Engine Out Operation by Charles Talleyrand
I'm curious. Can a Blackhawk, Chinook, or other large military helicopter hover with one engine out? What is the procedure for one- engine-out operations for large helicopters? I assume no one auto rotates a 30,000 lbs helicopter??? The obvious internet searches didn't help. -Much...

I have, up until now, always pulled...

Dumb Question by JohnO
When designing rotor systems, you have to keep the tip speed subsonic to prevent all sorts of problems and losses that would otherwise occur at the sound barrier, right? What about large turbofan engines such as on modern airliners? The fan tips must be travelling at many orders of magnitude...

balancing act by Stuart & Kathryn Fields
Here's one for the pros: I was balancing my tail rotor and had it down to 0.27 ips and still had just a touch too much weight where I had added it. So still needing to safety wire a bolt that is located in the center of the tail rotor output shaft, I chose to safety it to a hole 180 degrees from...

Death? by Ol Shy & Bashful
Looking at 14 days without activity on this forum. Will that qualify as dead? I think so. I'll be spending my time over on Just Helicopters from now on and delete this forum from my favorites. Rocky

Speaking of POP OUT FLOATS by SHIVER ME TIMBERS
How many of you saw the shots on TV last night of the helicopter upside down in the water... in NYC. Looks like the floats at least kept the machine at the water's surface as apposed to the machine sinking. But as a lurker who only saw one shot of the machine.... what do I know. Where's Micbloo...

7th flight - 7.9 hours in.. Too fun! by JIM105
Rule number one. ALWAYS bring your CFI a snack and a drink when you show up. It's a lot like feeding the animals at the zoo, they still might growl at you, but they probably won't eat you for dinner. Jim

All smoke no fire by Bart
With all the heated debate over trival issues that I've seen in this newsgroup, I have to say I'm really disappointed with what I'm seeing as response to a real issue that affects the value of operating a helicopter in the US. Maybe you guys don't understand the impact of the proposed rule...

TRUTH OF THE MINI-500 TURBINE CONVERSION by Dennis Chitwood
I've just read, with great dismay and disbelief, information which Rick Stitt and his partner, Andreas, wrote with regards to me.

OH-58 for Civilian use by pp
Can anyone speak to the problems and challenges that I might encounter in purchasing a OH-58A+ . I plan on using it for primarily for turbine training but was wondering if there were any income producing activities that could be done under the restricted designation. Thanks Peter
