Our pilot attempts to take more weight than he can handle with a "running" start. This is in Maui up on Haleakala. Building a hog and goat fence around the National Park. We were slinging supplies in for the weeks work.

  • He is an amazing pilot though! You wouldn't believe what this guy could do....never would do anything TOO risky with passengers either

  • OH...! you measure in KG..? I thought you meant it weighed 500 Lbs.

  • Wuz T.C. at the stick?

  • @maxhovid

    Not likely. the 500 is certified to lift well more than it actually can at max tq with an external load. Unlike some other helicopters... Still this does show improper planning and a pilot thats willing to operate without any margin for error.

  • your hopless at using a camera

  • 4000 more hops like that and he made it!

    He then tries to tow a broken down boat right after this...

  • @Leefouste Amazing stupid.

  • Did some-one forget to factor in the altitude when calculating their weights? or perhaps using the Australian method of weight computation... she'll be right mate..

  • @RacerXGTO hell, a Bell 206 would do it

  • Shouldnt you weigh it first........i mean ...your only risking the chopper and your life.!!!!!!
