How to take control of a helicopter in the case of engine or pilot failure.
If a pilot is incapable of taking control, remember that there is only a two second window in which to assume control. There is no time to move him from his seat. International Air Distress is always 121.5 Ghz.

  • controls the speed of the rail rotor... nothing more to say to this video

  • As an experienced army aviator I would recommend performing what was known as the inverted/inserted cyclic manuever... The steps are to climb on the seat, turn around. sit on the cyclic... It won't save you but it will cause the crash investigation team to wonder WTH was going on in the cockpit because you sure as heck aren't going take control of the aircraft and fly, much less land it!

  • What did that clown say......I tried it and no matter how hard I pushed the anti-torque pedals, I could not get my tail rotor to speed up. What am I doing wrong?

  • yes, because a self induced autorotation can be done by anyone with no flight experience in a rotorcraft jaja..en serio, amiguitos, no lo hagas :)

  • hmm..helicopter pilots getting knocked out. i have been flying the Bell 206 for six years and never once felt light headed ;)

  • Ahhh....I think your frequency as the international Air Distress is wrong. It's NOT 121.5 GHz. The capital G stands for Giga. Air frequencies are not in the microwave realm. It should be 121.5MHz. M stands for Mega. Please correct your info.

  • Somebody needs a flying lesson...

  • I did it several times and it worked after watching this vid. Okay, I had to knockout the pilot, but then it worked. Greetings from the hospital.

  • @futurehelipilot, including you.

  • I'd grab that stick in the middle and pull as hard as I could until it came out. Then I'd throw it out the window and laugh :0

  • that is 121.5 Mhz! otherwise you need a microwave dish!!!

  • Thanks for talkin' out your ass.
