Amphibious Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 reminds me of a normal day logging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDIE Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Looks just like the railroad track approach in Blue River You can see them for a long ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over-Talk Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 He circled down, descended outside the fog bank at a reduced speed, appeared to have at least 1/2 mile of forward visibility through the whole manuvere and clear ground to use in case of an emergency. Where is the problem ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dammyneckhurts Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 That was just another day at the office.....actually that was a good day at the office! Bluebird up top, easy landings all day...can see the ground and the runway easily through the 75' layer of fog on the way in , drop down in a creek where fog is less and you have more lateral reference with the side slopes....####...thats almost a perfect day! If you think that was bad dont ever try heli skiing unless you have boots on and are sittting in the back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetopflyer Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Nothing unusual there. It does make me want to fly a-stars again though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorboy2 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 At the start it looked worse than it was. When he entered the fog you could still see down to the creek so, in my opinion, it wasn't that hairy. Flying in the mountains produces may days like that. It's not ideal, but it's a reality.

212wrench Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 If you never flew in conditions like that, you would never ski. Looks pretty typical. I know an old timer who when asked by the guests about what would happen skiing if you flew into a cloud would answer it this way. "you don't fly into a cloud." The guests didn't like that answer because they want to hear all about that "pilot sh*t" (as "Goose" once said). His reply when they enevitably asked again was "you don't fly into a cloud." I think because he has made it to be an "old guy" that is pretty good advice. Stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langleyr44 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is there a Reg. that states that all passengers must wear headphones or some form of pilot comunications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
