2:02 I'm laughing so hard at this! 😂 Lester is an absolute legend 😎, hope he had a great birthday 😊.
Lester messing with the auto at the beginning was great.
You gotta love Lester! What a great instructor and sense of humor is spot on!

Lester getting you on comms early on was hilarious. I'm in telecom and have messed with technicians testing phones like that by tapping the mute button. Completely impressed with Lester because he did it totally with his voice and even kept his lips moving throughout! Well done!
He did that great!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Trolling like a boss :D
I am from UK. Retired 747 Captain of many years. Your channel is one of the best I have seen

Lester is a legend. He really helps kick these blogs up a notch or two.
Happy Belated Birthday to Lester, the man, the myth and ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Lester pulled a "Wayne's World" on you! 😆
That instructor pilot is really good. I like his teaching style. Keeps everything nice and calm and reassures the student pilot when he's doing good things, helps him right along when maybe not doing everything perfect in a calm and reassuring way as to not startle him.
just got to love mover being his biggest critic and enemy to his self confidence and then lester say he dude shut the hell up, in a kind way. cw man you are doing great stop beating your self up.
I’m the same way so I can relate to CW.
Don’t kick yourself Mover. You did great, Lester said all was passable.👍🏻 Your a Perfektionist, which is ok, I think that will all come with flight hours. I’m amazed at your hard work.💪🏻
Wow! The frustration and disappointment in your face is real noticeable. I cannot imagine trying to master flying a helicopter with no power to rotor and relying on aerodynamics to keep it rorating. Your self expectations are so high that it can be seen that this sorti was a low score on your personal standard of acceptability chart, but what you have accomplished as a fighter and airline pilot you will overcome this rough day.
Thank you for what you do sir! 👍
Extremely valuable session - Enjoyed your interplay with Lester - A lot happened in this short flight - I learned a ton concerning how to speak up and know your limitations
I’ve flown both USAF and airliners and instructed in both. Instructing is really challenging and while I know nothing about helicopters, I can say that Lester is a great instructor and I have found this series far more interesting and informative than I ever expected. Great job!
Lester now appearing at your local comedy club. This was a lot of fun. Don't beat yourself up too much Mover. You're in the home stretch 👍🏻
Ha-----Ay Bir-----ay L------ster! Over! 🤣🤣 Got him good! I ain't just saying this but with eyes off I was like "Is he messing with him?" and just as I looked back at the monitor; Mover's twiddling knobs (STS) and Lester's smirking! 😂 Legend!
at 2:29 there seems to be an edit, I think at the 2:30 mark Mover puts a bar of soap into his sock and then beats the hell out of Lester (THE LOOK ON HIS FACE) - hahahahahahaha -- SOB that made my day.
I really enjoy these and learn a lot! Huge thanks to you and Lester!! Actually going to be a little sad when your done. LOL 8)
PS, I had a fear of helo's when you started these, not so much now! 8) --gary
Thanks Mover. Lester is quite the character. I have really enjoyed this series.
Lester is the man!!!
That was hilarious! Good on Lester. You ought to consider having him do a video with you on his CAP outfit when you are done with this.
I remember my first autorotation with a R22. Saw that tree coming fast towards me… scary and fun!. Now I get to make autorotations with a Ka32. Quite a difference with a 8,5 tonn helo.
Never seen autos from in the cockpit before. I always thought you use the collective to keep the rotor speed down during your flare but Lester says no and insists using cyclic only. That makes it very difficult to not overshoot your landing. I learned allot watching this. Thankyou
Really enjoyed this vid. Lester really taught well. Remembering fixed wing engine out approaches. Loved it
Lester got you good man!
oh sure audio out ... just don't want us to hear Lester screaming..lol just kidding mover you're doing fantastic 👏👍
Lester is comic genius 😆
I was just about to fly my PPL flight test today, but weather cancelled it!
I watch helicopters train around our field all the time and it's cool to watch it from the cockpit, especially from your channel. Awesome stuff.
Awesome video. CW, you and Lester are awesome.
The Air Wolf-esque music at the beginning makes it all worth it!
My uncle used to what Lester did to his teacher that wore a hearing aid, the poor teacher would tap on and fiddle with his hearing aid till he figured out what was going on.
Lester you rotten bastard - poor Mover lol. We have the clearance - but I don't!! Nearly there Mover, check ride is on fast approach. Cheers mate.
Love this series, and your doing amazing. Quite a change from fighter jets to rotary. Almost there!
Looool the dad joke radio check
The one single word that keeps me out of rotary wing aircraft: autorotate.
Proof that helicopters don’t fly, they beat the air into submission.
My instructor at A school was fond of helos don't fly. They're so ugly the earth rejects them.
Hey hot shot fixed wing guy; every glider pilot lands without an engine! Think about that! Every gyrocopter pilot lands with out power to the rotor ( I wouldn’t fly one either)
It’s not flying… it’s falling with style lol
A couple of things. I am NOT a helicopter pilot but I took some lessons in a UH12 20 years ago. That helicopter was made in 1947. Throttle / collective was near non existent. All the frequencies were on the stick because you can’t take your hands off the stick for a second. I wish I got my rating though, we did autorotation and pinnacle landings and of course you know height vs velocity.
Good luck ur the man... I was going for my commerical license and had a bad experience with a instructor (he was showing off and accidently went into a spin)in a 182 and just couldn't finish scared the shit out of me... Anyway gl 👍
Good Training A+
I really like these videos
That's the right attitude Mover! Never be satisfied, always work and learn to be better at your craft or trade. Aviation is that constant learning cycle where your never quite comfortable with your knowledge set.
Lester has jokes. 😂😂😂😂
Lester is a real card……..”everything’s cutting out on your side, indeed”.😀
P.S. Airspeed indicator now operating o.k.?
By far I am no expert, but i think you are doing good.
Think you maybe slightly hard on yourself! You got this Warrior!
Nice autorotatins as far as they went..however anyone can fall 1000' it is the last 50' to touchdown that makes for a successful autorotation... I highly encourage you to find somewhere you can do touchdown auto's, it makes a very big difference. I have 30 years of helicopter flight time with a little over half of that as a company Check Airman, and military IP.
Enjoyed it as always.
Perfeito.
.ester i. .uch a lau..
Autos on a wet approach! Has to be right every time anyway right?
Managing rotor RPM in 180 autos is so tricky! Nice flying
I've noticed in this and several other vids a fair quantity of liquid dripping out of the bottom of the aircraft and wondered 1, If it's normal and 2, what it is.
Thanks for another great video. Find myself doing these lessons in the DCS Huey when I have a quiet evening. Good luck with the solo, not that you will need it. Not sure what will fill this space once you have qualified. Have really enjoyed this.
Once again, we are in New Orleans. The humidity averages 90-95%. That’s condensation from the air conditioner. Very common
Hola flaco querido, saludos desde Mar del Plata (Argentina).
I’m shocked he didn’t say “A sphincter says what?”
Not sure if this well help or not. I soloed an airplane after 4.5 hours of dual instruction. It was super easy.
Later I wanted to try helicopters. Figured how hard could be? Soloed and airplane in 4.5 hours and got my private right at 40.
Well, the R22 humbled me. I was getting frustrated and then like a light switch I could suddenly fly it.
Then it came to autos. That was a real challenge. I was always behind the helicopter. Then I figured something out. Stop flying the needles. They seem to lag behind to much. I figured out I need to anticipate things from other means like visual clues and sound of the rotor system. Once I figured that out it all got much easier.
On my check right I screwed up the entry but was able to recover and put the helicopter right dead nuts into the spot. Not close, but right dead nuts on it. Then I thought I sure hope he does not ask me to do that again.... Then it was onto the run on landings. Super easy. Right into the same spot between two road cones. Sadly, have not flown much since.
Get your guy to teach you zero airspeed autos and full contact autos.
I'm not sure everyone gets that you're holding yourself to fighter pilot standards. I think Lester does, but he wants you to pass &get your license so you can go flying.
I don't even think it's "fighter pilot standards" per se. The PTS (for the checkride) says you have to make the spot within 200'.
First solo for me in a rotary next week. Surprised it sounds like I'll be doing it before you and I was watching this series before I took the plunge.
We use the checks BARS in a auto that I found helped.
Balance for accurate IAS
Airspeed - 70 kts
RPM - 100%
Spot target location
Keep repeating until the flare
R-22?

