround masterpiece Nick, with nice explanatory pop ups, it was a pleasure to watch u 2 and N23JB.
hcoptertx it’s surprising how much both pilots and mechanics don’t know about each other’s job. And in my airplane, the B744/B748, same goes for loadmasters, air traffic controllers, dispatchers, and the occasional veterinarian that I’ll fly (when animals are on board; predominantly race horses). And on my passenger charter flights, I rely heavily on my FA’s. None of us really know each other’s job. That’s why we’ve got CRM. Some jobs require more training and experience than others, but we all have to work as a team to make the metal move.
One of, if not the best overview of a complex aircraft. Starting with the walk around, continuing with Agusta Westland AW109's interior, its avionics and mechanical controls. Compliments to the pilot on his knowledge and the ability to articulate the various systems, their function(s) even being asked questions he maintained composure while staying on point. In the air it is where it shined! Nicely done.
Thanks Nick, best review you've done. As a pilot I really loved the technical detail on such a beautiful aircraft. Thanks Andrew for your commentary and participation. I guessed wrong the other week, didn't think many people would operate a 109 C these days but still nice!
Great video Nick, Andrew really knows his stuff and it’s great to see him so willing to share his knowledge and aircraft in such depth. I bet the ground course on that A109 is pretty involved!
Only ever been in one as a passenger absolutely fabulous machine to travel in, the pilots I've spoken to who are Type rated all seem to absolutely love them 👍
Wow, this was a really comprehensive video! Some very nice post production with the text sidebars (some a little brief), closeups and highlighting of the relevant gauges. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to put this together!
i wanted to point out an error. thomas coupling just connects driveshafts. engines are mounted using a torque shaft. also, if one engine fails, the other engine doesnt ramp up, that will throw it into over speed and just a few minutes means the other engine will need replaced too. what happens is it stays at the same rpm (100%) but will be forced to pull more torque. the pilot probably meant it like this but just to clarify
Under “normal” conditions the remaining engine, (in a multi-engined helicopter), DOES NOT go into overspeed when one has failed. The engine governing system, (one on each engine), with either both, or one engine, operating is tasked with maintaining rotor rpm at 100% NR, (or whatever rpm is set by the manufacturer). In the case of an engine failure the remaining engine “sees” a decrease in NR and compensates by increasing power up to its maximum , (topping), which, unless controlled properly will potentially result in decreased NR. The engine will not make more power than its absolute maximum. The pilot, upon recognizing an engine failure, decreases collective to a lesser value, (30 second/2 minute or whatever value the manufacturer determines), in order to maintain NR, and fly away, depending on the flight regime. Exceeding the single engine,(OEI), limits may, or may not require engine maintenance or replacement. Over speed is a result of drive shaft, (or some similar), failure. Some machines (S76), have “blow away power” which will add power in case of low NR to help recover.
@@notfornuttinschaumburg5671 yep, exactly. I had all this typed out honestly but figured no one would understand and tried to shorten it. Most viewers at probably car guys here
Nick - this is a GREAT ONE. I really appreciated the attention to detail by the captain. Always great to see and hear professionals at work. Super job, Nick! thanks for all the hard work that got this to us!
I loved it. audio perfect video perfect commentary and explanations EXCELLENT a BIG thank you from Switzerland (where "REGA" mainly operates these babies for SAR) !
That stick is the same make and model the US Military used on almost every fighter jet from the F-86 Sabre to the early F-15A/B Eagle so yes, that trigger was originally for firing a cannon lol
Love the video (especially Vivalidi!) Some confusion at 49:00. You start with the battery and cut out the #2 generator because the Voltage Drop (VD) cause by the up to 900amp draw on the starter would overwhelm the 150amp (rated) generator. The PW200 series don't make enough bleed air to start an engine. Ni-Cad batteries are great at high load even though this one is only 27AH at 24VDC
Thanks for helicopter video. I found your channel several years ago because of your older helicopter videos and have enjoyed all the content ever since.
All of the other comments sum up this excellent presentation quite nicely. I'll just add that I appreciate you digging in on the hydraulic system inquiry and asking the right questions about what the redundancy really covered. Bravo!
Excellent video Nick. Great little graphics pop-ups with really useful notes. Next time maybe Andrew will take us to New York... It's only a 20 minute ride.
