Good evening captain, thank you for your video. I have always wanted to fly helicopters was not able to get the help to do so. Your videos and others sort of help me fulfill my dream. I learn a lot from you. Are the two levers overhead your throttle or power controls? I notice you do not touch them, are they set or does the fadec system set the power, please let me know. Thank you. I was a chef on rigs before and a flight never came to my rig without me saying thank you by providing lunch or dinner for the flight crew. Looking at your videos brings up these fond memories in me.
@@larryalexander4385 thanks a lot for your very kind comment. The levers you see are indeed throttles. We call them “ECL” Engine Control Levers. They are however not used in normal situations. Only when the automatic engine controls fail we can use them to keep the engines (and rotor RPM) in control. I hope this makes sense 🤗.
Thank you for the video commander, I would like to be able to explain the TDP and LP parameters and a video configuring the MFD, how to adjust the HDG, altimeter adjustment, etc.
Great video, Chris! Quick question: The rotor brake is something you are required to use everytime? or it's just on some situations? Cheers from Norway!
Thanks for the question, The rotor brake is only used on shut down after the flight. When the engines are on, the rotor brake is inhibited and wont work.
Another great video. I'm not a pilot but have flown some in helicopters. Do they not allow you to take off directly from the pad? I have never been on a helicopter when we had to taxi to runway. I'm sure this is a silly question but just curious. Keep posting!
@@brutus7319 thanks for your comment! Actually quite simple… the orange one is the new colour 😬. My yellow one passed the test still… and therefore no new suit for me 😑
Excellent sterile cockpit throughout. No chit chat. Interesting that the co pilot calls the item and you respond with status rather than co pilot calling item and required status and you simply confirming.
@@mateusbrasil646 we have a “PI” (Power Index) that indicates the actual power required. (usually torque) and we have a target “PI” for each specific profile that we perform
Mais um vídeo didático, muito obrigado, bons voos Comandante!!!
Thanks!! Really appreciate your nice comment
Great video, in was often one of the guys in the back going offshore but been a rotary flight fan for decades.
@@paulgreen2220 cool! Thanks for your comment 🤗
Great video! Always interesting to see you're work!
Thanks a lot for your nice comment!

@@mateusbrasil646 thanks for your input! I think I’ll make a short video soon on some of that in the hangar… so I can show it in the cockpit 🤗
If you could also show how communication and navigation frequency changes are carried out, as well as showing how to configure the route in the FMS
@@mateusbrasil646 I’ll make a video in the future on the FMS indeed
Great video Chris.. would love if you could make this video again but give a brief description of each checklist item!
@@g-sailing4427 thanks for your input! I’m planning on making a Video on checks. Don’t know how extensive yet… but it’s a very good idea
Great video!
Thank you so much!!
Always enjoy your films could you explain your sop calls such as TDP and a like and what parameters you are having to meet to make the call 😉
@@chrismobi45 thanks for your input! I think I’ll make a small video soon on calls and checks 🤗

@@robynchapman9288 thanks for your nice comment! We always ground taxi to the runway…
Very interesting! Why do the suits have a different colour?
@@brutus7319 thanks for your comment! Actually quite simple… the orange one is the new colour 😬. My yellow one passed the test still… and therefore no new suit for me 😑
@@helichrisPA28 Haha ok, I thought it might have to do with ranking :)
Great stuff Chris! Do you guys use a ScanFlow, or is everything checklisted?
@@nizza594 thanks a lot!! We have a scan flow indeed. And then we “come together “ in the checklist afterwards 🤗
@@helichrisPA28 awesome! Just about to start line training on the 139 and getting to grips with Scan Flow, which is completely new to me! 😅😅
@ cool!! Have fun! You’ll love the 139 🤗💪

@@simonkynaston6751 thanks for your nice comment!
And lastly, is the hovering torque parameter displayed on the MFD or is a calculation performed before the flight?
@@mateusbrasil646 we have a “PI” (Power Index) that indicates the actual power required. (usually torque) and we have a target “PI” for each specific profile that we perform
👌🏻👏👏👏👏👏
@@raycarter6037 thanks for your comment 🤗
can you do a video of full day at work please
Thanks for your comment! I’ll see if I can make a “day in the life” video 🤗
thank you!
I would appreciate to see the post landing and shutdown procedure as well, and walk around 🚁
thanks again for such nice videos!