Hey mover .... Nice to see you flying again
On your autos...why don’t you do full stops?
3:13 Oh, there's a steveokinevo-mobile :)
5:08 Oh, an actual, real T-6, not that weird new thing which stole the name of it :D
How does the documentation for emergency procedures for a civilian aircraft like this compare to the bold-face that you'd get in a dash-one or NATOPS manual?
Autos are way easier in the R44 than the R22.
Would love to see a time lapse video of runaway 18 being built.
what are the droplets coming out of the bottom of the helicopter? before 15:27 for reference.
guessing a/c condensation??
what is the r44 leaking, also i love doing autorotations in the huey in dcs :)
I guess one joker is too many on this day. I did laugh my butt off when he was faking his audio. Joker is a good call sign too, but wouldn't it be conflicted with no fuel.
Are you doing this so you can fly for the SO
My agency got rid of our helicopter.
@@CWLemoine well that sucks
So glad I didn’t train with that guy. It would have cost a fortune to get my license.
Lol us old farts love messing with you rookies.
Lol put Lester in a jet and lets see how much Lemoine messes with him
A bit slower than an F-18.
Lester...... that was funny.
Hey CW, old (very old marine chopper pilot here from Vietnam era. H-34's and 2 engine H 53's) Trying to relate this video to those 2 choppers. This thing is different. We were just taught to "look between our toes), cause that's where you were going to land. Nothing like you about "not" flaring with cyclic, and RPM's increasing. Maybe because we were so much heavier?? Can't remember max gross on the H 34 anymore, but the 53 max gross was 52000 lbs. (A lot more on the 3 engine jobs, I'm sure)
E--h-h-h-h RPM's increasing, brain fart---I meant to say ballooning.
What’s dripping from the underside of the helicopter? Evap from the AC? Another great video Mover, when is the new book releasing on audiobook?
its not evap its condensation from the A/C. evaporation is turning a liquid in to gas. condensation is the opposite. so you would not see water in its gaseous form dripping from the helicopter.
@@highkicker11 what is condensating in there causing it do drip?
This thing as A/C? wow
Not the whole Air Wolf Theme. A+
What are you pulling at the end of the video?
must be the brake that stops the rotor from continuing to spin
Congrat' mister " MoVeR " ;)
hilarious
"Birds!" Now where have we heard that before?
LOL, air wolf theme!
Back to flying lesson for helicopter?
I got your theme music. ;)
ATC always sounds depressed
I thought the common cold magically ceased to exist.
nice work dude. good autos. lester, crackin me up with the comms check, hahaha, got me too
