Please continue to make helicopter-related videos, Captain Joe. I really enjoyed this one. Ironically, the most impressive thing said in this video was that "everyone in Germany has health insurance." Astounding!
When I got my emergency doctor training in 2006 we were taught about the intricacies and implications of involving a helicopter as means of rescue. For example what limitations the cramped space and the noise level onboard put on the treatment of patients. The most surprising part for me was that especially in densely populated areas the helicopter will often be used as a transport for the doctor without actually planning to also transport the patient afterwards. The radius of operation the helicopter has just increases the flexibilty to dispatch doctors and serves a fill-in function for limited availabilty of ground-based emergency doctors´ cars.
Yes please. Love Rotary wing content. I worked at a UK airfield as a fire fighter and worked with H135 and H145's and S92' flown by HMRC. They are al amazing craft crewed by amazing men and women.
Captain Joe, as a private pilot of a fix wing, i always expecting your next video. Your videos, are all made (even the shortest ones) in such a professional , thoughtful, informative , educated and to be learned from manner . Thank you for your great work.
I am 70 years old Captain Joe, but I still love aviasjon. This was a great wideo! They're doing a great job, and we have the same system in Norway. You are a comersial pilot, but good luck with your helicopter education! The best from me! 🙂(I flew the C-130 in the military many years ago)
I really wanted to be a HEMS medic! This is a great video. My neighbour was saved HEMS when he fell off the roof while having a heart attack in 2010. Wonderful pilots and staff
As a helideck landing officer on offshore vessels I can confirm people that dont really know hand signals, confuse the pilots more than anything else, every time ive guided people through the procedure and allowed them to take control of the deck the pilots have been like " I landed up landing it without really even watching that guys hand signals"
Great comments from everyone. I’m very happy to see any new Captain Joe video, whether about helicopters or 747 tyre changing. The videos are so watchable and every single one is professionally put together. I look forward to Joe becoming a Captain and I’d certainly be interested in learning more about helicopters 😊. I’m not surprised they don’t want hand signals from untrained bystanders - heavy goods vehicles don’t even want car drivers trying to use the headlight signals they make to interact with other HGV drivers. They can’t be certain a bystander knows what they’re doing and they’d be responsible if an incorrect signal from such a person caused them to damage the aircraft or a person while landing. The most extreme place I’ve seen a helicopter land was at the coast while on a run. A Sea King was picking up an injured walker and it was parked in the rocks, with the tail sticking out over the sea.
For the interview... at the seats... audio for both is not stereo... mono - Joe your audio is coming from the right speaker and the guest is from the left speaker... Note to Editor... for Interviews take each audio from each person and copy and paste a second audio and link together to become stereo... (hope this helps)...
Never flew, but I did Volunteer Fire & EMS over 20 yrs. & was so thankful to have helicopter Med-Evac Service. They had a pilot, Medic & RN but once they brought a Trauma Surgeon to do an amputation; but we were able to cut off the brake pedal and they transported the pt. with the pedal in her foot & ankle. Unfortunately she died during surgery.
I’m not sure what you mean? Send you a telegram? This feeds into why I’ll never pilot anything more than a car & that’s up to my wife. Lol! Yes, the App, I do understand but after just cleaning up from having an app, phone # and email hacked I’m extremely cautious about adding any more apps. Besides … talking with Capt. Joe ,just the offer is quite an honor, seriously. I think I’ll just try to stop commenting now that I’m retired. Peace, Steve
Hello Joe! Czechoslovak than Czech and Slovak HEMS flights are still using Call sign "Kryštof", wich apparently follows ADAC utilizing name of patron saint. I do believe Austria uses similar. In Czechoslovakia was call sign assigned to base and Czech Republic kept the sequence so we do have gaps in numbering (Kryštof 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 18).
