Thank you very much. I'm not a pilot. I am and always was into aviation since my uncle took me with him in a few motor-plane-flights back then as a 10 year old. Read about the mast-bump for the first time today (I'm not that much into helicopters) and watched your video. Very imformative for me as a non-pilot. Great explanation!
Good video. I recently learned however that the right rolling tendency is not related to tail rotor thrust. It's the design of the horizontal stabilizer. Robinson's new design has pretty much eliminated that right roll in a low-g situation making recovery simpler.
No wonder we've had a lot mast bumps in New Zealand. You never know when you'll hit turbulence around the mountains... it's hard to imagine you wouldn't sometimes be bumped around enough to bump the controls. We sure do in the gliders sometimes!
Bell / Army had mast bumping issues for decades roll isn't the issue cyclic use is, Weightless mass going ballistic as the rotor system reacts to pilot inputs = mast bump - A little Aft cyclic 1st - NOE was the mission profile , Positive G maneuvers the answer. Mast bump wasn't just an issue with Robinsons.
Thank you for the great technical explanation! I was always associating Mast Bumping with a tail strike caused buy the Main Rotor Blades. Now I understrood that the a tailstrike can be a consequence caused buy the damage following Mast Bumping! Great explanations how to aviod this phenonem! Thank you!
The reaction is correct but tail rotor thrust is not causing the roll anywhere near cruse flight it’s the negative angle of attack of the single horizontal stabilizer. I was taught this in the first Robinson Safety class in the late 80’s. Note your pedal position in cruise flight the tail rotor has near zero thrust. The dual horizontal on the R44 and R66 has almost completely eliminated the roll.
You learn something new every day. Northern hemisphere helicopter blades rotate in a different direction. Is this like the water going down the drain when you pull the plug out?
Hi skyd8726. It’s the make of the helicopter that defines the direction in which the blades spin, regardless of where you fly the helicopter be it in the northern or southern hemisphere. Hope this helps 😉
Avoiding a big bird is also usually pilot error, but saying that a pushover is not the best way to avoid a bird anyway. Our pilots are drilled to never do pushovers and it is not an instinctive flight manoeuvre. Also, in most cases, you should leave the avoiding to the bird as they have better sensory warning than pilots. Bird strikes are not that common with helicopters. I hope that reassures you.
The title is clickbait, lol. Mast bump would be more accurate, as you often don't get much more than 1 bump before the parts flying in formation depart the flight.
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Excellent ! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. ☺️

Excellent point. Worth looking into. Thanks for sharing 👍
I fly an H145 full sim in my vids and I really enjoyed the technical video of this phenomenon. Great explanation!
Glad you found it useful and thanks for the much appreciated feedback 😃

Yes, you really have to fly gently in turbulence. I hope this video will help with that. 🤞
Just fly a 300 no worries about turbulence .
0:32 Yes, Ma'am. That would be why I am here; to understand why I crashed in my simulator. 😬
Welcome on board ! 🚁
Perfect, I think there can't be enough education about this subject.
Excellent !

It's been a while , glad you're back with more content
Hey itsjustbonnie, it’s good to be back 😃Chemotherapy was rough!!
Beautiful 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😊
Glad to see your videos again!!
Thank you so much for your support Pedro 😀

@@flyhighwithcarothepilot All good! I'm aware of this - just having a giggle from the concept. Take care!
In a R series, if one practices a simulated "vortex ring state" it often can result in a tail strike and the tail will be cut off.
Oh my ! 😳
Avoiding a bird ! I am not going on a two rotor helicopter again.🚁...............
Avoiding a big bird is also usually pilot error, but saying that a pushover is not the best way to avoid a bird anyway. Our pilots are drilled to never do pushovers and it is not an instinctive flight manoeuvre.

@@flyhighwithcarothepilot Ok, as long as the bird is not as a large as a pterodactyl I should be Ok.cheers Perry 🦅..................🚁

Thanks for the comment ! 🙂
"The 3-blade rotor system eliminates any concern for mast bumping" (Hummingbird helicopter website). Is this true?
Yes, this is true 👍 Mast bumping only happens on two bladed teetering rotors.
Flying a helicopter is complicated. Lot of things you need to be aware of. Helicopters are complicated machines. Mechanically.
They sure are ! But so very useful and much fun to fly.
Very interesting vidéo as usual ! so i can conclude, helicopters don't like low G !!
Thank you Patrice ! Some of them don’t mind so much but two bladed helicopters certainly don’t like low G 👍
@@flyhighwithcarothepilot i m glad to see you again on youtube !!! Welcome back !!!

Cool comment but I don’t know how to relate it to Mast Bumping 🤷♀️
