Just a suggestion. You seem to be a good and safe pilot. I always tie the blades down to the stinger. when moving the helio in and out of the hanger. Also after I untied the blades knowing the blades on a Bell turn in a left rotation, while starting, I place the rear blade to the right of the exhaust stacks inorder to keep the heat away from the rear blade because the blades are not sufficently moving yet. Once the front blade passes over the exhaust stacks for the first time, they have sufficent speed to where the heat is no facter on either blade. Over a period of time, starting the rear blade over the exhaust stacks can weeken both blades.
Thanks, found this interesting and informative to watch someone fly a helo. Also the level of checks on the machinery and general competence you show with many hours under your belt. Couple of suggestions: Bit more info about what state you are in, and how long the flight and miles planned. Keep up the good work!
Liked your video, I'm an A&P I've always loved helicopters I fly rc nitro toys but always wanted to get my license but never got the chance ( single father ) but. You're video makes me mad at myself for not making it happen when I was younger, keep flying man that's so cool !
This is the 1st video of this channel that ive seen. Video was nice & your flight in the Bell 206 Jet Ranger was smooth & safe! I dont like how you had "palmed" the end of the collective during the whole flight though. Is there a reason for that??? I'll check out your other videos! Thankya for sharing👍🏻!
Loved the vid. I would like to see more of the forward view. Felt I was drifting the whole time. Maybe like a wide angle would work. I miss being a passenger. Was and still is my passion to become a pilot. ❤
@@mohammadnouri7637 The L's are sweet. Ours were all converted to EMS, but we kept one trainer in the fleet.....sneaked a few hours of time my self...lol Blessings.
Helicopter time is ridiculously expensive and helicopter jobs are so hard to get, that’s what they don’t tell you, you need a collage degree and at least 1,500 hours before Antone will even talk to you, and then they might let you wash it, at 2,000 hours they might let you sit in it. There is no shortage of helicopter pilots, you have guys that will fly for free just for the opportunity to fly.
It is definitely an uphill road! I did not think I would be doing this at this time in my life but if you stay focused on the dream hard enough, anything can happen!
I have two questions. On the next video can you record the full shut down too? Also, money-wise, how much do you figure you’ve spent since your first helicopter lesson until your first commercial helicopter job? Thanks and great video. You have the best camera angle I’ve ever seen anyone use. Really nice!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I use the Garmin Inreach mini 2. I have the plan that updates the location every 2min. I have an adapter that plugs directly into my GoPro form the headset plug.
Hey bro like your RUclips video this is Dwight with candy video productions the only thing I would say is that in the editing your audio was really loud it wasn't level with your commentator or as we call it up and under your voice but I love your video I'm definitely would like to get my pilot license but outside of that it looks really good😂😂😂😂😂
Hey glad you enjoyed it. Fair point, It's hard to convey the full story sometimes in these videos but I'll clarify that in this particular case the owner is also learning to fly and is very familiar with the ops. and has been briefed on the ins and outs of hot fueling and understands the risks. This is all part of SBT that I try to work in with my students to help make them more capable and thinking pilots. Totally see where you are coming from though and agree 100%. Cheers!
Nice video thanks…. Just a thought about that style of collective grip lifting into the hover, don’t forget there are a couple of emergency manoeuvres that may need fairly rapid throttle closure, eg tail rotor malfunction.
Thanks for the input! I see where you are coming from. The collective in this particular jet ranger is pretty stiff and so I developed this habit. Mechanic says its fine mechanical but makes it difficult in the hover. We just got it out of maintenance though and they managed to loosen it up a bit so maybe I can go back to the "normal" way. Cheers!
With the tool box right under the rotor mast in the seat, isn't on the center of gravely? Do you need the additional weight in the front seat or was that for start redundancy?
I liked the video a lot. Wasn't clear what the mission was. Pick up the owner to ferry him to a job site? Industry involved? How did he know to call you?
Im the only pilot on the insurance for this particular helicopter. When the owner needs to fly she calls me. I had flown him to his meeting in an airplane the previous day and he needed to be picked up in the helicopter. Hope that clears it up. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi I am chhabi from India. Can you tell me how much it will cost to become a private helicopter pilot in America. I also want to become a helicopter pilot. Which city of America are you from? I am your subscriber from India. ❤️🙏🇮🇳
The operators manual specifies a speed restriction with doors off for various aerodynamic reasons. other than that it's perfectly safe - wear your seatbelt! 😃
You are not using a checklist??? Big mistake. Regardless of how familiar you are with your machine, failure to read a checklist will catch up with you one day. Safety, safety, safety.
Hey, thanks for watching the video! hope you enjoyed it. Checklists are very important and as someone who is a strong advocate of safety I'm open to implementing any procedures that make flying safer. In the fixed wing environment checklists are often used in different phases of flight such as taxi, takeoff, cruise, approach, and landing. Flying single pilot helicopter missions unfortunately does not afford the luxury of handling checklists in flight as both hands are occupied by controlling thing. I've found flow checks to be very useful and if done consistently and thoroughly can add a good safety net. I've seen students read a checklist and miss critical items because they are not engaged with what they are reading or they don't comprehend it, so I think the most important thing is to slow yourself down and be methodical and consistent. Good thoughts though and thanks for opening the discussion. Cheers!
Do yourself & Clients a favor, put down the Camera and focus on your job, flying. You seem very inexperienced , frankly unprofessional. You have skills, stick with them. Not making videos.
The minute I take off, I would be lost were I came from. All sheds look the same at the end of the day. Such special skills at work here.

