Mark_ Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 A reporter that actually knew what he was talking about?!? Can it be true? He must have been one of the news channels pilots they were talking to. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 A reporter that actually knew what he was talking about?!? Can it be true? He must have been one of the news channels pilots they were talking to. Mark The pilot of the helicopter shooting the video was also most likely the reporter.

ChopperBob Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 A reporter that actually knew what he was talking about?!? Can it be true? He must have been one of the news channels pilots they were talking to. Mark That pilot, Rob Marshall, is one of the best out there. I used to work for a while at a FBO in Sacramento, CA when Rob worked at the station there. He is an AWESOME pilot and a great reporter. He always had his dog Dylan with him. Last year, Dylan had to be put to sleep. I have NEVER seen a dog love to fly like Dylan did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Stuck pedals or tail rotor failures must be a little harder on an enstrom not much of a keel surface there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet B Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah, it looked like a fairly nasty stuck left pedal too. He did a nice job of putting it down there. Lefty's are tough since they like to spin once you get it slowed to a hover. We used to practice beeping the governor or retarding the throttle (Astar) while in the low flare. The theory being, if you get the rpm down you are slowing the tailrotor too and reducing it's authority. It actually works pretty nice in an Astar if you do it right. Gotta be careful you don't shut the engine down though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrariflyer Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 In the hover in a 500 we were taught to pull in some power and beep down the governer...it seemed to work every time...and then a very slow gradual descent down for a zero/zero landing with no yaw...just have to watch the RPM does not drop too much. Otherwise if we were inflight and if I remember correctly, we made for a shallow approach into wind with speed on and gradually reduced the speed to see if we could bring the thing back into the hover for a near zero zero landing. I know there are a few methods that are taught for this malfunction. Perhaps others can share what they have been taught as a couple have done before in this thread.
