Recommendations please..I have finally moved forward and am going to make an attempt to get my instrument ticket. I have contacted HAI in Florida but they are backed up for several months. I don't mind going out of state. I want to go - get it done and then come home. HAI did seem more structured -...

Hey Bill! Are you still playing with that 500? Regards, Bryan

What is involved in purchasing a helicopter that is registered in Canada and re regestering it in the US? This is what got me asking: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2482209464&indexURL=1#ebayphotohosting Joe

What is the angle of the blade at the tip of a UH-1 in Autorotation. Is this angle somewhat the same for most Helicopters?

Which of the SAN area airports are you flying out of? I've operated out of all of them and even a few that are no longer in existence. Some that very few even remember! Like Peaks Airport very near where Cudahy Slough is in Mission Bay, or down in Chula Vista...and I think you can still see one of...

Anyone know where I can get the Aux power cannon plug (J217) for a Jetranger / OH58? Its a male two pin cylindrical job that plugs in at the base of pedestal on the copilots side and is intended to provide power to a Chadwick or aux radio. TIA, Bart

Hi, THIS IS TOP URGENT!.. I have a movie with a helicopter accident. The helicopter crew claims that the reason of the accident was a damage on the tail rotor blade. My brother was a copilot in crew of that helicopter and I don't have any reasons to don't believe him and his colleagues. But...

Can someone provide the tailrotor RPM of the R22? Main rotor is 520rpm correct? Thanks, John

Hope all are having a pleasant day with food and family. My helo is currently at Superior Aviation Services Inc. at KDAL Love Field for its annual so no hovering fun this weekend for me. Sigh Go Cowboys Gaylon

Since the subject of night flying came up, I thought I'd toss out a little about night spraying with helicopters and airplanes. I've done both and prefer the helicopter. Both are OK when properly equipped but the airplanes move faster and take more time to cover a given field with their long...

Hot hot hot up here in Alberta. Lots of fires, lots of planes in the air. As the subject says.... 3 bell 206 helicopters have crashed within the past few days, and 2 pilots have been killed. Speculation has been made that high temps on the ground have made take off and flying difficult..... and...

Hi, we have a problem here. For a small R22 school we need a new CFI. The CFII we want, however, has only 202h in R22 (another 250h in small planes). Our Pathfinder endorsement requires 300h helicopter for CFIs to give instruction! Does anyone here know of a possibility to let this CFI get his...