Austria does have "Christophorus" helicopters, operated by ÖAMTC Flugrettung, with ÖAMTC being an ADAC affiliate. However, some other Austrian HEMS providers use different callsigns for their rescue helicopters. "Heli Austria" air ambulance has chosen "Martin" for their HEMS choppers with St. Martin being the patron saint of beggars and the poor (people in need), "Schenk Air" operates their rescue helicopters under the callsign "Robin" (derived from Robin Hood, who also gave to the poor), Wucher Helicopter chose "Gallus" as their helicopter callsign (Gallus being the first name of the founder when it originally started out as a mason company before establishing helicopter operations for construction and HEMS in the 1970s), Schider Helicopter Services calling their ambulance helicopters simply "Heli" and ARA Air Rescue using "ARA" or "RK" respectively, depending on the base's medical cooperation partner (RK for "Rotes Kreuz" = red cross).
Helicopters are so cool got to fly in a bk117 in the 90s the London fire brigade was trying one out we flew from one side of London to the other in 15 minutes just amazing aircraft..fantastic content lots of information
Here in the UK. They're are called "helimed-(number)" eg helimed-99. Gives me a little similar mind set what the pilot & crew gose through. But piloting a helicopter alone is multitasking in its self. Let alone just navigate & throttle + yoke.
A private pilot in limbo for last 15 years, I spend many hours flying the H135 on X-Plane in simulated HEMS environment (and I'm pretty dang good at it if I say so myself). If I had a second chance in life, it's definitely the career route I would go!
You should have changed this to 2-channel mono instead of leaving the voices on opposite sides. It is actually really distracting on headphones with this completely separated stereo sound.
Wonderful video! Even as a frequent aviation video viewer learnt some new things :) And, earned even more respect for the pilot heroes that operate emergency flights.
On a typical EMS system(Emergency Medical Services) its always the ground based responders will arrive at the scene first typically an ambulance, fire truck and police..then upon assessment of the situation, if needed they will now call on air rescue services. (Air ambulance, air cranes, aerial firefighting etc.
Captain Joe, as you’re also fluidly speak german, it would be a quite interesting to watch a video from you made in all german language! Just ad subtitles for all of us non germans. Maybe not optimal for the TH-cam algorithm but make it just for fun! I’m a swede, not speaking german😜
Hello Capt. Joe, quite a detailed interview and got very nice tips about heli pilots and their operations. We will be glad to get more similar interviews. Michael from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪.
Thanks a lot for the video and all "Christoph crews". Every day I can see whan especially the Cristoph36 going into takeoff I know there will be care for human, is fighting for the life. It may be good feeling when a human continue his life after an accidend or in case of sickness. Allways godspeed and good luck😊
Very detailed and interesting video. I'm german myself and my biggest dream is to be a HEMS helicoptetpilot myself. Most documentaries are interesting but do not contain the interesting facts that you triggered with your questions. Keep on doing heli videos please, very interested!
Thats money well spent by the health insurance. I'd rather pay the premium and never use this service but have the peace of mind that it exists and saves lifes. Also, I would love to have more videos about rotary winged aircraft as it is so different from a fixed winged aircraft. Thank you and as always, have a safe flight.
Yes, it will be great to see more helicopter content. It will help us getting more familiar with the subject. It’s also my goal to get the helicopter license this summer!!
Thanks a lot, very interesting. I would love to know how the high voltage line detection at night works, since that is just super scary, because they are almost invisible and one touch with the rotor blade will most likely disintegrate the aircraft, killing everyone on board, because of imbalance and these línes are usually along highways where the accidents happen.
Any content you have on your channel I will enjoy! Crop dusters, helicopters, turboprops, engines, control surfaces, FADEC, small jets, big jets, etc etc! Thank you!
Your productions get better and better! As a suggestion: Could you maybe also take a look at the swiss REGA? I think it would be very intersting to compare!
Good job Capt... best wishes for your future plans too... plz post more helicopter videos as helicopters are being covered less than the fixed wing aircrafts in media....
I started to learn to fly helicopters when I was 15. Sometimes I wish I had stuck with that as a career, but I can’t change the past. All I can do now is fly the H145 in fight simulator and 3D print myself a cyclic and collective.
