Eurocopter AS 350 (HB-ZHO) start, landing and cockpit view in Switzerland (LSGC)

[HELISTRYKER]

Very bad takeoff.....poor pilot skill.

[Juanjomtzp]

haha I love the way your son smile when he saw the camera!!!!, awww he's adorable! :) btw nice flight and nice experience!!!!!

[mayantribe]

y is the pilot holding his heart

[pantirippa3]

flaying makes him horny look how he plays with his nipples

[helobelow]

@pantirippa3 LOL!

[pantirippa3]

flying makes him horny look how he playes with his nipples LOL.....

[crferrara]

Why was the pilot rubbing his boobies instead of holding the colective? I guess AS350 have autopilot's?

[Free07Style]

@crferrara actually, I found it a bit frightening and was hoping he doesn't make a heart attack...

[oohan101]

@Free07Style Thats exactly what i thought. It looked like his heart was playing up or something - hope he's alright and it was just an 'itch' or something...

[charlieechovictor]

@crferrara nope but you can let go of the collective whenever desired power setting is achieved, so no worries you set for example a certain "power" and then use cyclic to control attitude and climb...

It's all about power and attitude which results into a speed and a vertical speed.

[packin41]

@crferrara if the collective is preloaded, you can take your hand off and it wont move

[helobelow]

@crferrara That was kinda wierd...lol! It takes some effort to pull up the collective all day, perhaps he was getting sore. You can adjust the friction on a collective so it will remain in the same place, but he should still have been gaurding it and not rubbing his nips!

[natmor]

I am fairly sure the pilot would know what he is doing. he will be able to feel when the helicopter not working as it should or not performing at its best. I dont think he is learning to fly an r22

[OI8APC2]

I wouldn't put my family in any helicopter. They are dangerous.

[crferrara]

@OI8APC2 ARe you nuts? They are safer than you putting you're family inside your car and driving them to places? I love helicopters!

[OI8APC2]

@crferrara I don't know. I know airplanes are safer.  But you lose power in a chopper, your going down. Everyone talks about autorotation and what not. But in the end, if you lose engine or rotor power, your hitting the ground. At least an airplane can glide! To each his own though!

[alitmz]

@OI8APC2 Chopper's are safer in the event of engine failure you moron. Do your research..

[OI8APC2]

@alitmz No they are not retard.  Do YOUR research. Look at how many helicopters that attempt to land with no main rotor end up being destroyed. I understand the concept but in reality it just doesn't work as well as it does on paper. FACT.

[alitmz]

@OI8APC2 Try landing a airplane with engine(s) out in a confined space...good luck with that..let me know how it goes k pumpkin? You can land a rotorcraft pretty much anywhere, have fun gliding your pansy ass airplane with no where to land RETARD.

[magicmike1122]

@alitmz Id like to see your helicopters land in the Hudson :P

[helobelow]

@OI8APC2 Helicopters can glide too! How far depends on how high and how fast or slow you are going. There is excellent control in glide during an auto rotation and with a decent headwind you can sometimes set them down soft as a feather ;-)

[notar1]

great footage !!! great edtiting !!!

[AtomicProjects]

Thats they way they did it ...back in the Nam!

[AdvancedVisuals]

The pilot was banking excessively too close to the ground during the takeoff. Scarry!

[Free07Style]

Thanks for your comment. I assume they did the necessary checks when starting the event. They performed 5 minute flights during the whole day with passengers and just touched down to change the guests and take off for another short round trip...

[helobelow]

@Free07Style Yeh when your flying with out shutting down the engine you dont have to do a complete checklist. You scan your gauges and assure everything is in the green and start your departure. Great video! Thanks for sharing it!

[NZPilot]

Hmmm, three passengers in a DUAL front seat, no headsets for passengers ( great when it comes to informing them in an emergency), no checks in hover "lets just rip into it" and langing on top of ground crew....what a hero! I wouldnt put my family up with that pilot.

[constionsti]

yes... i see a lot of pilots, which performe no Hover Check... in our Company the HoverCheck is an obligation. But Landing so close to the Ground Crew is normal in Switzerland...

[magicmike1122]

The pilot is most likely an ex pilot from ww2 or something and he knows what he's doing. No headsets probably because you dont want kids freaking out if the engine failed, no one would even know that the engine even failed and if if was a serious emergency then how would headsets save your life in the first place? The heli was obviously already checked prior to flying and landing with the crew is how they do it in the air force, probably where he learned to fly. And everything worked out right?

[A7X172]

@NZPilot I would..
