Scenario: Two hikers want to go to a place they visited in the winter time at 8,000 feet altitude. When you scheduled them last week, the temperature was 20 degrees forecasting 25 degrees for today. The actual temperature at 1,000 (29.92) this morning is 28 degrees, however the afternoon is forecast to be 35 degrees. How do you calculate your trip? Will you be able to take your customers to their destination safely? How do you advise your customers on their risks for picking them up? I LOVE your videos!!!
I'm currently learning in Colorado, so we are getting 8000ft+ density altitude quite often... We got 38 C last week and I had to call a no-go, as it pushed the DA over 9000.... But I'm loving flying and learning in a difficult environment, as it forces me to really utilize good techniques, like going carefully and methodically from ETL into ground effect. I love watching these videos to supplement my learning and further drill in the knowledge, and I really hope I can make it up there to fly someday, especially with the incredible scenery and all that power to spare! Keep up the great work!
@M- What model Heli are you training in? Just curious, I'm in Vegas and with the temps routinely getting over 40C this time of year everyone is getting up a bit earlier than we'd like just to get in some flying before it gets too hot.
@@autom7134 we've got 3 R22's, one of which struggles for power... DA yesterday was 9179 which meant hovering at all would be tough. Certainly, beating the heat helps a lot!
I will turn 57 yrs young in August .my dream is to keep working hard ,saving money( I'm doing that by living in my 18 wheeler)👍 in order to take time off and go stay near you guys to get my helicopter training and license with y'all!!!👌 Around how much money would I need and how long would it take average!?!?!?🙏
Something you have to worry about here in Melbourne Australia (winter at the moment here). We sit in summer mid to high 20s average but can have spikes into the 40s. First solo in a helicopter next week by the looks here for me.
@@charltonpepper5317 Melbourne Heli out of Essendon. I tried also flying out of companies out of Moorabbin but Melbourne Heli seemed to have a real heavy focus on getting you to know the topics inside and out.
I buddy hope you are well. It sounds like you will be better off flying at night when it cools down a bit. What's the temperature like at 8PM could you do a bit of flying before dark or up to midnight. Take care and happy flying buddy. You might be better off moving back to the UK so I can see you again and if you have the time you could teach me. Take care and keep safe happy flying buddy phil.
Turbo Normalized Helos? Have no effect on blade compression in warm air. But doesn't lose horsepower. I am glad the Gyroplane guys developed the teeter system to allow the helicopter to be born. Great Helis like the UH-1 Huey. My Uncle graded and went to Hiller to work on designing helis. But put on the only Airplane Hiller ever made. He went on Lockheed disappointed he never got to design a helicopter.
My Son and I played Disc golf in Big bear lake California this weekend for father's day. ( Happy father's day Misha BTW) I totally saw density altitude affect my discs. Needed more pop tops. Lol 🥏⛳
Engine or blades? Density wise…. Blades do better on cold air because there’s more of it(air)? You can’t see air but if you could, I take from this that on a colder day blades rise itself from air. Please correct me if I’m wrong I don’t fly but through your channel I pretend I can.
Question I think it would be different if it was a Jet Turbine ,it operates different than a Piston Engine regards Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
No not really. External temps have little to do with performance. Warmer air is less dense, takes more energy to maintain lift than in cooler air. Most engines are designed to work fine in normal temps (0-110 degrees Fahrenheit).
Sun itself does NOT effect performance. Temperature and density altitude does. I don't get the title of this video. The answer is that it doesn't. It's sunny in the Arctic.

Fly in the UK, if we can take off we can land anywhere..

@@miller745 yeah but there's no mountains 😕 (not that I'm capable to fly them yet anyway)....

We've got Ben Nevis at a staggering 4412ft :D :D
And ... god bless your son who say dada ... i love him ... fan from Algeria.
Just wondering, what's the deal with the perforations in the tail rotor blades? A manufacturing artefact perhaps.

im in melb too! where are you doing your training?
i was just thinking about how how it gets down here too haha

Technical question: What solution or spray do you use to clean (bugs, durt) off of windshield and plastiglass?
Thanks.
I fly Helos and fixed wing in AZ.....118 degrees last week in an MD520n.....Let me tell you about heat and performance...lol

Misha, I use Gyronimo W&B app for R44 etc. Is the Cabri version available on the App Store?
Yes it is. It’s great
what a cute son!

this one in particular is awsome - Hudson deserves some residuals ! ha ha ha
Great input!
Why did they depart w doors ajar?
I love the Orange helicopter
Must have been warm that day. Everybody has doors open on take-off.
Please do a colab video with Trent Palmer!
Love from india,mangaluru
That’s so cool 🥰🥰
Hello! Cool man,could you add the subtitles? Thank you,from foreigner
makes me want to learn to fly
OK next video, how does rain affect performance?
Does anybody know what model/brand these helicopters are?
Guimbal Cabri G2
@@ericonline7 Thank you!!
Solo out going!
It all comes down to air density
Love the video! My kids yells out every time they see a helicopter or a plane; Daddy's helicopter!! Or Daddy's plane! (PS: I don't have any of those)
I didn't know one man can pull a helicopter. Small toys for big boys
morning my friend
Top of the morning to ya!

It's sunny in the Arctic.
Temperature is king bro.....
Hello sir how are you
I m Sandeep from india
I m Deepsan from Indiana
Why do they left the door open when fly ?!
We can place the door on a short but very strong string. Helps let airflow go in the cab on hot days!
