If i ever fly for any medical groups or hospitals I'll land where ever i see fit OR ill watch what the hell im doin. The pilot couldve easily lifted off slow left pedal turn move slowly into the field then increased power and lifted off... smh.
@BoredomKills25 Agreed. There is another version of this video with similar comments thinking it was a dumb place to land. It wasn't dumb, just dumb that the pilot didn't adjust for the conditions. A smart pilot with his head in the game could have managed this landing spot.
@prohelifaker Listen people, this kid proheli is a liar. One of his post blw says "And helicopters never change rotor RPM , they change rotor pitch. You do not speed up a rotor to go up and slow it to come down, you change pitch. Pilot since 1992 prohelipilot1 1 month ago" So he's been flying for 19 Years, but his profile says he's 31, and his "utubefriends" are high school? He really started flying when he was 12???
@naru004 Right...some pilots "could" be medics...NONE act as medics ON scene, in flight, at the hospital, or anywise anytime else during their shift as a pilot. Just like why a doctor isn't a lawn boy even though he may mow his own yard. You were implying that pilots act as medics during the mission, and YOU KNOW IT.
@naru004 You would be entirely wrong that USAF pararescue know how to fly. They areNOT even allowed to fly up front. You don't know what your talking about.
Nice job to the pilot! As for "why" he didn't just land in the field to begin with, he was probably following orders from the cop in charge on the ground when he was landing. "Yeah buddy, you've got PLENTY of room! Set it down here!" Because, the cop on the ground was probably too lazy to CARRY the patient across the ditch, over the fence and into the back of the helicopter. Wouldn't put down his doughnut?
@Patriot042 its a canal... its so much easier for the heli to just land there obviously why kill yourself trying to drag someone in and out of a ditch.... their trained professionals. i THINK they might know what their doing
@jordaannn91 Oh, you mean like taking the risk of hitting the power lines? GOOD CALL! Looks like they succeeded? They could've used an ambulance to transport the injured to a close landing and take-off pad and NOT risked hitting the power lines. Once again, common sense played an important role here, didn't it? YYYYYYEP! :-P~
@Patriot042 I'm a former cop, and a helicopter pilot. Doughnut? Really? Easy my friend! The police usually set up scene security for a helicopter, but rarely decide the landing spot, although it can be different for each jurisdiction. Ultimately the pilot is responsible for his or her ship no matter what. The pilot could have overridden the recommended landing spot and chosen the field. But any smart pilot with their head in the game could have managed this spot better.