Maybe you could collab with pilot yellow, I also remember a German female heli pilot who got her training there in Canada - she might be a good interview partner too. Cannot remember her name right now, I think she had a TH-cam channel too.
If you want to be a rescue helicopter pilot and have the training free. About 10k people will apply for 2 jobs! Mega long application process, probably over 1 year. You will a degree most likely in a relative subject. Even if you got in…probably will need to commit to a minimum for 10 years post training
Video production quality wise, the audio left-right balance is not in the correct ratio, Jen is sitting on the right but the most of his audio volume is coming from left and vice versa for Joe. This can be adjusted in post production by the editor, taking note on the audio will improve the video significantly.
Hello Captian Joe, I’m a great fan of your TH-cam channel and like the explanations you described about all topics. However there is one thing I can’t understand why this is useful for, namely: If a helicopter is on a airport, civil or military, they often need to taxi like airplanes towards their spot where they are allowed to take off. What’s the use of it? Why not say to them “go ahead” and take of from the place their where stationed? Thank you for reading my question. Regards, Luc
A lot of times we get to do that, all depends on the location of the landing pad, traffic at and around the airport and things like aircraft weight and wind direction (read: downwash blowing over smaller aircraft).
From a heli flight instructors perspective I can tell you it's usually much, much harder for the FW guys to convert to rotary than the other way around, there's a lot of habits FW pilots have to actively un-learn first in order to fly choppers, from the miniscule cyclic control inputs needed to things like never pushing your stick forward (esp. during an engine failure).
Vielen Dank für dieses spannendes Interview. Ich wollte mal meinen Kommentar auf Deutsch schreiben weil ich Englischmuttersprachler bin und die Deutsche Leute kein Deutsch gesprochen haben trotzdem das Thema sehr Deutsch war. 😁
Hey, I really appreciate your comment. A really nice gesture for all the guys out there being brave enough to speak in a foreign language in front of 1.6 million subscribers. Greetings from Germany
@@sirBrouwer do you know if there are companies willing to fund flight school for pilots looking for this kind of work, if yes, what type of company would that be?
Hi! i'mjapanese. your videos is always so interesting, but sometimes, i can't understand it because of my english skills. So, could you please make english subtittles?
The most frustrating thing to me is that neither of you has even a slight accent in English. I studied German in college, never really learned to speak German. How did both of you learn such perfect English?
I worked in Germany for a while and was amazed how many people (especially the younger ones) spoke fluent English. Talking to one of the guys in the office, I asked him about this. He told me that everyone had to become fluent in English before they were allowed to study any other language.
I detected a slight accent and one pronunciation error from the helicopter pilot, but their English is still terrific! I’m always aware of how the whole world makes a point of trying to speak English and how we just expect it. I know English is the official language of aviation and of the internet, the one qualification every pilot needs (I assume this is the case for rotary wing pilots too) but I really wish I could speak any other language as fluently as those two spoke English.
In the future I want to go for my commercial helicopter pilots license. I had originally planned this before the pandemic. But then all those plans fell apart. I had everything ready to go. The only thing that stopping me now is the sheer price of schooling. It is REALLY expensive going through helicopter flight school. I'm in Canada and it starts at about $60,000 to bring you up to your 100 hours. If you want to fly a helicopter that's turbine and not conventional motor? Well you need a turbine endorsement...$10,000 to $15,000 extra, want to fly in the mountains?? Well you need your mountain flight endorsement. And you can expect to pay an extra $10,000 or $15,000 again. Want to fly at night? Well there's a night endorsement. And you guessed it probably an extra $10,000 or $15,000. Pilots are a dying breed. And not enough people are getting into the trade. All the old people will be retiring and there won't be enough people to replace them. But the problem is is they make schooling so damn unattainable and out of reach financially that it makes it very hard to do, unless you go into extreme debt, or are lucky enough to have family to help you. It is always been my dream to be a commercial helicopter pilot. Have wanted it so bad. But with the way that economy is now I'm not too sure if it's something that will happen anytime soon 😢😢
Only an emergency helicopter need the 800 meters of visibility. They are flying low to the ground, so you need the visibility to detect power lines or wind turbines.
