Would it not be better for the aircraft to skid on the grass? or is this not allowed?

[wa22030]

Allowed yes, better no. Asphalt is more likely to be consistently flat and smooth. The skids are allowed to flex outward more on asphalt too, which is what they are designed to do when the hit the ground. Hard metal shoes on the bottom of the skids generally protects the aluminum.

[motokid032]

Don't you want to straighten out and set it down flat on the skids?

Seems to me the rocking would but a lot of strain on the airframe.

[wa22030]

Probably because the air speed is so low at the end of the flare the natural position of the ship is tail low so the back of the skid hits first causing a bit of rocking. A bit faster at the end of the auto could help run it on flatter with more slide but generally the full touch down is to the spot. Better to have the back of the skids touch first than the front to prevent any "tipping". I'm sure the airframe, skids and mounts can all handle it. Just think what these airframes did in Vietnam.

@wa22030

True fact about the Vietnam comment..I guess these things we're time tested so a little bit of rocking won't hurt too much.

Who are you and why are you abusing my helicopter like that?

[cmtalessandro]

Uol! This is really how to land without engine help!

Congratulations and thanks for the vid!

Check out my photos of World Winds choppers and the Autos that you can save as a screen saver.

Have fun!

Nice photos. It's nice to have the "all access" pass. Great quality and composure too. Thanks

EXCELLENT video, thanks a LOT

[euroastar350]

@notar1 The design, although well proven, wasn't a success. Who is going to send a derelict UH1H airframe back to Bell plus $3m USD to have it rebuilt into a certified civil airframe when a standard 205 can be made into a 210 for less then the 210? Great ship though, guess Bell needs to reinvent new designs thats not based on the 206 or Huey series.

[Rodrigo2838]

@euroastar350 The 210 is simply a UH-1H(205) with a -703 1800hp engine, its the same as the Huey II!

[sledin208]

@euroastar350 why mess with something that works and works great! as an arial fire fighter the 212 and 205 are great ships! i got to work with a 210 from minute men avaition, the ship performed a lot better at higher altitudes then the 205 or 212. sure the cost sucks, but if they can afford it, go for it!

[lande22]

Looks just like I just to do them.

[euroastar350]

Ahh the rare Bell 210, such an elegant design only to be eliminated from the product lineup.

[notar1]

@euroastar350 why?

must be nice to have so much energy stored in the rotors during an auto
