- In this video we discuss types of climbs and descents, and practicing slowing down for are approach to land.
This is not meant as flight instruction, but rather for flight simulation and entertainment purposes.
DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT a military pilot nor have I flown a real AH-64D. However, I am a certified FAA Commercial fixed wing and rotorcraft instrument rated pilot. I have over a thousand hours combined in the following helicopters: AS-350B2 (A-Star), Bell 206 BIII (Jet Ranger), OH-58A+, R-22 beta II, and about 10 hours in a Bell 47. I hope you enjoy, and if you have any helicopter questions please feel free to leave them in the comment section below. Enjoy! - Hry
Off to practice some more....
Awesome video! There are so many "systems" videos out there for the apache but very few covering the practical aspect of helicopter flying. I’ll be sure to share with my group. Thanks ever so much!
No problem! Make sure subscribe, hahahaha
WOW…Nice landing
Off to practice, great hint on keeping target spot centered in window
Thanks
appreciated great important basic lesson :)
Thanks
One of my biggest problems at first was not giving myself enough room or time to approach properly, meaning I had to basically flare to slow down, which meant really big inputs before I had the skill to control it well. The problem with only a visual approach is that by the time you see the runway and are comfortable with how close you are, you are probably already way too close to have a controlled approach. Setting up way off the runway like a fast mover and then giving yourself plenty of time to make small adjustments using the VVI to control the approach really helped me. Do that enough and you start to get a feel for being able to be gradually more and more aggressive with your approaches.
Just awesome Eagle 7 🤛
Hoofin vid mate just spent the last couple of hours doing your technique I've improved brilliantly your vids are a credit mate 👍
Glad it helped!
@@eagle7117 You bet, it does! This is the practical flying stuff. Despite a ton of "how to fly a helicopter" manuals out there, including the Army's Flying Bible, there is a big gap, between reading about it and watching someone with experience applying it and most important explain what he does, where he's looking and why. That's why you're stuff and Casmo's combat/tactics employment stuff is so valuable for us armchair pilots.
You guys are for us, kind of what an Instructor Pilot would be in real life...
Good walk through. Even in fixed wings, pilots often try to decouple speed (using pitch) and descent rate (using power).
Rather than trying to work both simultaneously “moving downhill” they try to set reduce speed (set pitch) while holding constant altitude, THEN they further reduce power to start the descent, adding/reducing to hold the desired decent rate (sped already being set). Being a simple person i think of rotary the same way…but I hope to improve and be able to do this “going downhill.”
I really hope more people have access to this video! This one video alone reminded me what to look for and to remember when flying. I thank you so much for videos like this!
Glad it helped!
Excellent tutorial.I was taught pitch for speed and power for altitude when I trained as a (plank) pilot 🙂 Thanks for your efforts in putting these videos together, it really does help 👍
Just: WOW! Thx so much for your great work!
Fantastic - thank you!
Thanks!
Awesome - THX Sir! It makes it so much easier to tame the "beast" - your tutorials are really awesome and keep on rocking!
Brilliant informative video 👍
Great video, man. Excellent tutorial. I fly helos in DCS for some time now, but I will pay attention to things you highlighted in this video. The stepping down process is what I need to learn and practice.
Great video. Very helpful!
Well done....
Thanks!
These vids are so good. Thx
Great Vid thanks for this.
The thumbnail is grafenwöhr. I knew that looked familiar😂
Good stuff.
Good stuff.... Would love to see how you do a "combat stop" as in dropping in on a hot LZ. Obviously you wouldn't want a slow drawn out landing sequence for that.
Bravo
This all changes when you're heavy. Load up max Hellfires and 2 bags and 100% fuel for a long mission and it's a whole new set of variables. The concept may be the same, but the application of that concept is much more difficult. At the beginning he went into a nice hover to start. That's gone. You have to do a rolling takeoff or you're not getting off the ground. And if you do manage to get up, it's going to be a tough climb out. At least it is for me. Eagle would probably do a max weight takeoff just like he's empty, but us mere mortals would have a tough time of it.
Check out my high hot and heavy video. I talk about this in there! Thanks for the feed back.
Ciao great video :) , What if You in a hover high altitude and you want to descent to land as fast as possible , how would that be done without the Heli breaking :P ?
Thanks for that .It seems you never use the Trimbutton ?Is that useful or practical?
Awsome video and explanations , I have a question , what kind of joystick you use for AH-64 Apache ? Thank you !

I swear my landings are a lot more exciting! 😩
Great tutorial. What causes the aircraft to suddenly flip upside down?
If it is happening at a fast speed, then maybe it is retreating blade stall. Every helicopter suffers this effect: if you are flying too fast, the blade that is advancing in the direction of flight has a high lift, however, the blade that is retreating, I.e., the blade that is going against the direction of flight, it's speed is subtracted from the helo speed. Thus, the final speed over the blade os zero, meaning zero lift. Then you have this situation: the advancing blade, right side blade, has maximum lift, the left side blade, has zero lift, which makes the helicopter flip over. You might always check your speed. I don't know what is the limite on the Apache, but in the Ka-50 is around 300 km/h and on the Hind 350 km/h.
@@sloppydog4831 Makes sense. Thanks
