before my new 505 was delivered last week i spent hours watching your videos. mine is a 2024 ihad only flown jet rangers and that was years ago, when mine arrive last week i was a head of the bell instructor on the displays and startup. thank you, when i finally swaw it i was impressed mine is a bright blue. wow. what a machine. my instructor has been here for 4 days now and im keeping him for the full 2 weeks. do not car eif he says im good to go, i want hime around till i feel confident. but? damn thing makes you look better than what you are.what a easy to fly whopper thingy. startup is simple. compared to the old jet ranger and the auto pilot? wow. that is a cool thing. never had one in a whopper before. so now im doing some gold leaf stripping on her. not a lot just enough to breakup all that blue. told the wife.... she is in competition with the new bird.she said figures lol . i named mine gertrude lol i have no idea why. might even put some x'd out Russian fighter jets on the door lol i out of all the planes i opwn this is b y far the best of the bunch, so now im selling my fixed wing planes. it is more convenient to use the helicopter. take it to walmart go shopping. i live in the mtns in northern central washington. i will not fly anything else. ever
I learned how to fly on the Bell 206 (TH-67) in the U.S. Army. Our helicopters were new back then, but they were analog. I still remember learning to do my cross check of the instrument panel. I was a bit intimidated by the new glass cockpits. But after watching this excellent presentation, it seems much less daunting.
Very interesting. Question, if both screens go down, what do you do about com and nav freqs? Well, com not so much worried about nav in a vfr bird. I have never flown a glass cockpit so please forgive me if its a dumb question. Thank you.
We are looking at a used 2018 - Bell 505 - What is your opinion of upgrading to the new G1000H Nxi screen? Hear it may be available in the 3rd quarter of 2020

Wonderfull your videos👌
Hi, can you also provide a capability demo for the optional 3 axis FCS of the 505. Thanks
Just realised looking at the map, but you're at my local airport. That closed in 2014 though?
