hornet Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi there, For the my very firs time here I can say that this is one of the best sites dealing with helicopter problems. Just go on! :up: Now back to the problem, I'm heli flight instructor and curently I'm making the Manual of radiothelephony specially for heli pilots. The main sorce are ICAO and CAA documents but there are no details like: flight in formation, emergence procedures for helicopters etc. My question is: does anybody knows something about it or has experience in that field? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornet Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Phil, I'm looking at it. Thanks! It's third edition-2006. I've used some parts, but how do you ask ATC for autorotation training in aerodrome trafic circuit? Or, how to order to another helicopter, changing formation during flight? Or, ask for servo-system malfunction training? Do you have any experience in that field? Thanks, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My usual trick is to just ask: "Tower, request departure for tight circuit for autorotations to the runway/practice hydraulic failure/touch and go with one engine failure on takeoff" Plain English works sometimes! However, I will try to see if I can find out anything Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Unless you're planning to use the active for a full-on, I don't see why ATC should care whether you're just doing a circuit, practicing autos, hyd failures or stuck pedals. The only time you need to be more specific than asking for a circuit is if you need to approach into wind when the circuit is cross-wind, a downwind approach (for 180 autos), or a higher than usual circuit altitude (for 360 autos). Anything else is just a circuit... There's a small book called "VFR Radio Procedures in Canada" published by RMC (somewhere in the Toronto area) that could be helpful to you. Dunno if it's still in print though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Phil I agree with you, plain English works (but not sometimes, I think the most of the time ) especialy in heli world. Please if you find out sometheng let me now. Skidz you are wright, but when I practise autorotation with my students (with SA-342 Gazelle), we don't make full stop on the grass runway. So, ATC should now that I will overshoot and start to climb to another circuit. Same situation with training hydraulic mailfunction, they should give me priority on landing. Does anybody have experience with flight in formation? See ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
