Excellent tutorial, no music, no drama, just solid information ... I wish others would get the message that all that "foo-foo" junk adds nothing to the instructional value! Thanks.
David Redmond, you've explained and taught me this before going through flight school in such an outstanding way that I could understand it 100% I will for sure be ahead of the game now and I'm sure it has eased things up for me in future teachings of this. I love the analogies. made it very easy to follow and comprehend. Thank you so much brother!
Hi. Had my first helicopter ride this past weekend in a R-44 Raven II. Very exciting. You presented a good explanation and I learned how the chart helps identify power. But one caveat; always describe the pressure of air as a "pushing force," not as a vacuum. Nature seeks to fill a vacuum all the time and vacuums do not draw/suck air. So when barometric pressure drops from 30" Hg to 28" the air pressure is lower and doesn't seek to fill the vacuum as quickly, thus the HP loss. Same thing in a car engine. Thanks! :D
Great job on the explanation. I had an old army maintenance pilot once say that the term "de-rated" was probably the cause of the confusion. He liked to explain this same theory, except he used the term "reserve engine power" needed for higher altitudes. Since the "De-rated" term has become the language we use when teaching, the law of primacy makes it hard for us to change. I notice that you use both the Robbie & Enstrom when posting these videos. If you add the explanation of how the turbo charger (like the one on the Enstrom) effects the manifold pressure, it might be helpful for your Enstrom students too.
Can you do a nuts and bolts explanation video on how to basically manage that manifold pressure, examples, what to watch for, what to watch out for. I hear about this constantly with airplanes but no one seems to go into the practical does and don'ts and examples of controls and what you actually twist turn etc, to balance out manifold pressure against 'whatever' else.

Great job. In addition, engines, whether its piston or turbine are de-rated to so that the engine will make TBO. The hover charts are just references if you try to hover beyond the reference point you can experience low rotor rpm. I tell my students to rename the charts "low rotor charts". Some older engines don't get anywhere near the references on the chart. So be careful especially at higher altitudes where the chart says you can do it, yet the LR horn is blaring in a hover.
Really enjoyed and more importantly UNDERSTOOD thank you sir. I'm going to use this for my high school class due to your ability to put a complicated concept in a very simple way.
4:10 why aren't we letting it pull full power? Because RHC uses lighter materials in the engine so with too much air/fuel entering ilthe engine would wear out faster than is safe with our inspection intervals?
one question: Why do yo not use a pressurized motor? Such a motor has a much lower derating in high altitude and is also much lighter in weight. For example the pressurized Rotax-Motor gives also about 125 hp.
The manifold pressure like the oil pressure should be monitored and handled with automation since the pilot has enough on his plate just flying the helicopter and only if there is a problem or potential danger should the pilot be alerted by a warning light and sound. The helicopter can also be designed to prevent the pilot from exceeding design tolerances during flight to prevent accidents.
Another outstanding explanation! I'm currently working on my CFII and wish you the best of luck in your career. Hope to cross paths out there one of these days. 👍🏻
How can the MAP chart be indicating 124 hp throughout if the power they tell you to pull gets lower and lower? In your example, you indicated you would have to pull the same HP at elevation to get the same HP.
I believe you are forgetting the lapse rate. I reviewed the video again carefully and it is 100% accurate.

Hi (Kenny?), thanks for your response. I actually have the lifetime membership on HOGS. Let me be more specific about what I'm confused on: In the video it's stated that at 24 inches at sea level, the derated engine is producing 124 HP. Then, it's stated that at 3000 feet, the derated engine is still at 24 inches (with some reserve left over), and still producing the same amount of horsepower - that horsepower would only decrease if the inches pulled had to also decrease. So if the MAP chart is indicating 124 hp throughout the chart, why does the inches you need to pull to get 124 hp go progressively lower with altitude, although in the example in the video you stated that you pull the same number of inches to maintain the same horsepower at higher altitude?
I believe the illustration is confusing you. Think of it this way, barometric pressure decreases as you climb. At some point you will be full throttle, only to achieve the same manifold pressure and horsepower as you had in a ground effect hover. When the non-turbo aircraft reaches full throttle, the manifold pressure and the outside barometric pressure are equal. Butterfly fully open, cannot increase from there. If you continued to climb, you would run out of power

So basically, you should know your horsepower rating and that its is safe depending on temperature, weight of aircraft, and manifold pressures and fly within that range with a margin a extra power in reserve, but exceed this, and you shrink that margin to unsafe level.

Yeah I have my private and I doing my commercial now I'm confused with MP when used with different wastgates in turbocharger (for an unknown reason) ^^ getting there eventually
I see. MP is a different topic when moving from a non turbo to a turbo. A non turbo always has a vacuum when running because the engine is sucking the air in, while a turbo builds pressure greater than the daily barametric pressure when running because the air is being forced in with a fan driven mechanically from another fan in the exhause flow. The manufacture sets the limits on both based on their research. A waste gate set up would definately have a great deal to do with their magic number to limit you on a turbo.
