Ya, I learned in the same thing. Even though the r22 can be scary at times, It really helps you later on, and builds your comfort zone for bigger ships. And I've done frost control work in a 22 in the past. Talk about scary as hell.
Best of luck on your PPL.

Yep I think you hit the nail on the head - comfort zone! It comes from having to learn in the R22, the ridiculous reaction times you need + the lack of rotor inertia due to the tiny blades don't always make for the most comfortable of experiences!
I'm only 16 but have been flying for almost a year know, slowly dragging out my PPL(H) in the UK until I turn 17 next January. Got about 23 hours now and went solo a couple of months ago.
I'd love to fly in the US and love to fly the EC120 even more!

I know what you're saying. I guess its just a comfort zone. Honestly, I feel more comfortable flying like that than when I do frost control of fly at 1000 ft over the heart of LA. I fly over the ocean on 1/4 of the flights I do right now. If I have an engine failure there, i know the ships a write-off. I will walk (or swim) away form it though. As far as when I was over LAX, there were quite a few good spots. It really just comes down to risk management.
And thanks again. The EC120 is amazing.

Fair enough, but its not just being outside the curve, its whats underneath you! I have no doubt you could have made a decent auto with decent rotor inertia but how far are you going to get? 500 feet forwards maximum?
It wouldn't be too great if you ended up landing on a jet, or a building, or on cars on the road, or in the sea!
I still gave you 5*'s though ;-), the EC 120 is the coolest chopper around!

Thanks. To be honest, i would rather have an engine failure during most of that than during a takeoff climb. The entire time (except during the initial transition through ETL on the LAX pad) I'm outside the shaded area of the curve. Not to mention the rotor system has considerable mass to it giving you plenty of time to make a safe landing.

amazing place to fly but wouldn't want an engine failure during any of that!
