I lived in Germany in the 1980s. They were one of the few "costless" helicopter rescue services in the World. Their is a memorial on the A1 with a Christop helicopter mounted there. One thing is that every nation has some sort of rescue service and, unfortunately, I have had to avail myself after a serious fall while hiking. Thank you, A.D.A.C. for leading the way.

That takes some SKILL to land on that platform exactly where he needs to in order for the rotor to clear the doors as it rolls back inside! Excellent video, Captain Joe!! These rescue folks don't get enough credit for what they do.

Living close to a big hospital, we have helicopters crossing over our house occasionally (they actually moved the landing pad, now it's more rare). I have full admiration for these pilots, as I have seen rescue helicopters land in impossible places. Thanks to all the crews of these important service!

What a great and inspiring video, one of the best yet in the channel. There is no career more noble than those who help people in their hour of need. And flying to do it is just divine. The doctors, pilots, paramedics, mechanics, everyone involved in those operations are true heroes. They are angels who descend from the sky to help people in need.

The only helicopter flight I ever made was in the back of a yellow "Christoph"... Sadly I have no memory of it as I was unconscious. Thank you to all these people giving their best every day saving lives!

Unlike 99% of the other short documentaries on rescue helicopters I really appreciate that you focused on the pilot's work for the most part. It's really rare to see that part of it as the attention of every TV camera usually lies on the medical team's work. As a helicopter pilot myself I really got a kick out of your commentary, it's lovely to hear your genuine amazement of things that seem completely natural to us chopper jocks, like e.g. lots of planning on the go, all the things to consider when selecting a landing zone or actually cleaning our own aircraft (Btw the oil stains on the uniform usually allows you to tell helicopter pilots apart from airplane pilots on the ramp!). And it's a good reminder to use every chance to broaden your horizon.

At the firefighters, when we are called to secure a landing spot of the rescue helicopter, we have to be really quick after the alarm. During the pandemic, helis were used more frequently, as the nearby hospitals, in reach of cars, were full and the patient had to be flown else where.

Really impressive how these rescue operations are tighly coordinated. ADAC surely does a stellar job of heli maintenance too. Joe, you may also try to get a ride with the Swiss mountain rescue Rega! They can fly in IFR conditions and they have lots of equipment for dealing with icing and bad weather with their current fleet. They snatch people off of glaciers and mountain sides throughout the year.

I was a patient in a similar model, and indeed the flight was amazingly smooth and stable. Didn't know what to expect, and it was my first helicopter flight ever, so no comparison with other helicopters.

10-15years ago I watched Medicopter 117 on telly. I was and I am still impressed with these aircrafts and it's staff members.

Captain Jo! This was a fantastic video. We have the same rescue heli's here in Norway. I can see them every day flying over my house in Oslo several times. They are doing a great job. There was a terrible accidend at Solihøgda near by Oslo for some years a go with an ambulance helicopter hitting some powerlines because the map was too old to show this lines at the map. They tried to save a truckdriver with a heartattack. Instead, the helicopter crashed on the place and killed 3 people in the heli. Very sad story. Something like this, has never happened again. And I hope it not will happen anytime at all. This people are doing a great job!!!! The best to you and of course the Germam rescueteem!! 🙂

Hallo Captain, einfach wieder ein ausgezeichnetes und aufschlussreiches Video von Ihnen! Besten Dank dafür 😊👍🏼

Thank you for this video with the crews from ADAC. I work flight dispatch for a hospital based HEMS- helicopter EMS service in the US. We operate Bell 407, EC135 & EC155. The pilots and the medical crews are definitely a unique and awe inspiring bunch. Weather is usually our biggest issue with flights otherwise are crews are ready to go 24/7. It is interesting how different countries operate rescue helicopters and I enjoy the insight into this one for sure as ADAC is a world class organization an one we all could learn a few things from. Their Hangar base is pretty cool as well with the on rails trolley system they have.

