Nice video! thanks for posting
Fabulous video! So envious, the 500 is truly my most favourite helicopter in the world, would love to have a fly in one some day
It will be well worth the wait! It’s great fun to fly
Thank you for another awesome 500E video! Can’t wait to get into the turbine.
Thanks for the feedback - we have some new content we are working on for next week
Hey Man I'm glad you are back in the MD500 because we both need to be current again
I have a tremendous desire to fly one of these every day of my life. I've been watching your videos for a while, but this one is truly my favorite. It's perfect for my visual vision board. =)
Thanks for the upload!
Thank you very much for the feedback- glad to hear it’s been useful for you - and if you have any other questions or requests for videos - I am happy to help!
The best Video stard up !
Thanks !
That was awesome! Great instructor.
Glad you enjoyed the ride!
A British helicopter named Gumby... I love it!
Great to see you Andrew back again Flying the MD-500 and its best that you do because the R-22 and the R-44 or the turbine models are to be sold and get another 500
Thank you for the support
excellent training video!!!
Thank you
I knew I was in the right place as soon as I saw the registration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for these videos!
Thank you
Please feel free to ask questions
@@ABHelicopters Yes, how much is the value of a flight hour?
The aircraft is hired out at around £850 per hour
@@ABHelicopters Thanks !
Very nice video
Thank you Rick!
Nice engine sound!
Thank you !
Good vid!
Thanks for the feedback
Tom. Stay positive.
I’ve Just Started Following You, But You Have a Really Nice 👍 MD-500E Helicopter 🚁😎🚁
Thanks for the feedback ! Please ask away if you have any questions
Great to be in the cockpit with you
Hi good nigth congrautlations,,, For the video amazing Helicopter,,,
I'll follow with atention how explain details of this great aircraft,,, greetings of your friend Oscar de Playa del Carmen Q. R. México,,,
Fantástic 👍
Glad you like it- thank you
I'm amazed how sensitive it is
Most people are- it’s very sensitive- only very slight movements required- thumb and forefinger!!!
When Gordon Ramsey is your Flight Instructor 👍
Ayos 💪🇵🇭
WOW!
Great video! The MD 500E seems like the perfect helicopter to learn on!
As light turbine helicopters go, this is one of the most simple and
manoeuvreable , though many people learn on piston powered helicopters first due to the reduced cost
@@ABHelicopters isnt the R44 piston powered? Its the one i am gonna get to learn in soon. Also seems simple control wise
@@WorivpuqloDMogh the r44 is piston, the r22 , r44 and Cabri G2 are common training helicopters, all have fairly simple control systems
@@ABHelicopters aah hence why i think this training is relatively cheap. Awesome. Opens op a lot of opportunities.
I am sure there is quite a speed difference when it comes to turbine helicopters?
@@WorivpuqloDMogh You might find the following video about the ppl of use- search :
‘How to be a helicopter pilot? Guide to the PPL’
As for the speed - it’s not quite as simple as turbine engine making the helicopter faster , but certainly turbine engines have a much better power to weight ratio, so the helicopters usually can go slightly quicker , but other aerodynamic factors , such as blade design, skids and airframe shape and size influence the top speed.
Did my first flight in the Jet Ranger yesterday. One step closer to flying this dream machine. Please make more autorotation/rundown videos. I’ve been told that she falls like a brick!
Congrats on your first flight in the 206- great heli ! Will do- your right - it doesn’t auto as far as a Huey , say , but If you have any experience in the HU269/ Schweitzer 300, then you won’t have any surprises!
Thanks man! And maintenance wise compared to a Jet Ranger? Same engine, but without the hydraulics. I assume it should be the same more or less?
Long term its slightly cheaper - and doesn’t have the 2 year replacement of the TT Straps

Www,d.bike.çom
Nice
Thank you Robert !
@@ABHelicopters I don't have any money yet but McDonald's Douglas just seems like a win-win deal
Could certainly choose a worse way to spend your money!!!
Nice tail # 8-)
Andrew I'm ready to take controls in the 500
I Followed a Helicopter 🚁 Pilot 👨✈️ Who Had a Really Nice 👍 HUGHES-500D N86ST With a STC Noses to a MD-500E Helicopter 🚁 With Plexiglass Like Yours 🚁😎🚁
It really enhances the look of the heli in my opinion
I want one!
Me too!!
I would love to. Getting a opportunity to fly along side you to getting used to the controls
How is you tablet case mounted? Drilled into the dash or a clamp?
Alex I missed not seeing you in the 500
Thanks for the support and appreciation of the videos - unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to fly the 500 for a while, but hopefully you enjoy the EC135/145 videos
Love the rendition of the cockpit in this 500. The giant window unquartered gives a fantastic view. Is this an option on all models?
