Bell 206 Jet Ranger Training Flight (1)

[PDSniper702]

I hope this isn't one of his private lessons.....VERY expensive 40 hours @700-800 an hour...not including instructor.

[pantirippa3]

it costs a lot for heli piloting school ? any one ?

[RedDevilPilot]

@pantirippa3, Anywhere from $45,000-$120,000 USD to go from nothing to a fully rated pilot. That might not include a turbine transition which is what this video is showing. I'm $30,000 dollars into it and I'm almost instrument rated.

On ne vois pas le decolage !!!!!

[artaza99]

Ahh no landing :(

[SuperRussianPower]

I fucking wanna be a helicopter pilot

[pappabagge]

100% instructor - a very pedagogical approach. Don't think much of the little model on the top of the instrument panel though - distracting.

[pmyoungtx]

Reminds me of how bad I was taking lessons in a helicopter.

I thought the little heli ornament was pretty sweet, too, so I went looking for it. :)

Do a Google on "solar wooden craft", and look for the site made in China. :)

[raymondrayban]

yea i want one for christmas!

[Powershotknecht]

sweet thelittle Heli on Panel!

[divisioneight]

Is that a little toy helicopter on the instrument pod? I would think that a bit of a distraction to someone trying to balance the cyclic, collective and the rudder pedals into balanced flight.

[canadianboy40]

It would be distracting if youre a moron, and are not capable of doing more than one thing at a time

[Back7sword]

Nice vid. Is it me or did that seem rather rushed? Were you cramming in some practice before your checkflight?

[dashingwhitesergeant]

I would far rather fly in a fixed-wing plane. I use to fly in helicopter to offshore oil rigs in north-sea. They're dangerous things.

[MrSneakyNicky]

piss off. rotory>fixed by a long mile

[salemcripple]

Whats the yellow thing ontop of the instrument panel?

[cmritchie04]

that is not the best economical way of getting your helicopter rating I would suggest purchase a Rotor way Scorpion helicopter along with four other people (that means you own 1/4 of the helicopter) and do flight instruction in that instead of wasting all of that money. Would you rather spend 50.00 an hour or $600.00 an hour in flight cost. Depending on the helicopter you rent.

[Spayne007]

yes that should be enough but you'll only have a sign off in a jet ranger and no real experience.

[hekikuu]

Nice lesson.. would have loved to hear the instructor's commentary though. About the instructions themself, the instructor sometimes reached to your stick, doesn't he/ she has his/ her own set of controls?

[mas8765]

Thanks are very interesting.

[sybietube]

well done m8!

[Mockeraina]

Yeah, I suggest going and getting a fixed wing license first, then going in and get ur Helicopter license. SO much more cheaper, its what I'm doing

[twcpilot]

how do you know that, flying a helicopter is copmplrtly diffrent, you have no idea how many hours you are going to spend.

Just a challenging questions, i am going to make a decison, what are your thoughts

[BA0084]

expensive hobby!

[nyshooter94]

how old do you have to be to get your license i want to get mine but im 15 now. and what would be a good paying job after. you get your licence.

[renatopeles]

What is that small helicopter over panel?

[pcmagazine]

stress relief for trainee

[allenc6665]

ah i remember my first flight the feel of the collective pitch in my hands lol

[notar1]

wow!!!

[charlesroth1]

You get 60+ hours in the 206 and get paid for it just go to the US Army flight school

[notar1]

how do they determine if you qualify for pilot before signing up

[Chino240sx]

First you need to qualify for OTS. If you already have some helicopter flying experience and have a degree, you'll be a step ahead for getting a pilot slot.

[notar1]

what is the age limit? i have pilot license. but never quite finished school...

[Chino240sx]

Well.. u can't really be an officer without a degree ... and only officers fly. The age limit i belive is 27, maby a little off for the army, im in the air force and thats the cut off age. There are waviers tho if ur damn good at flying

[Ksarle06]

are you talking about the U.S. Army?

[Chino240sx]

No, im talking about the Air Force, in the Army I belive Officers and Warrent Officers are allowed to fly.

[Ksarle06]

ya thats what i was going to say...You're right, In the Army you need to be a warrant officer or an officer to fly but you don't need a college degree to be a warrant officer

[scainiac]

Turbine training as far as I know runs about $1100 - $1200 dollars per hours and in Newfoundland you need 5 hours and if I'm not mistaken in other places you may need 10. A little bit costly to say the least!

[iweberdudei]

I bet Jetranger training cost a fortune ! Easy Finanacing or not, it still has to be paid for eventually lol