I serviced Ventilators and Heart pump equipment and a client was a Rescue Chopper, great people! Also way cool that they could use a vent or heart pump "On the Fly" Har har har. The rescue helicopter site was pretty remote from the Phoenix Area. It was interesting to learn that they are not based out of the city to avoid dealing with air traffic clearance for takeoffs and landing from base. Easier to deal with it on the fly as you approach the rescue site. Also increased your odds of being close to remote rescue areas in the mountains where people hike.

Thanks for this Joe. I've been amazed at other vids on KZread where ADAC choppers landed in some very challenging spots, including a small village street and a mountain highway. These pilots and medical crews are amazing!

As a Paramedic I found this video to be amazing ! To see the operations of a medic helicopter in another country compared to my country is always fascinating to learn from. Great vid 👍

Love the glass flight deck. Would like to see some of the life saving equipment aboard. Thank you for a great intro.

Fantastic video Joe! Nice to see the appreciation from you to the crew.

Love that design of that hanger with all the open light, I haven't seen any like that over here in the states.

Pretty cool to see this perspective! I've been a paramedic for most of the last year during the civil service we have to do in Austria. During that time I've had a few occasions where we needed an emergency doctor quickly. In rural areas, of course, flying is normally a lot faster than driving with a car to a lot of locations - especially if something happens in the mountains. All the encounters were very professional and the helicopter crews are indeed very calm in every situation. Awesome to see what happens after we provided first aid for the patients!

Wonderful work Captain Joe! Those of us in the medical field appreciate this!

Haha, imagine you would have to clean your 747 yourself each time. 😁 But as always great video showing our „Christoph's“ doing their very important work 👍 Always save flights to them 👍

Absolutely great video, Joe! Thanks to share these amazing heli operations that save lives! Congrats from Portugal 🙂👍🇵🇹

This "tiny platform" is bigger than some of the off-airport landing zones I have seen them make in my years in EMS. My favourite was when they came in over the lake, came down to just above the waves and landed sideways _under_ the big trees with the skids on either side of a sandbox in the yard.

My mood always goes up hearing the good ol “dear friends and followers” 😊

I can see how it would be easy to develop a deep admiration and respect for those who have chosen this profession…

In Venezuela I flew in the predecessor of this helicopter, the Bö 105, an excellent machine.

Dear Joe, Jens and others, thanks for this inspiring video! I've seen this one and the interview, and today I had the chance to talk to a colleague of Jens and learn some additional things I wondered about. I think it was a relief for him that I wasn't person 903 asking him about the same elementary/rudimentary things, because the videos taught me so much already. Probably because of that, we ended up talking about things waaaay different from helicopters. You people are awesome and I have the deepest respect for what you do! And thanks once again Joe for making these videos - everything I said in the previous sentence is about you too!

Amazing high quality video! Very very well explained! Thank you Captain

I actually work near the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus Ulm and hear the helicopter fairly often. Thanks for showing :)

Excellent video! Thank you!!! This gives you a good reason to go into MSFS and start helicopter flying!

A big shout out to al the rescue workers. What a nice job to be a rescue helicopter pilot. Nice to have you back Joe.

Not all helicopters have the PIC (pilot in command) in the right seat. I learned in a model that was left seat, and Aurbus even have a small single engine model(H130) that is left seat, so they can fit in more pax. H145 is a lovely machine. These guys do an incredible job. Loved this video. Had no idea some operated worh night vision goggles!

@jens_ru

Жыл бұрын

The main reason why the H130 has its pilot's seat on the left is that it was mainly made for helicopter sightseeing and has 3 seats in the front (instead of the usual 2). Since the seats are much closer together and the center console is also very small, there is a high risk that passengers will accidentally or panic grab the pilot's collective lever (the control that makes the helicopter climb and descend). Since helicopter pilots are used to having their left hand on the collective, you cannot easily change its position. So they changed the pilot's position to put the collective out of reach for passengers and reduce the risk.

@MeppyMan

Жыл бұрын

@@jens_ru correct. But as I said the helicopter I originally learned to fly in (Hughes 300b) was flown from the left for mostly CoG reasons. Also, similar to the EC130 it allowed two passengers if the right hand collective was removed.

