Our pilot flies on the right side as well. The same side as where the loaders hook up. Unbelievable how awesome this work is even as a loader. Love it!
Depends on the work. But corn run you could make $60 to $80k in a month or two. You have to work the ground for a few years first though. I worked the ground for 4 1/2 years before I got to fly.
@@airbornerat lmfao. . . like that is even close to coming into effect here. . . Kid if MAST BUMPING was even a threat this flight wouldn't happen rofl. . . *edit* maybe next time be less of an ass, and explain your concerns and how this and that happen to OP ehh? I'ts not that hard to NOT be a condescending prick, try it someday, you will feel relieved :)
@@tylerw1418 I know that was sarcasm but either way I’ve been a managing a company with 7 helis for a few years now and getting our 8th this year. Need more GC if your interested.
@@jamesswartz23 awesome! What kind of birds do you run? I did 5 years on the ground and have been flying for about the same now. New rule for loaders might becoming out that would make finding drivers easier.
@@tylerw1418 all R44s right now. Considering the new one being a 66 but not sure we want to have to worry about two different types of fuel. What rule you referring to? We don’t usually have any trouble finding ground guys but we have been growing pretty fast the last few years and are picky about who we hire. What state are you based in?
Loads of benefits over an airplane… slower application speeds (60-80kts vs 120-150kts) means more accurate application, especially with ultra fine droplet sizes on 2-3gpa work. Ability to safely get closer to the ground and obstacles means more accurate application also. Being able to fuel/load from a truck on site as opposed to an airfield means less ferry time and don’t have to worry about other traffic using a runway. Some corn/soybean fields are in odd shapes with sensitive areas around that aren’t suitable for an airplane. Both types of machines have their benefits and draw backs

Love the McDonalds hahaha
0:58 bro is texting while flying 💀
We do far more.
this is so satisfying to watch. i like all that cluster you got going on on the cyclic , what’s all the extra instruments you have set up there ? 🤔
With a full load on how much of helicopter power is using seem like the first couple of passes are pretty taxing on it after refill
Yikes. Robbinson Helicopters
cool Helicopter noises.
I'd like to know what kind of GPS you have because i know AGNAV model but your type look good, thanks for your answerLionel
Tracmap
I gotta get one of these for the farm
How much can you make a year doing crop dusting because I am interested in it

@@tylerw1418 ok thanks
Shoot for "paid by acre" rather than "paid by hour"
@@bestmandodad3850 ya I’ve never heard of hourly ag pay. Just percentage or set dollar amount per acre.
@@tylerw1418 Did you have your Commercial ticket when the whole time you had to work the ground??
I would be to worried about the rotors snapping off 🥵👍
Its inposibble

@@shanedog007 how was I being a condescending prick u condescending prick :)
Wouldn't happen the pilot is keeping the heli under load or positive G.
I'm sure glad I do this with a turbine...
There is no turbine in r44
@@alibabaa715 There is in the helicopters that I fly!!!
@@garyfischer4357 sorry, I missed “I” in your comment, great 😎
MAX & RUBY
I would be afraid that Robbie would chop it;s own tail off.
NEVER GiVE UP
your are very similer to my dad
park closer to your fields it will make you more efficient.
We would be lost without people like you. How long have you been an ag pilot?

@@jamesswartz23did you end up getting the 66? It’s a good spray ship.
Air tractor is way cooler
Of course an AirTractor is king of the skies, and sound WAYY cooler xD
@@shanedog007I disagree on the sound
No Benefit over a airplane at all!!
Some Aircraft could operate cheaper, depending on loads, distances, and clearances
