As of October 31, 2020, I've become a certified helicopter flight instructor! I train and fly out of Atomic Helicopters, located at Boeing Field/King County International Airport (KBFI) just south of downtown Seattle, Washington, USA. Most of my early time was in the Schweizer 300C, which is such an amazing little helicopter to fly. These days however, I’m almost exclusively working in a Robinson R44 Raven II.
I'm happy to be able to share my love of aviation with you. Thanks for tagging along!

Are you still teaching?
O.k. that was fun......
So Nice! not so many videos on a 300C with 3 people on it !!! How much total wight did you have it (including petrol)? I want to buy one but sometime Im doubt about cause I need 3 places and can flight at 6000 feet!.... mountain aea, imagine our airport is a 2600 feet, so ...... dont know
Excelente.

Yep, going back was great too. Thank you so much.
That was great! I live just off 27 Jefferson Co. Your son has got it, good job. Hope you get to see the museum at Jefferson Co sometime. It’s very fine. All the best to you and your family.
I visited here yesterday and also to the person that lives in sultan I do too
🌳🚁🌳
Nice flying.
Why on earth do you want to be a helicopter CFI ?
lovely flying mate
Pure physics. Thank you for tutorials
I’m 25 , born and raised in Tacoma WA. Dope ass fucking video!
Thank you Sir, You explained it in better way.
I love it,
This guy's marker skills, are absolutely on another level.
😂
Perfect about of squeek too
I live in sultan and this lake never gets old to visit. You can drive up to it, but it's totally different from the air.
I'm following the Mountain Rescue associations course on basic Helicopter Safety and functions. I used your video for a reference! From a sar volunteer, Thank you. Keep it up you are a great instructor.
Thank you so much for the support, and for volunteering your time with SAR!
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO....Thanks
Hey cool heli guy, love seeing my old neighborhood out of you your heli. really cool! Do you think it would be possible to change the angle of the camera to see more of the surroundings? Possibly a second camera that captures even more of the great landscape and your heli while flying? Just a wish from a fan from you in Germany. keep on flying
Thanks for watching! I definitely have some better angles in mind for future videos, including a skid mounted 360 cam that I’m excited to try out. I’ve been so busy lately and haven’t really had the energy to set up (and down) the camera gear and edit video. But I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and am hoping to get that all going again soon. Thank you again!
Love it!! 👍🏼
I’m working on learning the physics of helicopters for an application and this has been the best explanation of resultant relative wind out of all the videos I could find! Thank you
Thank you so much for the support!
🔥🔥🔥
thank you for this
good job. Those pies must be worth it
You jumped out of that 300 rather quickly 😂
This is cool thanks alot 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
Any time! 😃
what kind of cameras do you use to record the videos? Like that one on the control panel.
Hello! The camera on the dash is a GoPro Max 360 camera. The other camera is a GoPro Hero 7 Black.
I wish you record vedio to the instrument and flight controls
Perfecto👍
That’s awesome
BTW, Boeing is putting that real estate on the market.
Just discovered your Channel. I'm playing dcs(digital combat simulator) for a while now and im trying to become a heli pilot irl. Ingame I got into helis a few weeks ago. Had a lot of struggle getting a hand of landings. Wanted to know what might be the effects that i have to keep in mind to finaly get them done right. Found your channel, great work with your vids man. Simple explanations of hard to understand topics. Really helped me. Keep up the good work! sorry for my english im german :S
Awesome! Send me an email at [email protected], and I’ll be happy to continue the conversation. Your English is great, by the way!
Awesome route in. Nice to get a preview of the ATC calls for when I try this later this month. I'll be asking for a transition to S50 after a waterfront pass.
Thanks a lot! You helped me with my project 👍👍
Coming from a governed machine, it's constant alarm bells going every time I hear that RPM change-- I can't help it :D
I am pretty positive that weight is not an aerodynamik force...
Correct. Weight is a function of gravity and is just easier to talk about. Since the weight we feel also changes during maneuvers (based on load factor), it’s a nice way to help us visualize and describe various concepts.
@@LeileFlying okay, hard for me to wrap my head around but as i am the only one "complaining", I seem to be the only one minding it so... carry on :D Also I wanna say sorry for my negative comment, I should have told you that i really liked the video other than the weight thing! have a nice one!
No worries at all! I know it can be tricky stuff to wrap your head around, and Ive been there for sure. Are you in training now? Feel free to shoot me a mail at [email protected]. I’d be happy to answer questions, or even set up a one-on-one Zoom call to help with any areas you’re having trouble with. Happy flying!
@@LeileFlying Well yea i recently started my CPL-H integrated in Europe. Thanks for the offer, i will gladly take you up on it if i feel the need to! Right now i feel relatively confident. With "hard to wrap my head around" i meant the concept of looking at gravitiy as a aeordynamic force. The thing is that aerodynamic forces depend on the movement and axial alignement of the aircraft while gravitiy is always a downward force , absolutely independent of the aircrafts movement and alignement. Have a good one! Mike
Where are you going to be teaching? I fly out of Paine Field and have about 320 hours. I'm interested in a rotory-wing add-on rating, will you be teaching locally?
I’m instructing part time out of Boeing Field at Atomic Helicopters. Shoot me a mail at [email protected] if you’d like to coordinate an intro flight. I started fixed wing as well, but fell in love with helicopters from my very first lesson.
@@LeileFlying Excellent. Message sent.
LOL, this "Aviation Nerd" loves living near an airport. I can often be found in the Wendy's parking lot taking pictures. Nice video!
I love it! I always wave at the photogs I see in parking lots near airports. 😀 Find my email at leileflying.com, and hit me up if you’d like to get some shots from the passenger seat sometime. 🚁😎
Excellent film footage, commentary, scenery and sound.
Excellent scenery.

The Schweizer is a great machine. I knew some guys who hook a skid and suffered dynamic rollover in a C model. Totaled machine; got out and walked away unscathed.
I agree! The 300 is easy to fly, tough as an ox, incredibly capable, and is a reliable and safe ship. I’m hopeful that they’ll restart the build pipeline soon! 🤞
Nice Video, even I understood what you were getting across to your student. Clear and simple.😊👍
.
More of a hover than a "landing".
Hello Liked watching your flights watched 2 would like to know a little more about flying can you send me a message Thanks solar_pilot
I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! You can head to my web site at leileflying.com, where you can find my email and Instagram links. Either of those can be used to message me. I’d be happy to have a chat!
To the instructor: Very nice video. You are very calm and reassuring. I'm sure it can be nerve-wracking at times letting go of the controls but your confidence is passed to the student. Nice to watch this! Happy 2021!
Thank you so much! It’s not as nerve wracking as you might think to hand over the controls - you’ve just got to be gradual with how much of the controls you give over at a time. And of course, always be ready to recover in the inevitable event where the student loses concentration. 😂 Happy 2021 to you as well, and thanks for commenting!
This will help my xplane flying