@@-TobsA- that makes 100% sense. I was more referring to when he said they won't even take off with less than 800m of visibility. Seems like an excessive rule when all you have to do is go up. Especially since your emergency landing zone may be an hour away where their may be clear sky's. Of course theirs exceptions. still very interesting facts nonetheless.
@@411Adidas here in Germany we have a really dense net of the emergency helicopters. So in the most cases you landing side is not more than 10 minutes of flight time away. So in the most cases if you don't have 800 meters at your base you also don't have 800 meters at your lading spot.
Hello Joe! Returnin because of a duscussion. I remembered. EC135 landing on a highway. Being first on scene and because CPR in progress pilot landed and closed the highway himself. See th-cam.com/video/TnP9sUfwDqo/w-d-xo.html
Please continue to make helicopter-related videos, Captain Joe. I really enjoyed this one. Ironically, the most impressive thing said in this video was that "everyone in Germany has health insurance." Astounding!

7:57 Yey, a footage from me made it into Joe´s video :P
More Helicopter Videos please 😁 I also want to become a Helicopter Pilot and I visited the Station in Ulm as well. It was fascinating!
don't forget the Crews of DRF and all the private Organisations!
Big Respect to all of you!
Commendably complimentary and inclusive content.
You should have changed this to 2-channel mono instead of leaving the voices on opposite sides. It is actually really distracting on headphones with this completely separated stereo sound.
It drives me crazy right now
You should visit Australia and check out the Royal Flying Doctor Service on how they operate an aeromedical service in the Outback.
I would really love to see more videos on helicopters, or other aviation niche’s. Very interesting! 👍🏼
Oh man, this helicopter was one of my childhood. The movie show about this rescues helicopter team was awesome back in the day 🥺🥺
Wonderful video! Even as a frequent aviation video viewer learnt some new things :) And, earned even more respect for the pilot heroes that operate emergency flights.
Very important and needed guys. Thanks for giving us such insights
On a typical EMS system(Emergency Medical Services) its always the ground based responders will arrive at the scene first typically an ambulance, fire truck and police..then upon assessment of the situation, if needed they will now call on air rescue services. (Air ambulance, air cranes, aerial firefighting etc.
Not in Germany.
This makes me even more hyped to eventually get a Commercial helicopter pilote license cuz its my dream job right now.
great interview Captain Joe.
As a HEMS pilot myself I've always wondered how ADAC works and your questions covered almost all of them. Thank you. 👏🏻

3:55 - Sikorsky out of Connecticut (United States) - glad to be living in the state where the CH-53 and many others were built...
But the German ones were build from 1972 to 1975 under license in Germany. Anyway, awesome workhorse the CH53
Great video! We of course would love to see some more Helicopter videos ;-)
More to come with you guys😉
Very nice video ❤ as always what an nice idea. Thank you again for meeting you at the pilot expo 😊

Great video i always love seeing people that can fly airplanes, jets ,or helicopter and i thought it was cool.
Joe, I would love to follow your rotary wing endeavor ! Good luck with that!!
Hello captain Joe, I always support your video and I wish have a day you’re my pilot on my trip fly to Vietnam 😊

Könntest du mal einen Eurofighter piloten Interviewen?
Good job Capt... best wishes for your future plans too... plz post more helicopter videos as helicopters are being covered less than the fixed wing aircrafts in media....
was worth waiting. thank you !
The best helicopter pilots are trained by the military, you will get the best training you can get.
Great Video ! Maybe you could visit Luxembourg Air Rescue at Findel Airport.
Great video. Very informative. Thank you
is it just me, or is the audio on the wrong side?
and no, my headset is right. r on r and l on l
It's good to see that insurance Companies are!not just rip offs and actually pay for expensive services
Very intresting content! Thank you for interviewing ADAC👌👍
I started to learn to fly helicopters when I was 15. Sometimes I wish I had stuck with that as a career, but I can’t change the past. All I can do now is fly the H145 in fight simulator and 3D print myself a cyclic and collective.