@natsnovak I don't think it was a relocation, I think it was an emergency landing on the spot, you can hear the rotors are unblanced after hitting the powerline, there must have been an alarm on the flight pannel. I work for the EHS provider that contracts out this helicopter company that does all medivacs in BC - these guys are really good pilots but I'm surprised by this video.
I see an S-76 in the video, Rotor rpm is 294- 317, You do know that the rotor RPM remains constant and does NOT slow down as the aircraft is landing like in the movies.?
@prohelipilot1 you do know that the gas producer RPM slows down and speeds up in relation to demand from the collective don't you? You still won't acknowledge that you don't know what a 1 to 1 vibration sounds or feels like.
@stetson6 And what is the gas producer RPM in the typical midsized helicopter engine you dumb shit your googleing stuff and then coming on here to prove your the dumbest asshole on youtube
I'm a sixteen year old female YouTuber that is an expert pilot and I have important news for all of you "n00bs" on here...this guy hit the powerlines...and landed safely.
@JonTheChron well you're a pretty lousy electrician because you should know the lower cables are low-voltage and the higher ones are high voltage and look at the ground at 24 seconds you can see the sparks.
@MrElectrodesign what are you talking about?? the lower ones are telecommunication wires, at least here in Canada where I live (and where this video was shot). The higher lines are simply 13800v connected to a step-down 120v transformer.. Maybe in Australia the kangaroos that wrote the code books decided to have low voltage power lines at a lower level..
what a horrible place to land a helicopter they should have transported the PT to a open field some where and have the helicopter land there not right by telephone wires
passing on some information . . . The wire the helicopter clipped was the low voltage telecommunication trunk line. ( that's why we didn't witness the sparks 'n arc's show you usually see when a 10k line gets clipped . . ) I'm not saying that this information super-seeds the title of this upload, just wanted to pass on information to those that may have been curious, why the "sparks" didn't happen. All of you stating "no-way for a LZ" . THUMBS UP ! ! ! !
First off, that pilot should have NEVER landed that helicopter there in the first place. It's also pretty obvious that no one on the ground has had any landing zone training because those power lines were way too close to the LZ. The field they landed in after hitting the power line is where they SHOULD have landed in the first place! Lucky the blade didn't disintegrate and make a bad situation a deadly one.
@kawasakikx250ff I've put more patients on helicopters than I can count over the years. We've carried them over ditches, up hills, over uneven terrain, etc. Even if that field wasn't available, they should have chosen another site and transported them by ambulance to that site and loaded from there. But ultimately, the responsibility lies with the pilot. He or she should have known that was way too tight of a place for an LZ.
I can't imagine why the pilot landed there, there's obviously not enough clearance. We would never set up an LZ next to lines like that either. A helicopter of that size requires a 100'x100' space to land, clearly this site does not meet those requirements.
Around here, that would have been the phone lines, tv cable line and the ground line for the power. Hot lines at the top of pole, ground line way down low. Either way, the pilot is an idiot. But then, most medical corporation helicopter pilots are idiots. Go to the FAA and NTSB sites and check how often they crash. It's shocking.
@PORSHA993 These pilots are anything BUT idiots. Not only is it a feat to pilot one of these helicopters, to be chosen for the position of a medevac is simply astonishing. It's not like they hire drunks off of the street.
And with regards to the frequency of crashes and incidents of medevacs, why don't you try waking up at 3am, scrambling to your helicopter, flying to a site before a victim dies, and then trying to find a suitable spot to land among power lines, trees, etc. without any incident.
Its shocking 2 u because u don't know how 2 comprehend the information ur reading. ur still more likely to kill yourself driving in your 911. It's just that medical helis make the news. Whether or not ur a pilot, ur an idiot for believing that shit. Below average performers are in every industry. Y they even let doctors that pass at the bottom of their class work on patients too. u check the NTSB; the accident rates are no higher for any other RW flying or GA FW flying. LZ was too tight...
@stetson6 I have checked the NTSB & FAA and I've read dozens of crash reports. I made that clear in my post but then again, your poor spelling and grasp of English indicates you probably can't read or comprehend what you read. "Chosen for the position of medivac"? You write that as though it's an honor. They are just schmucks doing a job. A job they're paid well for. They aren't saving lives. They're just operating a helicopter, a job any trained monkey can do. EMTs, Rns & Drs save lives.
@PORSHA993 My grasp of English is just fine, and you understood everything I said even though I used texting syntax to save space iinside of the 500 character limit dumbass.
@PORSHA993 Yes, you're right. Pilots don't save lives. Good luck getting a trained monkey to fly without crashing. Oh wait, what is your position? If anyone can do it and its so easy, why do we have any accidents? Why do we have traffic accidents for that matter? Why do medical folks get MALPRACTICE insurance??? Because they have accidents too. We pilots see you guys making them in the ER all the time. You're so stupid, you just have an axe to grind.
@PORSHA993 You haven't checked the NTSB well enough...Like I said, YOU, PORSHA993 can not comprehend the information you are reading....Any comparative information has to be filtered and compiled for you to make any kind of assessment as to how many accidents are too many for an industry, and therefore come to any conclusion as to the quality of pilots in that industry.
@PORSHA993 Well paid, my ass. Unless you think 50K a year is well paid, in which case, you're the schmuck. The one that can't even afford the most ragged out, trashed and thrashed 993 with the salvage title.
@PORSHA993 Saving lives... All I do is break the surly bonds of earth with the most minimum of preflight information that is inevitably incorrect, fly to a destination at low altitude with 2 selfloading baggages that won't shut the fuck up with drama and gossip and constantly distract me, and land in someplace that some DUMBASS noncollege grad EMT has assured me is the safest place to land a helicopter, when he's lucky to be able to identify a helicopter 2/3 times. And never make a mistake.
@stetson6 Wow, you're a real hero. Hopefully you never need a "dumbass noncollege grad EMT" to save your life, hey? Sheesh. Feeling a little unappreciated? What got up your ass?