I always thought the AW-109 was a sexy looking helicopter. Having flown the Sikorsky S-76 A++ and C++, I see many similarities. The 109 is more of a personal executive transport, whereas the S-76 is a much heavier people hauler... The instruments and autopilot are the same Honeywell setup, but this design is obviously older. I would love to fly one!
It's a good day when you release a Heli video, and this one was a gem! Couldn't be happier that this video was a long as it was a what a top job by the editor! Wonderful, mate!
Fantastic job Nick! Always appreciate the effort in both filming and editing these. The explanations provided are so helpful. And yes, you do have to do everything for us!
Man thnx for such a comprehensive look into helicopter operation period. You asked all the questions a curious guy would ask, and the Pikot was phenomenal in taking his time answering everything! Retired LE from NW Indiana. Ages ago I had some stick time on a Hughes 300c. Our PD pilot was helpful in giving me an edge on the upcoming opening for pilot training. Did some hours and got bumped by a fellow officer who's dad was a Lt. On the Department. So ofcourse I was pissed big time but went on to command the Marine Unit and Team Lead the SWAT team. But still my love was in flying. Thnx again
I was very impressed with your posting of this helicopter. Your friend really knows his equipment and seems to be very qualified. I was surprised to see that there is so much more involved with a helicopter than with the average airplane. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great video! I'm just an ordinary guy who is interested in helicopters since I was a child and this video was so fun to watch. One of the best hours spent on RUclips. 👍🏼 Very well explained...
Hey Nick, thanks for this video. Awesome! By the way that heli has flown over my house on many occasions on it's way to and from NYC. It looks very similar to the Sikorsky S76.
Great video, Nick - and thanks to Andrew for his excellent technical walk-through. Surprised that no-one has reacted to your remark about the Irish Air Corps. FYI, they currently operate six AW139's, two EC135 P2's and two EC135 T2's (operated as police air support). Last time I checked, they had just retired the last of their hang gliders...
Great extensive review, Nick. I love all the details and text balloons you put in there. A lot of work done to make this a great video to watch. Which I did, from beginning to the end. Cheers, Irwin 🦅
I'll add a few points to your brief discussion about "why" they designed the A109C with wheels. The benefit of the retractable landing gear is not necessarily a speed thing. The added weight and complexity of the system surely offsets a relatively minor velocity gain, as compared with traditional skids. The capacity to roll taxi, vs hover taxi, across a tight and congested heliport, is an added safety feature. Such close proximity to other spinning rotors is inherently dangerous, even more so when dealing with gusty winds and low spatial margins. Greater precision, when maneuvering into position, is the reward for this configuration. It's less stressful for the pilot and passengers too. It also allows for the pilot to position the helicopter closer to the terminal for passenger pickup, without blowing the disruptive downwash of "takeoff power" onto neighboring aircraft or structures. No doubt though, it looks mighty sexy with the wheels tucked up!
Fascinating insight to flight and all that goes with it. Extremely professional. I only wish we could have more similarities in driving cars. Some people can’t even check tyre pressures once a week. Cheers Nick 🚁🚁🚁
There are people that do not even know that a car has to be maintained and when they are broken down at the side of the road they cannot figure out why.
Nice video. It is a nice aircraft, but see if you can get a ride in the 139. I think that other than the AH-1Z that is the best helicopter. The 109 scas does not seem to make it as stable as an AH-1G much less the AH-1Z. Congratulations on a nice flight. It brings back many fond memories.
Thanks for that Nick! That is one complicated aircraft... Makes a fixed-wing look like a model airplane ;) Beautiful and fast. I hope they do well in their shuttle business.

One good reason for helicopters landing on taxiways is that helicopters and airplanes land differently. I was trained to land and keep a walking pace. So the helicopter is literally at a walking pace when it reaches hover height. Airplanes have to hold 60 knots or more to keep from falling from the sky.
Nick if you're ever looking to doing another great Helio then I'll be waiting to see the walk around of the MD-500 notar . The AV-109 is truly the one that will fit my luxuries to travel in and out of small congested areas if needed

Advancing the throttle to 100% is done slowly so as not to damage the transmission by excessive torque (you wrote it would damage the engine).