Very great video. can you do a video explaining the Helicopter cockpit?
That’s was Brillant thank you 🙏
When you flip/mirror the shot video you should also remember to flip the L/R sound channels
Great video but the sound channels are reversed (Joe you come out on the right and Jens on the left)
Would definitely appreciate more rotary content.
I liked the Video but I wanted to know more about becoming a ADAC Pilot and there were none of these questions.
yes, please more helicopter content
Yes please to more helicopter content! :)
Hadn't enough time left to serve as aircrew on helicopters in Vietnam. Did pass the physical, though. Always wanted to be aircrew.
Maybe you could collab with pilot yellow, I also remember a German female heli pilot who got her training there in Canada - she might be a good interview partner too. Cannot remember her name right now, I think she had a TH-cam channel too.

PLEASE TONS more rotary. I'm a total helo nerd and one of your biggest fans.... so what does that add up to? LOVE your content.
I looove all types of aircraft including helicopters
Triple A is a great auto club but ADAC is King !!!!
nice to live in first world country.

@@chrisr8996 Thank you 🙏
My dream job, unfortunately it's very expensive to get the required flight hours to be even considered for the job.
Hi Joe, how does your 747 rating help you to transfer to a rotary license, or does it?
It gives you credit for some things (weather, navigation, etc.) but you still have to learn to actually fly a helicopter.
From a heli flight instructors perspective I can tell you it's usually much, much harder for the FW guys to convert to rotary than the other way around, there's a lot of habits FW pilots have to actively un-learn first in order to fly choppers, from the miniscule cyclic control inputs needed to things like never pushing your stick forward (esp. during an engine failure).
Nice jacket....would be good to see your top 5 flight jackets and how much they cost and where to get them.
Capitaine Joe you great work I looking every time your TH-cam you great teach God bless you nice😍😍🙏
Hello how are you captain joe
It's lucky that Germans speak English so well.

Do search and rescue
Hello Joe, I have one question, as someone who has no previous helicopter experience (only planes) where would I turn to get into this kind of work?
A helicopter flight school. You really have to relearn about everything flight wise. After that you could try flying for basic a to b flights.
@@sirBrouwer do you know if there are companies willing to fund flight school for pilots looking for this kind of work, if yes, what type of company would that be?
@@Jomexer besides the military I have no clue.
that took a while to wait for this video)
Don't wait with your heli licesne so long 😊
Hi! i'mjapanese. your videos is always so interesting, but sometimes, i can't understand it because of my english skills. So, could you please make english subtittles?

Well you need a turbine endorsement...$10,000 to $15,000 extra, want to fly in the mountains?? Well you need your mountain flight endorsement. And you can expect to pay an extra $10,000 or $15,000 again. Want to fly at night? Well there's a night endorsement. And you guessed it probably an extra $10,000 or $15,000. Pilots are a dying breed. And not enough people are getting into the trade. All the old people will be retiring and there won't be enough people to replace them. But the problem is is they make schooling so damn unattainable and out of reach financially that it makes it very hard to do, unless you go into extreme debt, or are lucky enough to have family to help you. It is always been my dream to be a commercial helicopter pilot. Have wanted it so bad. But with the way that economy is now I'm not too sure if it's something that will happen anytime soon 😢😢
A helicopter needs 800 meters of visibility? Why?
Isn't a 747, 500 meters?
Only an emergency helicopter need the 800 meters of visibility. They are flying low to the ground, so you need the visibility to detect power lines or wind turbines.
@@-TobsA- that makes 100% sense.
I was more referring to when he said they won't even take off with less than 800m of visibility. Seems like an excessive rule when all you have to do is go up. Especially since your emergency landing zone may be an hour away where their may be clear sky's. Of course theirs exceptions.
still very interesting facts nonetheless.
@@411Adidas here in Germany we have a really dense net of the emergency helicopters. So in the most cases you landing side is not more than 10 minutes of flight time away. So in the most cases if you don't have 800 meters at your base you also don't have 800 meters at your lading spot.
Great video Joe, really good insightful questions
