  • Brandon invited me back out to learn how to fly the OH-6 as Pilot in Command (startup to shut down). Looking for a good book to read? Check out N.O. Justice, the latest in the ALEX SHEPHERD Series: books2read.com/u/mV6zl5

      Great video. Brings back memories from my tour in Vietnam. Our pilots used to teach us enough to get it on the ground in case they were disabled. I remember going out to a field and hovering and using the pedals to turn one way then the other the lt never gave me control alone but I believe that I could have landed. LOL might not have been pretty nbut struts are easier to replace than pilots.this I'd a great video. I HAD FORGON THE TEMP FOR Aas far a hot start.m concerned the best light helicopter ever built.!!

    As you can see, I’ve done my job correctly! For all you instructors out there, teaching the proper way will cause a change in behavior according to Malvo’s hierarchy of learning! It makes the pilot think! Even the 3Gs toppa T checklist is embedded in Movers memory to make sure the helo is ready to fly. Even Brandon has a piece of it! As long as they both keep learning, mission accomplished. Fly safe my young Padawan The force will be with you, always. 🚁🇺🇸👮🏻‍♂️

She was a little Cherokee gal who loved to fish & hunt and she swore up and down that she saw a fish break from 7500'!!! (She couldn't tell who was 10' from her, but she swore she saw a fish break down on a lake in western NC ;-) Take care Mr Mover, and have fun :-)

    It was scary and nerve racking at the beginning, but learning the UH-60 was amazing. The start up on any helicopter is extensive and methodical, but absolutely necessary. Having a good co pilot makes a huge difference. Ive heard recently that the engineers are making this process much easier now, using better computers to help navigate system checks etc. Flying a a single prop was so easy compared to helicopters.

  • @CAPFlyer
    @CAPFlyer Před 2 lety +4

    Houston PD has several OH-6s in its fleet, so I see them buzzing in and out every day at work and its always a joy. They recently brought one out of maintenance and they did the post maintenance hop checking all the controls and everything so it was kinda cool seeing how nimble the OH-6 is as the pilot did all the checkout maneuvers around their pad.

    You can reach under your leg if it’s not uncomfortable for you. I used my thumb for the starter and have left thumb ready for “cut off.” Plenty of techniques out there but that one worked for me. You can count “clicks” on the trim to give you an idea of what to go back to from hover to forward flight and back to hover. Gets you in the ball park.

    Great flying Mover. You piloted the OH-6, went through the preflight check list and the start, like you've been in the right seat for years! Your take-off and landing was awesome! The white sandy beaches and the beautiful gulf water was a great area for the "sortie". Deputy Brandon is a cool dude. He had your back and you had his like all of our law enforcement and military brothers and sisters. Harrison County and Gulfport are beautiful areas. (Bill from Slidell)