@@MeppyMan Hughes/Schweizer 300, Bell 47 and Hughes/MD 500 are indeed flown from the left seat depending on the version. However, only if there are two passengerseats beside the pilot. In the case of versions with only one seat, the pilot sits on the right again. Since I've never flown the 300 and I don't have the manual, I can't judge whether the CoG also has something to do with it. Interesting topic in any case.

I didn't want this video to ever end. Love from a med student and pilot in Iceland.

A really great informative video. I flew with Army Air on occassion, not as a pilot, but rather an observer. I miss flying around with them. I've been around a number of medical evacs as well, and the quiet tension is undeniable. Everyone was usually exhausted after a tense deployment. But they were as professional as the team you depicted here. I actually knew the techniques for taking off, and landing by observing our crew, and talking with them. I never made it to Ft. Rucker though for pilot training. Oh well. I just really appreciated this video right now. Thanks. Cpt. Joe.

Excellent Insight, thanks Joe and the Crews involved.

Thank you for this video. I work as a flight nurse on a ec135 in the US. Was interesting to see the similarities and differences between HEMS in the two countries.

Interesting episode. I always heard that helicopters, rather would have some airspeed during landing and take off in case of a tailrotor failure. Then the tailfin will still make some stability.

The way how Captain Joe speaks with so much joy and positivity and moral is just excellent. I managed to watch this video relaxingly and at ease with his friendly and joyful manner. Keep it up Capt!

Great to see you in a different aircraft Joey! Beautiful aerial view of the Ulm Minster, world's tallest church tower and birthplace of Albert Einstein!

There are additional reasons for keeping some translational speed. In descent it prevents "settling with power'. That's a condition where the aircraft generates a vortex ring (like a smoke ring). The vortex creates a strong downdraft in the centre, where the helicopter is and can slam the helicopter into the ground. It also makes it possible to enter autorotation more easily, and with less loss of altitude. Again, helping to avoid slamming into the ground. This means that vertical takeoff and landing are the most dangerous ways of flying, and should be avoided wherever possible.

My uncle was a pilot for life flight for over 25 years. Got to hear all about operations and stories. We got to check out the hanger and roof tops of hospitals. Back years ago the pilots got to take passengers at the end of the night for a ride back to the airport hanger, those were some fun times to see the city and part of the mountains from the air. He got to do search and rescue missions alot and hoist people out of the mountains to safety. They got to work alot with fire departments, search and rescue, ski patrol.

Absolutely brilliant video - your enthusiasm is infectious and made this a really special insight into a critical job.

The H145 is really a beautiful aircraft!

From the Netherlands.. we have 4 (5?) rescue helicopters (we call them traumahelikopters, nicknamed "Lifeliners") around the country. I've seen many fly over and it always makes me sad and worried about someone's life, cos they get deployed in the most serious cases, especially when it involves a child. There's been some debate about the cost/effectiveness cos we're such a small country and an ambulance might be able to do the job. But research found out that it is beneficial cos of the lives that are saved (again, especially children). True heroes all of them!

This remind me of a famous German show call Medicopter 117. I watched it as a kid in Vietnam and I was mesmerized about it. Then later I found a website that have all episodes and I rewatched it even though I couldn't understand German at all.

Hey Joe!!! You have great videos.... love them.... but upload more man, keep it up!!!

Hey Joe, an addition about the vertical landing: I remember vertical landings are a threat to helicopters because they are in their own downwind. When going too fast, they will loose lift because the rotor is within the sinking air. I think that's also a reason they go forward or backwards while landing, so they can land faster

@murdoch9106

Жыл бұрын

Yes, the risk of VRS is a big reason they maintain forward momentum on landing and likely why they take off backwards or forwards instead of straight up. I only fly helicopters in simulators, but I've crashed many times due to VRS trying to land vertically. Below 30 kts and 300 - 700 ft per minute decent you are at high risk of a VRS situation.

This was awesome! The flying club that I train out of is right next to the hangar for the rescue helicopter service in my city. They operate a similar aircraft and I often watch them coming in and out. Thank you for the inside view 😁
