Shouldn't takeoff be downwind?

Very nice flying skills 😊

Maquina fantástica.

The interesting thing about this is how it proves that low iq people can function so effectively in a modern society.

What is the cockpit size of a 119 compared to a 109. I'm six foot 3 and I didn't fit into a 109 cockpit without yoga. And after 2 hours of flying I couldn't get out, or walk properly.

Slade is a West Country name for a farmer that dates back to the tenth century.

Nice flying Sir. Hoping to see some new videos coming in '24. Cheers from the USA.

I saw n119sx in that Amazon prime show, I think it was Jack ryan season 4.You still flying contract?

Ah the algorithm popped you up again! Still flying AWOL? I've been doing my fixed wing PPL at Elstree and seen her in and out a few times, didn't want to bother whoever was flying though!

Finally got my 66 rating a couple of weeks ago. If I thought autos in the 44 were uneventful, in the turbine I really should have brought something to read.

Neither “test” in the other video, nor “messing” in this one. I guess you respect the owner.

I can see the fuel tanks just burning money.

Cool 😎

Just stunning ps with sound silent lol

❤❤❤💪🏾😊👍🏾

Last time into Oxford was to have a radio seen to but unfortunately they didn't have another radio for us to use to fly back out of there so we ended up putting it back in and getting an engineer to come to us to fix it. The airfield was buzzing with trainee pilots from Saudi Arabia that were there to do the full training from ppl through to commercial pilot and from single engine to multi engine and turbine craft for both rotary and fixed wing. They all looked very smart with their uniforms on but grasping the English language was proving hard for some with lots of corrections when talking to the tower and the poor guy in the control tower had to tell them to just stay where they were and land to avoid causing an accident. The QFI's were really earning their money

Brings back memories for me, I flew N600SY back in 2003. Nice auto start-up with an American woman's voice saying, auto start-up initiated. Shoreham was also the base for a good friend that did my check flights on the Hughes 300 called Dennis Kenyon. He would travel up to Wales and do a bunch of us through the day but also give us a bit more tuition on perfecting autos without a run on and sometimes on sloping ground. I remember doing my first proper auto with him which he said was fine and we would have walked away from it but I'll show you what an auto without any run on is like. He also demonstrated a proper vortex state and not just the incipient stage that you do through your ppl training and its something I'll never forget. He had a knack of saying, you shouldn't do this when flying but I'll show you the result of doing this and how to recover from it. Nobody was spared and there was never a rush to be next in the seat because you knew you were in for the ride of your life. RIP Dennis

I realize this is an old video but what does the +3 mean when the ATC controller gives you your startup clearance?

Great system if you inadvertently punch into cloud or fog.

You really need a dead cat on your microphone.

There's one 600N in my area, used exclusively for power transmission line surveys. It's fitted out with cameras and sensors to detect corona discharge and other electrical faults. It is a very distinctive machine and everybody knows what it is doing wherever it goes. It's a joy to watch.

Great informative video indeed! Just for stake of correctness, Mk.I version (or A119) had either fully analog cockpit or IDS displays like those of the video. Mk.II version (AW119MkII) had initially the same IDS displays, but also increased MTOW and 102% rotor speed for improved performance and safety in power-off landing. Then the Mk.II platform got in 2015 the Garmin glass cockpit, G1000H initially and now NXi. Finally it obtained FAA IFR certification with the new 4-displays Genesys avionics (unfortunately not yet civil certification in Europe), and won the US Navy tender for 130 training helicopters as the TH-73 Thrasher. Currently in production also for Turkish Armed forces😊

Are you still flying the 119 at the moment? (March '23) or working on something else?

Hi slade, I was wondering what prevents your cyclic/pedal inputs from fighting against the sas system?

That's definitely not a horse

I'm sure she's a nice lady, but even so - DO NOT obstruct my instruments. Control your passenger PIC!! And if she is also a pilot - then she should KNOW not to do that.🤔🤔

Next he should spray a bunch of bullets down there and see what happens.

Love it

What was the point of that bloody awful screeching noise in the background. Ruined anotherwise great video

Seems simple and quick to start and fly off. I want to fly this aircraft! -ATP, Helo

Your take: BELL 407 vs AW119. PLEASE.

Is it IFR Certified ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Bloody hell, a man of any size cant fit

Great video! But I have to ask, where is the compass located on this helicopter. In place of where I would expect to see it, there is what appears to be a correction chart of some sort.

Was it saying "floater low" or "rotor low"

You guys have to have a type rating for it? In the USA a rotorcraft rating is all we need

This model is not on the MD website, wonder why they stopped producing it, the 902 must be the better design.

You are not a fan of the Notar system, why is that, just curious?

I was at this airport when I got my ppl license

Great job sir. Thank you for posting.

Good job sir. Thank you.

Switching from a 119 to an r66 is like going from a Ferrari to a Honda civic.Still, a civic is still a very nice car and an r66 is still a great heli no matter what all the Robbie haters say, I mean haven't they sold over 1200 ships is the last 10 years, very successful Heli indeed.Great flying by the way!

🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁

Nice flying, as always, sir.

My sentiments exactly. Love everything about this helicopter. Wondered how you would compare it to the Bell 407.

In an ideal world and lets say money no obstacle, given your flying experience, can I ask you what type of helicopter would you purchase for private use to fly between Ireland England and throughout Europe. For private use only. Remember money no obstacle, and include safety preferences i.e multi bladed and floats. Thank you

Is this your own helicopter?

I start my 66 rating in a couple of weeks time. I’m looking forward to it.

Seriously, out of a Cortina? 😂

I would, I really would...but when I added up the pennies, I realised I have spent my 2022 flying budget...by the end of April