It was an STC from a company in the USA that unfortunately is no longer in production - it’s a great mod and really adds to the look of the aircraft
What the two electronic flight instruments installed are? I can see a Garmin at the bootom and a combined flight director - hsi at the top
Aspin for the combined artificial horizon and HSI , and Garmin gps / radio / transponder for the bottom
I noticed he had some concerns on continuing to climb ' with the anti torque pedals in the neutral position the tail rotor has a medium positive pitch angle and in medium positive pitch the tail rotor thrust approximately equals the torque of the main rotor during Cruise flight so the helicopter maintains a constant heading in level flight
Do you mind rephrasing this in simple language?
Where is the pittot tube on the hughes500?
Under the canopy / aircraft nose
I'll be doing the same as he was if asked by you myself
Great video! What year model is the 500E?
80’s model with a few modifications
Does it have a governor?
Yes it has a power turbine governor
Would love to see a heli pilot going to start a car 😂🇳🇱
Pilots love buttons!!!!
13:37 And this is why I don't fly R44's anymore
That’s certainly a great benefit of a fully articulated (or a rigid) rotor system!
so when you Bank it do you use your rotary pedals or is it pitch and throttle?
The pedals are used to control the direction you face when hovering , and to keep the helicopter flying ‘in trim’ - ie the direction of flight , at higher speeds. The stick between your legs controls the roll (side to side ) and pitch (nose up and down ) of the helicopter . The throttle we don’t need to adjust in normal flight as a hydro mechanical governor adjusts the fuel flow automatically
@@ABHelicopters okay I get it thank you
13:40 Doing “this” that you can’t do in an R44. What is “this”?
Hi Tim, thanks for the comment- unfortunately the audio is about a second and a half out of sync - (forward) of the video - what happens next is a forward movement of the cyclic - nose down - unloading of the rotor disk - which is avoided in a R44 ( or any teetering rotor head
) in fact the R44 has a note on the cyclic - ‘Low G pushovers prohibited’.
Thank you my mate was a C Alaska pipe line now I feel robbed
Too many ads on your videos...
Do you always need to talk to the tower when flying anywhere?
Depends where from - and where you are crossing - it is possible to go from a back garden to another back garden - without talking to anyone - as long as neither landing pads - or the route - takes you through controlled airspace
Sometimes - even if you don’t need too- we check in with air traffic control- perhaps asking for a basic service - just to get the local weather conditions or find out if there is much activity in the local area - flying wise
@@ABHelicopters Okay thanks!
How long she can stay in air ?
About 2 and a bit hours with the additional extra auxiliary tank
@@ABHelicopters Thanks for reply ♥️👍🏼💪🌹❤️
Can you list a to-do list to start up and take off?I am appreciate it if you can do
You might appreciate this video
czcams.com/video/A8tmkDnFe6M/video.html
@@ABHelicopters thanks a lot
Pleasure! Let me know if you have any questions
the engine here is C20R/4?
Hi there - thanks for the question - it’s actually a C20B, it it comes with a digital TOT meter , rather than the standard analog one!
@@ABHelicopters I am flying the C20B in a round nose Delta model and feels great knowing that you have extra engine power to play with. I just dont know how does it fare in pointed nose Echo model which i believe a heavier fuselage than C
I haven’t noticed a huge difference between the D and the E with the modded nose to be honest , and I have limited experience with the older C18 engine
No good for a quick getaway then? 😄
Very good - just make sure it’s warm !
And don’t worry- you can get it going slightly faster !
Lol thanks for the tips 😄👍🏼
Great video id love to have a go in a heli one day :)
What would the price of this helicopter ?
Hi there
All depends on the age and the time remaining on the components - very approximately between £700k to 1.2million for a ‘good’ md500e
@@ABHelicopters thanks for the update, if you could update regarding seating, I am looking something with atleast 4 person seating
4 plus the pilot ? Or 4 including the pilot ? If so- consider the R44 (4 seats) or the Bell 206 Jetranger (5 seats) - EC120 (5 seats) or Bell 505 (5 seats) - Robinson R66 (5 seats)
@@ABHelicopters thanks once again, in terms of above options, which one is most economical in terms of fuel and regular maintenance and also price.
It really depends how much you intend to fly it !
I hope these guys are wearing ear plugs. Is your mate getting orientation in the 500?
We are wearing headsets - and it’s a basic familiarisation flight on the aircraft
@@ABHelicopters You started the aircraft without hearing protection. The damage was done long before you slipped the headsets on
tried to watch I did and loved it just to many commercials so had to stop sorry I know its all about money now not the real experience
Sorry to hear that - thank you for the feedback
WTF? Why do you have an MD in the EU? You have eurocopter?
We have lots of types here - plenty of Bell’s for example!
