Hahaha...they have a lot of that stuff down pretty damn good. I used MFS many years ago to go fly an actual Cessna 172. Can't remember which version, 98 maybe. Flew it quite a bit and one day saw an ad for a $35 "Introductory Flight Lesson" in the paper. Huh...I got $35. Didn't know what to expect, signed papers, waited on the instructor. When we went out and I saw we were heading to a 172 I started telling him what I knew as we did the walk around. Once inside I did everything but talk on the radio. Same cockpit layout, FS was pretty good. Checklist. Started it up, he told me where to taxi. Lined up on the runway, took off, leveled out at about 2500, then followed the river, couple loops around a mountain and back. He's watching me the whole time of course but he never touched a control. Other than which way to go he didn't have to tell me what to do. He asked more than once as we went, "are you sure you haven't done his before?" Not in real life sir. Feels a whole lot better and much much better vision than a screen on a PC. However, there's no reset button either. I'm lined up coming in to land and started worrying about hitting the brakes too hard. You can't simulate that feel. I said I'm going to hand it to you. He said are you sure? Doing great. About 500 feet I gave it to him, let him touch down and get us slowed a bit first, then I taxied back and parked. It was a good day.

This is a very good video HOWEVER is it really necessary to have any music playing in the background? I’m here to learn what you are talking about, not to listen to music which takes away from what you are talking about.😊

My son, who graduated last April, spent his first year in SUU’s Aviation Pilot Program. After a year he switched to business and is now a broker with Vanguard in North Carolina. But boy, did he love flying those Sirius’ around that beautiful area.

Look at that Garmin Technology. Glad to hear work for such a great company.

Loved it, and that 407 is my favorite besides the Bell 212.

That's a pretty perfect video, good cuts, clear voice with good informations right on the spot. Not too fast or too slow. One question....what would have been the alternate start?

Thanks a lot!! Happy landings

Can’t wait to see see more

Things have really improved since the 60's . Makes me want to do it one more time. Thanks for sharing.

I flew the OH-58D in the Army which is a 407 drivetrain crammed into a 206 fuselage. Awesome aircraft. I’d love to fly a “regular” 407, ha.

Watching these videos I never cease to wonder what the original settlers must have felt finding this seemingly endless land before them,riding on horses and in covered wagons. It all appears too easy now,the awe and the wonderment dissipating through familiarity. America four hundred years ago,almost unimaginable,and yet men and women braved it all and survived,if they were lucky.

Love the helment and flight suit. Sorry don't remember the exact name. Where did you purchase the helment at ? I really enjoyed the vid. Thanks for sharing with us these procedures. Saw this vid I had to subcribe.

Dang I wish I could do that. What a kick in the pants.

You should turn off the music when engine starting.

Great show. I definitely would rather fly a helicopter than a jet.

That helmet he has is sick! Which one is it?

Can you do one with Bell 222 pls

Do you think your stringfellow hawke out of airwolf with the helmet on lol

In the future, you will only need to turn a key to start engines, and push one button to check for any errors to be completed before take-off =)P

What's the alternate start?

Yet another video ruined by crappy music, did it ever occur to you we might like to hear the aircraft sounds, as well as see the start?

During flight, do you need to hold the collective all the time? How the keep level?

@lukelorusso154

10 ай бұрын

Short answer is yes in hover and no in cruise flight, if your friction is set properly. You can maintain level cruise flight with the cyclic control.

What the hell happened to holding the starter down and then introducing fuel. Airwolf didn't have it this good!!

Great but get rid of music!

I would love to initiate a start up procedure.🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁

The 407 seems to have the fastest to airborne flight check nd airborne.

Why do you need to have the sun visor down on your helmet during check and start procedure; Its cloudy?

JA!! WOHL!!!👏🏻

Navigation data expired for two years when this video has been uploaded? Wtf?

Robocock!

Every thing is great but the music.

Man I can barely start the Robinson.

Didn’t want to “RIDE” ON THE SKID though

Cut out the fluff and get rid of the music. Focus on training.

Many HEMS operators do use Bell 407s for their air ambulance services.

You’re not a ex military pilot are you, otherwise you wouldn’t have a trevor noah commercial would you?

Piss off the music makes it seem very unprofessional, also doesn't explain what any of the controls mean really

Why do Americans say the letter O instead of zero?

@obamadontreadgood

3 жыл бұрын

It's simple slang. A 0 (zero) looks like an O (oh) when written. O (oh) also has fewer syllables and begins with a vowel making it easier to squeeze in between other words than 0 (zero). Why Aussies say "zed" instead of "zee" for the letter Z. Edited for spelling.

Terrible video. Lose the stupid music so we can hear the sounds of the aircraft. Everything else was great.

Please kill that f888ing music. It serves no purpose.

Wow! He accomplished in 5-minutes what would have taken at least 35-minutes by car.
