It still astonishes me on how good many MD500 pilots are, and to think on how it reminds me of the 160th SOAR and these types of landings on ledges is just purely amazing. I highly doubt any small helicopter could perform this type of job, I would love to continue to see the Little Bird legacy to continue for decades to come, it has really earned a long living legacy.
Uh, that's awesome. Thanks for a great upload. As a young'in, the Hughes 500C was my favorite Helicopter. Some generations later, the MD530 still has a place in my heart.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!! Especially for not overdubbing a soundtrack, the 5-blade rotor head and the Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine is a symphony in itself. Absolutely incredible piloting skill, man and machine are as one.
A slopped landing on one skid and just sit there like it’s nothing…. For those who don’t know, this is serious skill in a small helicopter. Had to eat it twice - 👏 💪🏼
No music. I have waited years to say that :) Thanks The skids are so stable, no movement or wobble at all. Is this just a brilliant pilot or the 500 in general do we think? Having watched many other similar vids, I can't say I have ever seen such stable precision from a heli. Amazing
Awesome work, and thanks for keeping the shutter speed right so the main rotor blades look correct!!! Most video producers don't take that into consideration and the blades either spin the wrong direction, or in slo-mo... lol. 👍
@@FMK_media if I wasn’t 6ft 2” with a bad back, I’d put this one down as my all time favourite ships also? Compared to the BH206 and Astar, it was the best little bird to fly into confined areas, toe-in/hover exits, long lining and overall aerial work. It’s like an agile sports car that could pull stumps out of the ground all day long however, when you’ve been in the game for +25 years, things like comfort, range and power starts to take priority? In that respect, it’s hard to beat a Eurocopter AS-350 B3 or whatever they call them nowadays? It’s the Cadillac Escalade to this Ferrari Testarossa 😊
Incredible!, do you think you could possibly post some un-edited footage from that Arizona 530F vid? the first one you posted. Seeing the Garmin setup is really amazing.
Nope, just gives a more stable platform for the person to climb on and makes for less compensation for the pilot to counteract the on or off going weight.
After the OH6, Commercial 500s originally had a front middle seat option so the PIC sat on the left so the permanent collective is near the door. You can still order them right hand PIC if you want tho. Left seat is ideal for utility work and this type of flying tho, as it’s easier to lean out the door and the collective is right there below you.
I have a issue with the last pickup, The helicopter approach the hill facing into the hill , with the pickup up hill and in front of the helicopter. Wouldn't you want the pickup off to the side and maybe slightly down hill from the helicopter before approaching the helicopter and the rotorblades with a higher ground clearance.?
That’s a toe-in and yes the approach to load was from the side of the helicopter well below the rotor disc. Part of that video clip he walked around at a distance above the rotor just to give perceptive for the video. You would never approach from up hill. 👍
K I need these guys to drop me off on perfect rocks for fly fishing. Takes me back to fighting forest fires in the mountains from a Hughes 500 when I was a teenager.
Putting a skid onto something rooted, is ideal for someone heavy climbing onboard, no need to compensate for a dipping skid due to weight transfer, just sit the skid on something planted.
I’m the pilot in gta 5. When my friends are stuk on mount chilliad. I came in and hover barely touching the ground on 1 side and than tell them to jump in.
I worked with The Gwinnett County Sheriffs Dept. Years ago. Gwinnett PD had some of the finest pilots back then. I am sure that they are still some of the finest. Gwinnett County Ga. is or was a great place to live. Now that the Democrats have taken over, not so much.
@@MR35th-890 I was just saying that it was a great beautiful place to live. Then the Dems came in, raised taxes, inmates get released the same to next day even for serious offenses that they would have to bailout on, now just get released after promising to go to court, which most don’t. They commit new crimes pretty much out the gate and get released again. You are right, I went from praising our PD brothers to political view. I do apologize. I should have stayed on topic. I just hate to see a great county go downhill. I would not call it childish though. Thank you for your honest response! 😁
prova a poggiare entrambi i pattini in pendenza e vedrai quanto cambia il discorso --provaci con una ripida pendenza laterale e potrai allora ricevere un applauso --così è troppo facile e sappi che te lo permette il rotore articolato e non semirigido
Are you just a troll or actually a jealous pilot that doesn’t have this sort of skill level? Some of us have don’t this work for a long time, safely. Go back to your straight and level and leave the real work to the pros.
Too late it's one of the worst helicopters they ever built the only thing they use them for now is better back helicopters and cops use it but it's still one of the worst helicopters built p still one of the worst helicopters ever built special forces use it Air Force reconnaissance may be seals use that cops take cops use it and they use it for many back and fire department still one of the worst helicopters they ever built sorry helicopter can't over load it fire department ship island cargo long no good better back sMed mash helicopter good for only for hospital use only they're good for unit good as a matter of back

