Robinson R22 Startup Procedure

Learn how to Startup the worlds hardest helicopter to fly, the Robinson R22 helicopter! Some instructors may have a different but similar startup procedure. I teach my students to use the current Robinson R22 startup checklist from the POH. Recorded with a GoPro headmount. Fly Safe!

    A very straight forward informative video, no unnecessary chatter, ego in check (+) I am a Pilot and watch many flying video's and many like your's, You are the kind of instructor students should seek out. I flew a R22 years ago with Mitch Ross, a real solid instructor with a vast knowledge of aviation. Also an easy guy to talk with.

    I just booked my intro flight with my local pilot school, we will be riding this helicopter model. Very nice video sir, definitely looking forward towards becoming a recreational pilot.

    It is interesting. Do you do surprise helicopter? for ceremony.

    This is a big difference when you see in the movies where people jump into a helicopter and the next thing they take off and up in the air ! But that's Hollywood for you.

    Also another myth is in a movie were its people who have never flown before, and make it up in the air is a false. 10/10 would crash the bird. The skill/experience needed is a lot of hours and training.

    At the risk of destroying the helicopter, and killing yourself, sure you could be off of the ground in a couple of minutes.

    In emergency situation, like you're being shot at and need to escape in the helicopter like in the movies, you could skip most of the checklist. Most of items are for checking the helicopter's systems or warming up the engine so it lasts longer. In an emergency rapid takeoff, the longest thing would be waiting for the clutch to engage enough for you to take off. In a turbine helicopter you wouldn't even need that. R22 being shot at takeoff checklist: jump in mixture down master switch on start engine clutch on rotor brake disengage pray/shoot back while the clutch is engaging which can about a minute throttle up until governor kicks in take off and get the hell out of there Flipping switches only takes a second each, so without the clutch engage time you could be off in maybe 15 seconds.

    I'm going to be moving to Logan Utah in August, and there is a flight school at the airport there that has a fleet of these birds. I'm going to check into going to flight school there next Spring. I have a flight sim program that I log a minimum of 15 hours a week, and it has helped me a lot with the handling of R/C helicopters, and I understand the basic functions of the Cyclic, Collective, Tail Rotor and Throttle and how they all work together. Yes, I know it's a lot different than an actual helicopter, but it has taught me a lot about them.

    Nice job. Not too fast and not too slow. Camera was great quality, not shaky. It was good how you re-capped the ENG start sequence after you actually started the engine.

    I find this video very enjoyable to watch. I know nothing about this guy but he has a very professional routine with the check list, and it's also nice to see pilots wearing Nomex-gloves taking safety seriously. 👍🚁

    My question is this, In what condition is it safe to take your hand off the collective/throttle while going through start up? Because I know it takes 2 hands to put on your headset. I just want to know whats safest. Collective Friction on, Gov off?

    After setting the altimeter to field elevation, the next step is to turn the Governor on; you accidentally said off.

    Late reply, but one exception is medivac/casevac aircraft. They will do this check list (for their airframe) at the start of the day, but then shut down, and leave everything in the same position, so they can really kind of hop in and do a much faster start up.
