That's an interesting one. Thanks for sharing. I'm curious why they can't account for the hours flown. The article indicates that they don't have data on past hours flown so they can't speculate whether or not the increase in accidents has anything to do with an increased number of hours flown...

Where is the data tag located on a UH-1H helicopter. Is their any other location the serial number might be on the helicopter other than on the data tag.

The co-pilot is responsible for the throttle. During takeoff and landings his hands are on it at all times. Fly an A-Star, other then the B3 version, the throttle is not on the collective. On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 16:18:39 GMT, "Steve R." wrote: Really?? Why in the...

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...

Flew at 10am yesterday and damned if I didn't fly like I knew what the hell I was doing... I'd been eyeballing the weather since I woke up at 6 and DUATS said it'd be relatively clear until the early evening so I hopped on the bike and headed to work - wanted to squeeze in a couple hours before...

I recall hearing mention of something like this before. While doing a simulation, probably moving backwards, the helicopter tale began swaying back and forth uncontrollably. Is that the way it is in real life? How do you get out of that? Avoid moving backwards? Besides trying to tilt the chopper...

Hi, I am wondering what the consequences of a broken rotating pitch link of a = 4-bladed rotor will be. From my understanding, the free-to-pitch blade will eventually come to a high angle of attack that the airloads will crush its structure and if not the debris will destroy the other rotor...

About 18 months ago there was a couple week period with many shark sightings off the Southern Califonia coast. During this time I was flying a helicopter south along the Coast line just North of Santa Barbara. I was on the lee side of the coastal mountain range, which at this time was an off shore...

Does anyone have a reccommendation where to get an annual and prepurchase inspection for a Bell 47 in Southern New Jersey

Helicopter headsets David Clark 10-37 2 pair with brand new Oregon Aero ear seals. One set is perfect but the other set got more use and the cord is frayed at the plug end which is a cheap fix. $200 for both sets. If I have to break them up I'll take $150 and $100 that should cover the cost of the...

I am looking for someone who has used the Flight Link hardware with either X-Plane or MSFS 2004 (R-22 simulation) and whether or not they would recommend it for a prospective heli pilot.

Some of us are still here. I am planning the largest gathering of rotorcraft enthusiasts to ever assemble in the Chicago area. I want to host an FAA sponsored rotorcraft super safety seminar and introduction to rotorcraft. The event is planned for this summer at the Lansing Municipal airport, in...