Nice vid. Enjoyed every minute. I flew with a friend out of Hooks in a 300 C . Flew in Hueys in the Army back in 71.
Man you are living the life! Thanks for the videos. If you can do more Helicopter videos that would be awesome.

Looks like fun to me! I like the format!!
Thanks!
11:18 i thought airwolf music was going to kick in.. Cool vidso, keep up the good work!
Great video, fresh, interesting and nice to fly the tree line.
Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the feedback - noted.
Brilliant. Well done. Really enjoyed it all. Much better than a lot that's on RUclips.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the video.....as a retired A&P from Airevac EMS....I enjoyed it. Merry Christmas and God bless.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Merry Christmas and God bless you as well!
Thanks. I do miss my 206L's...great flying bird. Blessings@@GuardianAir
Hi lm 206 pilot .i just fly with jet ranger#1&2 and would love to fly with this updated one.good luck and rotor in green
@@mohammadnouri7637 The L's are sweet. Ours were all converted to EMS, but we kept one trainer in the fleet.....sneaked a few hours of time my self...lol Blessings.
This is so cool I absolutely love helicopters great flight
Superb flying you are a good pilot 🧑✈️ kind regards to you Mark from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Your doing a fantastic job job at multi tasking. Keep em coming
Nice! Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I love that type video, real time. Would have like to seen the rest of the action.haha
Great! Thanks for the feedback. Next time I’ll try to get more of the flight on camera

Shheeeedddd, I'd work for minimum wage for hours

Awesome video! 😉 It is a fine job! I like Jetranger very much (see on my channel). Nice to see that this pilot how easily handling this helicopter.
Never saw a pilot hold the collective like that.
I took it there was a button there he needed access to, like maybe power trim, friction zero for hands-off flying, or for autorotating.
Huckleberry Hawk in Airwolf ☝🏼😉
I would guess a wrist injury.
Dude, that was a great video. Makes me wish I had followed a different path in life.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work! This style of video is more engaging to watch.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback
Some where there is a helicopter with no doors carrying a 150 lb tool box secured only by a couple of seat belts, damn, that's disconcerning.
Live the jetty. The video was great. Keep them coming
Cool Video Brendon! Soon your going to have to mount a Red up there lol.
Thanks man! Yes someday haha
Becoming helicopter pilot used to be my dream, then life happened---chronic health problems
I’m sorry to hear that.
@@jonshellmusicthanks. Trying to figure out who I am
Thank you for that nice realistic video!
What SOS-Garmin subscription do you use?
How did you record the sound from the headphones?
Glad you enjoyed the video! I use the Garmin Inreach mini 2. I have the plan that updates the location every 2min. I have an adapter that plugs directly into my GoPro form the headset plug.
Vary vary nice!

great video... only comment from me is it's YOUR decision as to hot/cold refuelling... 👍

for the timelapse sequences
Great video.

Is there a weight and balance deduct for flying with the doors off?
I’m in the process of getting my private pilot. Them will be working on all my hours. On average how much can you make being a contractor pilot?
thank you :)
What tow cart is that?
Bad habit holding collective that way?
Great video keep them coming :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Is it dangerous to fly without doors
No
The operators manual specifies a speed restriction with doors off for various aerodynamic reasons. other than that it's perfectly safe - wear your seatbelt! 😃
LOVE THE VIDEO REAL LIFE IS BETTER THAN MADE UP B S
You have a strange way of holding the collective. Hmmm
You are not using a checklist??? Big mistake. Regardless of how familiar you are with your machine, failure to read a checklist will catch up with you one day. Safety, safety, safety.
