Couldn't imagine having driven at the age of 16. Minimum age here is 18 (though for quite some time it's possible to "dual" at 17, but that wasn't the case when I learned), and it took me similarly long as it took Mover to get his PPL-H, so basically I wasn't allowed to drive before being 19. Never had the chance though to drive my parents' cars, since they always had the insurance conditions with some minimum age of the driver, and the insurance companies nicely kept raising that age to prevent me from driving as I never could afford my own crate - until glaucoma happened, still got the license, but I'm just too responsible to even try it again - TD;DR: Getting the license was the biggest waste of money in my life and I could only imagine :D

@@CakePrincessCelestia I live in Queensland, Australia and you can apply for a learners permit once you've reached the age of sixteen. After certain conditions of learning and passing a test you can apply for a provisional licence (allows you to drive around by yourself with certain restrictions) once you've reached seventeen. I think then an 'open' licence is available at eighteen years of age.

Awesome flight sir we’ll done !!

G,day Mover from Sydney Australia. * Looking for powerlines. That flight was somewhat rewarding, just like a country drive. I know it cost a pretty penny. Going back to sleep, sir. 🌏🇦🇺

Great video and I like the funky music.

Should get your friends to pop smoke haha. Also ATC is in a good mood today 😊

My friend should visit me with a chopper, he’d have to beat me out of it 😂

That was cool AF. Shame your buddy couldn’t hop in for a quick spin.

I saw the first half of the title and thought he had to make an emergency landing somewhere lol

Looking good in that flight Mover. How long till we see ya shopping for a surplus MI-24 to buzz the Bayou with?

This reminded me of a day long ago for a young man with a fresh printed license to roam and nowhere to go. Of course I had been driving ever since I could reach the pedals, but that day... That day was different. Great job. Well done.

OMG a clear day! Nice to see a blast from your early video past. Have fun flying!

Love these vlogs 💪🏻

Wow…. Time to start LEARNING!

Must be such a fantastic feeling knowing you can jump in the helo anytime and go for a spin. Since I'm thinking that's not an option in the Jet so much :) Gotta love a controller that sounds like he loves his job.

That was awesome. I need a helicopter 🚁 😂

I brought this channel - and specifically this series - to my petrol-head nephew's attention some months ago because I thought (hoped, really) that it might spark a new interest. Literally his first comment? Something like, "Er, so he was a fighter pilot who wants to fly helicopters now? Why? Does he want to fly Apaches?" I actually thought that was a fair question.

Reason 4367 why Mover is cooler than you: Flies a helicopter to his buddy's house. Fist-Bumps, Quick "'Sup?", Then is all like, "Okay, I'm out. C-ya". Flies back. :) So it really is awesome that your hard work paid off.

Looks like you are really embracing the versatility of swing wings!

Nice landing Mover!

A couple weeks ago I took off and kept hearing this loud banging. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from but it sounded structural. Instruments all looked good and plane was flying exactly as it should. Eventually I discovered the passenger seatbelt was hanging outside the passenger door.. woops :).

well that looked like fun

CW. LEMOINE: Maybe you can answer this question: what restrictions are there for landing off airport in a Helicopter. For example: do you have to only stick to a flight plan, or can you land in places with adequate space?

@CWLemoine

2 жыл бұрын

It depends. There is no flight plan unless you file one (which you typically wouldn't when flying VFR). As for where you can land, it's anywhere that's safe and not restricted by local laws. Private property is fine with the owner's permission. Some parks are okay, others have specific restrictions.

You should have a copy/paste preset for that AC coolant info :D

I can see it in your mind's eye, " I AM Stringfellow, and this IS Airwolf!"

This is perhaps the main reason I'd pursue a heli PPL

That was a nice video, very instructive on orbiting to check conditions prior to landing. Wondering why you didn't shut down and go in for a glass of tea or something? and regulations to landing off-field in a rural neighborhoods?

Time. Had to get back to NOLA to park the helo and then get home for other obligations that afternoon.

I forgot what town it was, we were doing a cross country flight in x2 60’s and x2 58’s. Landed at some strip that had massive hangers. Inside literally were like billionaire aviation summer homes. A full hanger with multiple planes, RVs, helicopters, and a actual apartment condo like house inside🤯.

R44 won't mess up his trees lol. Might give them a little shake