@Projectdie If you are a lowly (BLS) EMT that tries to land helos in fucked up LZs like the one above, that's probably all you CAN do is watch and laugh, because that's about the limit of your skills anyways. I'll take my chances on someone who's actually gone to school thank you very much. For that matter, "hope you bleed painfully" too as I turn down the flight for weather when your family lies splattered on the road. But we both know that would be unprofessional to say and do.
@Projectdie BTW, no offense was meant to you unless the shoe fits what your wearing. When you "C" your way into an A and B conversation, you gotta expect some collateral damage when people are trying to make sarcastic points.
@stetson6 Last time I checked you did have to go to school for EMT. I don't really care about the flight conversation. My hospital dosent staff the pilots anyway just the crew. But I have no interest in a Medic or RN talking down to me as an EMT-I in a tone as if I am an underling. Takes the whole team to make the team.
@Projectdie My program doesn't hire "unskilled" flight medics. All of ours are very good, proficient, professional, and, ahem, college trained. Im refering to the VFDs, EMAs, local LEOs, and whatnot that "set" up the LZs when we get there.
@PORSHA993 Heres an idea 4 you. Race ur car through rush hour traffic with 2 whiny and hungry toddlers, in a town you're unfamiliar with, at night. Dial and talk on your cell phone every 5 minutes. Turn your headlights off and rely on your dark adapted eyes. Have a streetbum wave you through a redlighted intersection. Hire 2000 people to do this with you, and not have any of them make a mistake, or else some youtube asshole that likes porshes will call all of them that didn't eff up, idiots
I don't think they installed those lines while he was loading the patient. He will probably charge them anyway. Pilot was overheard saying; " When we get airborne, it's considered a flight, no matter how far we go" "I'll have to charge you" "For safety we always round up flight time, so that was technically a 1 hour flight".
the more i listen to it, it might be the correct sound, maybe the blade was split length-wise and it was slapping around, but then again, im not totally sure, guess we'll never know. btw...that bird should've never been in that confined area, if i was the pilot i would've landed in a field down the street from the scene and made them assholes load the patient in the ambulance and transport them to the new LZ. fire department should've had a pre selected LZ in the area to land at...just sayin.
No, it doesn't sound like anything was done to the original audio track. If you're missing more than a few inches off of one rotor blade, then you're bound to get an alternating vibration distinct enough to hear with the human ear.
What amazes me is that it WASN'T enough to cause the entire rotor assembly to tear itself apart within seconds. Not only were they damn lucky to get down in once piece, but it didn't blow up in their faces literally.
@EVAUnit4A that is total sound effects, It is also the sound of a different type of rotor system. And helicopters never change rotor RPM , they change rotor pitch. You do not speed up a rotor to go up and slow it to come down, you change pitch. Pilot since 1992
I never said the SPEED of the engine or rotation rate of the rotor changed as a result of the clipping.
But lemme put it this way: piano strings make different pitches because of their length. Now, one rotor blade is shorter than the others, so it will make a distinctly different sound from the others, and that has nothing to do with engine power or rotation speed.
@EVAUnit4A The sound you here after the wire contact is that of a 2 blade semi-rigid rotor system. the sound has definetely been added. And I was just explaining the rotor system, not accusing you !
So then... you're not saying that what I'm proposing is not true, but rather than the audio of this video has been supplanted by sounds from somewhere else?
@prohelipilot1 Cmon mister propilot..in all those years you say you have, youve never had a plastic bag caught by rotor blade, or a piece of abrasion/deice boot come off and hear the rotor noise change, to, um something almost exactly like that? EVAunit speaks truth. The sound you hear is not of a semirigid perse; you are hearing a "one to one" at about 300 RPM. All helicopters run at about that RPM no matter the number of blades.
@stetson6 Kid please go back to school, let me guess you picked up a book, read the first 10 pages. You are wrong about the sound. And that comment about all rotors turning about 300 rpm, is a quote from a " so you want to fly helicopters " book and is pretty inaccurate The bigger choppers do turn that but the smaller ones turn faster. Educate yourself before commenting
@prohelipilot1 Quote from what book? LOL. Never heard of it. What's the speed of everything you've flown? Mine range from 327 to 293 RPM. Smaller ones turn faster than larger but guess what the limit is determined by if you even know. ALL are in the 300 range. Now you're gonna argue that 301 isn't in the 300 range? You need to educate yourself. Obviously you've never had a flaw on a rotorblade that gives you that exact whistle that you think is wrong. Chief Pilot on S76 here.
@stetson6 You aint chief pilot on shit, Your chief bullshitter though. MD500E rotor rpm 475, S300 C rotor rpm 471, You are one full of shit asshole who has never flown anything. And I like how I prove you wrong and you block me. Your an idiot as well as a loser
@prohelipilot1 congratulations, you've flown 2 helicopters in the two years you've been flying. Why don't you hit the books and learn some more before you get old enough to buy some beer.
@prohelipilot1 Very good. Agreed on the MD500 and TH55 rotor rpm. Two of the smallest rotor diameters in the world, and still not an order of magnitude different than the low 300s. Which means a 1:1 noise would sound virtually the same compared to an engine or T/R malfunction. Dumbass Canuck.
@stetson6 Look it up you stupid kid, Bell 212, 430, 429, 407, and how can you say 471 rpm is close to 300 rpm. Your a fuckin xbox and a stupid one at that, Youve never even been near a real helicopter.
@prohelipilot1 It is close dumbass...go to school and learn what an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE means. Then look up the physics of SOUND AND DECIBELS AND FREQUENCY discernment in the human ear.
@prohelipilot1 Son, you got owned by EVAunit4a, owned by me, you can't answer any aeronautical knowledge questions that would prove that you have any experience, which you don't.
@prohelipilot1 Do this if they ever let you around a helicopter. Put a piece of duct tape on the edge of one RB and make sure one edge of the tape is roughed up. Do a ground run. Take the wax out of your ears and have a listen. Get back to us here so you can be humiliated
@prohelipilot1 I can't believe you call yourself a mechanic and don't know what RPM's MRB's turn at; and can't hear a 1:1 whistle from an aerodynamically damaged blade.
@prohelipilot1 Why don't you grow some hair on your nuts, learn some helicopter systems and aerodynamics instead of chasing pussy, and come back in 20 years when you have some experience.

