While this landing does not require any unusual skill for a helicopter pilot, it is dangerous. Those talking about landing on dollies are correct, it is a similar skill. However this landing adds two major risk factors over a usual dolly landing: close proximity to a dynamic rollover point (the sides) and close proximity to a high obstacle near the main rotor blades (the neck of the 5th wheel. I prefer a shorter trailer w/out the gooseneck and with folding sides.
very good but if something goes wrong , it's direct accident, the trailer have square pipes on hitch side, hope you not have an accident in the future, i do the same in my gooseneck in Belgium with my R22 too but on a flat bottom
When I was an Army aeroscout we landed our OH-58-A in a box no bigger than the craft's skids. We had too, to keep the enemy from throwing grenades and satchel charges under them. Been there, done that.
@pf126p actually that is a pretty risky maneuver, especially with those guard rails on the side; the skids could catch it and easily cause a crash.. require high skills and precision.
This is as allready stated not a unique talent as a helicopter pilot. I would on the other hand say that helicopter pilots are very skilled pilots in general. I'd say that the average helicopter pilot is way more talented than the average cessna pilot.
Not sure how this is "very talented" It's something that any helicopter pilot should be able to do. I do not fly choppers (ASEL only), but at the field I am at, helicopters always land on a small wooden platform, that can be towed into a hangar. I see it few times a day. And with less maneuvering room than this.
This is standard procedure! Well, not necessarily on a truck, but landing on small rollable platforms isn't any different! I've done this a thousand times (well, 755 times, to be exact, LOL) out of more than 10.000 landings.
because he has some forward airspeed/momentum for stability it makes his life a lot easier. More difficult is coming into an out of ground effect hover above the trailer & trying to descend vertically straight down onto the spot you want your skids to rest. He's smooth for sure, but most pilots with 1000hrs plus should be ok doing this if they are current in the R22
damn i hate when people say helicopters are easy to fly
try it for yourself they wont fly them selves like fixed winged planes you have a joystick and you have pedals you cant just sit back you have to be on high alert at all times otherwise ur fucked
ok, I dont get it. What is so amazing? that he can land a helicopter where he says he will?
I am in training for my CPL-H right now, I have around 10hours flghttime and I can with confidence that I would be able to do that now 9 times out of 10 in low winds. And I cant even call my self a pilot for another 125 flighthours.
Where I live, they use mostly helicopters for spraying crops. These guys land on the back of a semi trailer between a fuel tank and a pesticide tank like nothing, get filled up and off they go,,,, they do this all day long for weeks at a time.
I agree that all heli pilots should be able to do this with ease. But I also agree with the title, you have to be talented in the first place to get to this level. Thanks for sharing ..

@InformityAffect The blades are hardly spinning due to the shutter effect of the camera, it cant keep up with the speed that the blades are rotating. thats why the blades on helicopters always look to be going slowly or not moving at all.

@pf126p I was thinking the same thing. Walking the rotary wing around the runway is part of your testing if you can't do that you have no business in one.
@raendril008 You're absolutely right. I know nothing at all about flying helicopters or landing in a tight place therefore I am a dipshit of the highest order. I'm guessing you do know a thing or two? What helicopter experience have you got tucked under your belt?
Dont bother hauling the craft on to the trailer, let me just land there and we will kill 2 birds with one stone. We can get this done with and go out for some beers.
I have seen helicopters land on trailers/dollies before, I have seen helicopters transported by 5th wheels before, but I don't think I have ever seen a helicopter actually land on a 5th wheel before. That is just nuts. Considering how much helicopters are worth and the amount of damage a rotor strike can do to the helicopter, I would still drag my helicopter onto the trailer no matter how skilled I am. There is a BIG difference between a 5th wheel and a bumper pull as far as height.
Wow hes so talented, MY dads a heli pilot and has to do that every day when he flys. He lands a jetranger on a dolly smaller then that!!! HARD TO DO THOUGH
Im not, im just telling you what he does, i diddnt say that wasnt hard, thats hard too do, trying to get the skids lined up on the trailer and landing.
The aircraft is not travelling sideways at any point. You approach at 90deg to the trailer and 315deg from the wind. If it's done properly power failure isn't an issue, you can either drop it on using the torque of the engine decay to assist in the final ninety (right pedal) turn to the bed, or hoick it back and slightly run on aft. Rooftop landings in the fog were tricky until synthetic vision came along.
I have never sat in one, ughh Id catch pneumonia or summat awful. Sorry they don't ring true. I've softened tho' , if you enjoy them that's cool. And by ref makes iron heavy. I last flew a EC145 p2....plastic, fibre optic controls, composite blades, went up like a lift :))
No I didn't know that, thanks! I'm still not convinced tho' ( Rotorway Scorpion, Mini 500 both far smaller and with the standard layout ), It just boils down to my dislike of the weakening of the genepool ..
The cyclic is the stick between the knees held with the right hand that controls the rotor disc 'tilt' ( the 'steering' ). In 'traditional' helis it's between the knees . On Robinsons however they have decided to kick tradition in the teeth and created the most sacriligeous of appendages that dangles from the ceiling with a wierd and 'spastic' mechanism that allows both pilots to fly off one 'stick'.
so, you know they did that so the cyclic could have more cyclic movement right? If you ever have flown a Robinson i think you could see that having the cyclic between your legs wouldn't provide much movement in the small craft. 35yrs and you are still a jackass? that sucks.
You've never even sat in a Robinson have you? There is nothing dangling from the ceiling. The design is untraditional, but they did it for 3 reasons.. mechanical advantage, decrease in weight, & much easier to get in and out and more leg room.
what a fool, obviously never been in a 22, any pilot knows that if hover taxiing like this pilot is its safets to do it with skids in line of travel, side approach is the comment of an idiot who flys their sim at home and calls it flying. also he will be IGE here so now worries re power. In your sim what happens when you fly side ways and have power failure??? in life you crash and roll or hit trailer!!! fooooooollllll!
Not very clever...pilot spends too much time doing it...that's asking for trouble. Tail rotor or engine failure, gust of wind etc. I would advise approaching from the side, quickly over the bed and then right pedal 90deg into wind and down. 3secs in risk area + increased power reserve (right pedal use) He must have been faffing for 20 at least. But that's why he's got a robinson, ha, cos he's got NO idea. Anything with a cyclic like that is just plain stupid for christ's sake.
Theres a much higher risk factor due to no margin of error. Even slightly catching a skid can cause a helicopter to roll over due to the inertia of the rotors rotation. All thats needed is a pivot point, change in direction of force, and the wrong input or rolling motion. Good question!
At the airport I used to fly, we had platforms on wheels used to pull R-22s into hangar. They are just couple of inches wider then the skids span. My instructor was able to land on them almost instantly. They didn't let students to do it though. We had to land far away from any obstructions. :)
We see that quite often every summer when they are spraying crops. They move the truck, trailer and large tanks of insectiside to where they are spraying instead of flying the chopper to the airport (or where ever) to refill.
So, is there a better way to load the chopper?
