volition Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Gateway Helicopters at Canadore College... graduated in March 2007. I did 50 hours on the 300 and 50 hours on the JetRanger. Instructors: Lavern Ross CFI, Andy Brunet, and Marianne Cyr. Good times but we had 13 students. Way too many. Marianne Cyr was my instructor too!

sling Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 KO is instructing part time with Chinook....I did mine with Transwest Helicopter School (1977) with Neil Hart, an all around great guy....unfortunately he passed on from lung cancer around 97 [/quote seems like i'm the only one here from quebec... but any way, a did my training at canadian, and just have good thaughts . great trainer whith lots of experiences. that will pull you a rank over many... i'm still a newbie here but i have a quetion for you H56, are you really flying the crane? how thid you get in there (really curious). for me i'ts the ultimate job. as a low timer, what would be the right path for me to get in there to one day??? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412driver Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 QUOTE(gli77 @ Apr 9 2006, 03:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> basically once your engine fails...you have about 3 seconds to put the machine into auto rotation before the inertia runs out. Your aircrafts rotor then loses its flight and lift characteristics and becomes practically unrecoverable. I couldnt say if this is true or not but thats what ive heard. Cheers TM actually, I believe the number is closer to 1.25 seconds to get the collective down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 seems like i'm the only one here from quebec... but any way, a did my training at canadian, and just have good thaughts . great trainer whith lots of experiences. that will pull you a rank over many... i'm still a newbie here but i have a quetion for you H56, are you really flying the crane? how thid you get in there (really curious). for me i'ts the ultimate job. as a low timer, what would be the right path for me to get in there to one day??? cheers Experience, experience, and more experience. Some (working here) would debate, if its the ultimate job.....but again, its what you make of it Seriously though, you will defenitely need twin experience along with lots of vertical reference time.....the lowest time pilot we hired on this side of the border had/has over 7,600 hrs with 5,000 of that logging on mediums prior......he was/is an exceptional lower time pilot. Most of the guys here are in the 15,000 to 20,000 hr range. Cheers, H56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
