Low Level Helicopter R44 Emergency Diversion tropical storm cockpit

** Fly with Tim at http://www.timgilbert.com ** R44 Helicopter flight: UK to Australia. Helicopter video by Tim Gilbert. Flying down the coast of Thailand in a tropical storm, we saw a really weird cloud ahead of us, ground to 1000ft, stretching miles out to sea, and surrounded by turbulence violent enough to crash our heads against the roof of the chopper's cockpit. So we made an emergency diversion to a small inland airfield called Trang, in the middle of a rubber plantation. Cancel flightplan via relay from a passing airliner.

@TinnInches Comfort breaks often impossible. Possible if ground below is safely landable, and not near anyone who might object. Not true in this video, as it was either jungle or rubber plantations or mangrove swamp or vertical rocky stuff. Often so hot that you sweat it all out anyway. Don't start off needing to go. Other than that, learn to fly with your legs crossed!

What were the winds like ahead of that storm? You must have experienced some turbulence? Any fear of LTE?

Fair play to you both! How long did it take?

[whalebarn]

@readyornot2198 It was pretty windy. Onshore, so it was turbulent when we were passing islands upwind of us as we followed the coast. You can see us being thrashed around a bit. Have never experienced LTE in an R44, (or any helicopter for that matter).

how did you record all this? im interested in getting something like this!

[whalebarn]

@22640cal I was using a standard DV camera on a magic arm in the cockpit. The hard bit is the sound.

Did someone say the left seat died later in a crash? Is this true? Any link to the crash report? I hope it isn't true. Please advise.

17 Thai military died in 1 week just gone in 3 different helicopters. Each attempting to rescue the previous crashes. The last was a Black Hawk in which there was 1 surviver. Mark Weir died in The Lake District, Cumbria, UK only a few months back. They really are not fit for flying in storms.