That was one pilot who didnt knew his surronding bad call, i would NEVER had landed on the road it was way to tight i would had landed on the field and none of this would have happened.

I work for the EHS provider that contracts out this helicopter company that does all medivacs in BC - these guys are really good pilots but I'm surprised by this video.

It was just the cable and/or phone lines that low. If it were power lines, it would be a whole different story.

First off, that pilot should have NEVER landed that helicopter there in the first place. It's also pretty obvious that no one on the ground has had any landing zone training because those power lines were way too close to the LZ. The field they landed in after hitting the power line is where they SHOULD have landed in the first place! Lucky the blade didn't disintegrate and make a bad situation a deadly one.

@greg3564 yeah that would have been a good place to land but did you see the deep ditch they would not be able to get the PT over to the other side
kawasakikx250ff 3 months ago
@kawasakikx250ff I've put more patients on helicopters than I can count over the years. We've carried them over ditches, up hills, over uneven terrain, etc. Even if that field wasn't available, they should have chosen another site and transported them by ambulance to that site and loaded from there. But ultimately, the responsibility lies with the pilot. He or she should have known that was way too tight of a place for an LZ.
greg3564 3 months ago 2
He should had made a vertical takeoff and then when all spots were cleared, left pedal turn, this was totally the pilots fault.
Rodrigo2838 4 months ago
I can't imagine why the pilot landed there, there's obviously not enough clearance. We would never set up an LZ next to lines like that either. A helicopter of that size requires a 100'x100' space to land, clearly this site does not meet those requirements.

And with regards to the frequency of crashes and incidents of medevacs, why don't you try waking up at 3am, scrambling to your helicopter, flying to a site before a victim dies, and then trying to find a suitable spot to land among power lines, trees, etc. without any incident.

@prohelipilot1
No, it doesn't sound like anything was done to the original audio track. If you're missing more than a few inches off of one rotor blade, then you're bound to get an alternating vibration distinct enough to hear with the human ear.
What amazes me is that it WASN'T enough to cause the entire rotor assembly to tear itself apart within seconds. Not only were they damn lucky to get down in once piece, but it didn't blow up in their faces literally.
EVAUnit4A 4 months ago
@EVAUnit4A that is total sound effects, It is also the sound of a different type of rotor system. And helicopters never change rotor RPM , they change rotor pitch. You do not speed up a rotor to go up and slow it to come down, you change pitch. Pilot since 1992
prohelipilot1 4 months ago
@prohelipilot1
I never said the SPEED of the engine or rotation rate of the rotor changed as a result of the clipping.
But lemme put it this way: piano strings make different pitches because of their length. Now, one rotor blade is shorter than the others, so it will make a distinctly different sound from the others, and that has nothing to do with engine power or rotation speed.
EVAUnit4A 4 months ago
@EVAUnit4A The sound you here after the wire contact is that of a 2 blade semi-rigid rotor system. the sound has definetely been added. And I was just explaining the rotor system, not accusing you !

@prohelipilot1 Cmon mister propilot..in all those years you say you have, youve never had a plastic bag caught by rotor blade, or a piece of abrasion/deice boot come off and hear the rotor noise change, to, um something almost exactly like that? EVAunit speaks truth. The sound you hear is not of a semirigid perse; you are hearing a "one to one" at about 300 RPM. All helicopters run at about that RPM no matter the number of blades.
stetson6 3 months ago
@stetson6 Kid please go back to school, let me guess you picked up a book, read the first 10 pages. You are wrong about the sound. And that comment about all rotors turning about 300 rpm, is a quote from a " so you want to fly helicopters " book and is pretty inaccurate The bigger choppers do turn that but the smaller ones turn faster. Educate yourself before commenting
prohelipilot1 3 months ago
@prohelipilot1 Quote from what book? LOL. Never heard of it. What's the speed of everything you've flown? Mine range from 327 to 293 RPM. Smaller ones turn faster than larger but guess what the limit is determined by if you even know. ALL are in the 300 range. Now you're gonna argue that 301 isn't in the 300 range? You need to educate yourself. Obviously you've never had a flaw on a rotorblade that gives you that exact whistle that you think is wrong. Chief Pilot on S76 here.
