MD 500 Training

A small camera mounted in the helicopter while I was doing maneuvers to get more used to the MD500. We did some confined space landings, hover autos and approaches.

Everything slow and easy..

Great job on the video. This has to be some of the best shot as well as positioned video I've seen on YT.

Who is the trainer? I'm intrigued as to the depth he seems to go as many helo trainers are the generic type, to say the least.

Again---Nice job!!!

@marxg4 thanks.... My instructor always challenges me and allows me to make all the decisions based for the maneuvers....

I am not a pilot, just a "helicopter enthusiast" - but I am puzzled by the way your artificial horizon reads during this video. It seems that usually u r tilted to the right (and that I can understand I think, mast is often tilted to the left if I remember right from some books), but you always seem to be in a slight nose down altitude - even when I'd be expecting that u give a slight back cyclic... Am I reading something wrong, or is there a reason for that?

@gtokarsk We just never set that artificial horizon before we took off...

[maydayfire]

what is that button that the pilot presses with his thumb once a while? is it trim reset or something like that?

Great video! Probably the best I've seen on YouTube. Nice flying! How long have you been flying helicopters? I just got my commercial helicopter rating August 2nd! I've flown Schweizer 300C's, Enstrom F-28A's, Bell 47's, OH-58C Kiowa, Robinson R-22. I'd love to fly a Hughes/MD 500. Very nice video position... You can see everything so well. Stick, pedal movements and the instruments. It looks like you have a top notch instructor. Where is this? Thanks for posting!

how do you afford to do stuff like this? especially an MD 500?

I struggle to make 1 flight every 2 weeks in a 300 CBI.

I can feel my dreams of flying around for the next 20 or so year slipping away. IF costs continue to slide up, I will be ejected from flight.
