As a Brit I find it funny that the German air ambulances are operated by the German equivalent of the Automobile Association. It makes complete sense considering how it was all set up, but the thought of seeing AA-liveried Air Ambulances is amusing to me.

In the UK air ambulances are charities and I think London one is sponsored by Virgin and has their logo on their helicopter.

You’ve been missed Captain Joe ☹️ Its great that you are back again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 xx

The maintenance crew must be amazing. That vehicle is completely spotless. I stared at the fuel port. Spotless!

A few years ago, I went to a local air show and a rescue helicopter flew right above my head….. My hair started flying everywhere. I remember my mother being worried that it would crash 😂.

Hi Joe, I live in Norway and this exact helicopter is used by the hospital in my town and i have always wanted to see it up close so thanks

You uploaded on my birthday!! I used to work in the emergency department at a level 1 trauma unit and I always had so much respect for the HEMS team! Great video Joe!

Fascinating. Good to see new content again. I had the opportunity to look at a Bundeswehr H145 last summer, and they don't have any cover for the fenestron transmission/actuator, it all sits out in the open. It's apparently an optional part if you order an H145 from Airbus. They said it was to speed up maintenance, and to see any problems more easily and quickly. It's also interesting that the fenestron has unequal distances between the blades. The reason is noise reduction, just like normal road tires have unequal distances between treads and grooves, to spread out the spectium of the noise. Otherwise tires and fenestrons would create a very objectionable high-pitched whine.

Welcome back Captain Joe ! We missed you

Always great to see the attention to detail of our emergency services and a prayer that I don’t need to be a patient. Blue skies! I’m still waiting to see Capt Joe piloting a supersonic helicopter 🚀🚁

That's how I checked the VW Polo during my practical driving exam.

really cool video as usual :) its nice to see you back! i love the neat little stairs that pop out the fuselage so he can look at the rotor and engine compartment!

Finally after 5 months I have been waiting

There's a lot to check with a helicopter! It's moments like this I'm glad I fly fixed wing aircraft - the prestart takes only a fraction of the time, and that's being just as thorough!

Yay!!!🎉 Where have you been?!!

Awesome! thank you captain for sharing this amazing vídeo.👌

He is back. yay!!!!

Welcome back captain J,thank S to you and Jen’s for a great informative tour of the emergency services helicopter,safe flights,take care,all the best from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏👏👏👍🇦🇺

When I was younger and my dad was with the Flying Doctor Service in Kenya, I used to help him check the planes (mainly Cessnas) for fruit. Fruit?😲 Yep. There was a fig tree close to the airfield, and when they were ripe an unknown animal (or possibly a bird) used to collect them and store them EVERYWHERE. The Land Rovers had them stuffed behind their wheels and up their exhaust pipes, but the aircraft were the real target. Once, when one of the 172s was undergoing a major service and was out of action for nearly a month, we found over 30 lbs of figs hidden under the engine cover. I wonder: what's the oddest thing that Jens has found when performing an outside check? 🤔

Ahh! Captain finally good to see you.

I remembered seeing a German show called Medicopter 117 - Jedes Leben zählt when I was a kid (they did a Vietnamese dub on it). The BK 117 that they use belong to DRF and is the predecessor to the EC145

he's back!

Always Great to see you!

When the world needed him most, he returned! :) Thanks for the video, helicopters are such amazing machines! Additional question: What is inside the massive compartment in the left clam shell door, next to the first aid kit?

Another great video Captain.

Nice to see you are uploading still!

Wow that's quite an extensive checklist.

The man is back!

Again,welcome back,Best wishes!!!! Looking forward to seeing your next new video about flying, hopefully soon!!!👮✈️✈️✈️👍

I just commented on the precious video about missy ya captain 😂😂

Awesome really enjoyed this video… 😊

Enjoyable! I usually delegate this task to my Microsoft ground crew. Question for you -- I have flown this exact model (including with the ADAC livery) many times and had noticed that the tail "feathers", i.e., fenestron blades are not evenly spaced. I thought that was a carelessness on the part of the simulator model developers but no, this seems to be in fact accurate. Can you explain the aerodynamic thinking behind why the tail blades are not evenly spaced? Thank you in advance, and thank you for this marvelous in depth walk around. EDIT: Oh man, right after posting the question I think I have the answer -- in a fashion similar to how turbine jet engines are designed with differing numbers of blades between compressors and stators to reduce inadvertent "howl", would I be guessing correctly to say it is to minimize the potential for a "beat" frequency every time the blades line up with the fenestron stators?

@KevinT3141

2 ай бұрын

Okay, so I'm not the only one that noticed that. My assumption is noise reduction and I started googling it in the background, but then I was missing the video so I backed it up and put my phone down. :)

@KevinT3141

The Wikipedia article on the fenestron says: "While conventional tail rotors typically have two or four blades, Fenestrons have between seven and eighteen blades; these may have variable angular spacing so that the noise is distributed over different frequencies."

​@@KevinT3141 as I had guessed. If the blades line up regularly you've essentially created a siren. That's how those things work. Nobody wants a siren flying past lol. Thanks for the reply. 👍🤠

The tail assembly is bigger than I imagined.

Sehr schönes Video, vielen Dank. Sehr spannend, um auch das Fachenglisch zu überprüfen 🙂 wäre noch cool gewesen, die Cockpit Checks zu sehen ❤

Awesome video.

Where you been Joe!!!

That was interesting. I have seen many videos of walkarounds around fixed wing aircrafts, but not yet around a helicopter! One question. This heli has a FDR, as we saw, but does it also have a CVR?

Я очень рада тебя видеть здесь. Прекрасное видео . Удачи красавчик Джо. Береги себя!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

When will the cockpit explanation version come?

I actually fly this one in MFS2020. Paid addon but defo worth the money.

Hey Joe, great video. I'm wondering how often pilots really find defects or damages during the walk around check. Your 747 ist also well maintained and technicians do checks frequently. How often did you find something? Thank you!

Hey Joe I’m Aarav. Nice to meet you. This is great content so I was thinking that you should have a discord community. It will be great. 😊

I think you mean Pitot Tubes. They are used to measure airspeed. More detailed info is easily searchable.

Most obvious question: What do they do if there is an emergency call during the outside check?

You could see this thing in the ADAC RALLY DEUTSCHLAND.. round of the WRC.

Common mate we need more videos from you. You are the best. Mentor pilot overtook you 🤦

why are the blades on the tail rotor not set up in a symmetric or repeating pattern?

@Espojohn522

I’m wondering the same thing. My guess is for harmonics, similar to tire treads but I’m not sure

@SylAmra

Uneven blade spacing in a fenestron is for noise dampening. The pattern creates two separate acoustic frequencies that can cancel each other out (similar to how noise canceling headphones work) to make the tail rotor quieter than most other helicopters.

I've seen a couple models that close if not that in depth.

ha we have the same "trouble shoot" - more than 15mill. will airbus see how it was to stear/trimm "reverse" ? also "turn around" on one point ?

Why does the right-hand skid step have a flat top, but the left-hand side is round?