Yes we love MD Helicopters from old Germany.
The helo is just a masterpiece, unique in its kind.
Awesome. Thanks for not putting music.

The control touch that this guy has is amazing!!! 😳
Undeniable talent as a pilot, great job
Damn, that's some outstanding piloting and teamwork by the dismount. I start heli transition training in a couple weeks. Absolutely stoked!
Good luck buddy!
@@heraclitus6100 Thanks! Really appreciate it!!
How did it go?
@@jnblawnandlandscapellc Earned my rotary PPL about a month ago. Working on my rotary instrument now! Thanks for asking!!
@@VictoryAviation Awesome! I'm trying to find time for my ppl.
I’m 57 years old, but the minute I see shit like this, I’m instantly 8 years old again!
So cool!
This looks like Fredericksburg, BA!
That’s why I love the MD-500
That looks like sooo much fun!
- hey wait a minute!!! Showing me cool helicopter videos was how you got me to join the Army. I remember YOU. lol
Quality aircraft, and quality training = safe operations 👍🙏 Never get in a hurry 🙏

Bad Ass!! Kudos for not adding the usual death metal music. Oyf
Excellent!!!, perfect coordination indeed!
What a skill. And a beautiful machine.
Oh how I’ve missed seeing vids like this. Can’t wait for more bro!!
Filmed too much in portrait/vertical last year 😆 On a mission to fix it this year for more TH-cam stuff 👍
awesome flying, love the helicopter noise.
Great vid. Excellent flying
this is so amazing with no music covering up !!!!!!!! wow i will subscribe
The sound of the 530 is sooooooo good
Awesome work, and thanks for keeping the shutter speed right so the main rotor blades look correct!!! Most video producers don't take that into consideration and the blades either spin the wrong direction, or in slo-mo... lol. 👍
That is incredibly accurate flying.
Sick, would love to be back flying the 500 again. Best machine out there.
After flying a few other airframes now, I agree! Love the 500!
@@HeliWrk Yes its the best. The ones who doesnt understand never learnt how to operate it properly :D
@@FMK_media Agreed, the 500 is not only my favorite to fly, but also the one I've felt most in control of.

No music, I clicked immediately.
Awesome stick control.
Thay guy is as smooth as butter. Good piloting 👍
Great to see the practice.
BROTHER , THANK YOU. LEST WE FORGET,,,,,,,, SOME GAVE ALL.
Awesome skill!
Thanks!

I’ll take a look thru my other hard drive and see if I have any good video of using the glass panel 👍
@@HeliWrkAwesome! no need to really show using it just general flying and stuff like you did in that vid. the Howell ECIAS is also really neat.
Smooth heli and pilot - try that on a windy day in a Robinson R22 ;-)
beautiful flying.is the skid touch main reason to eliminate any static electricity?
Nope, just gives a more stable platform for the person to climb on and makes for less compensation for the pilot to counteract the on or off going weight.
Now this is just bad freakin ass, right here🚁🚁🚁!!! Thankya ya'll for sharing with the Hughes MD-500👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Skills 👏 🚁

This pilot is a god
I envy them pilots, great skill. Love them 500s...
nice work ;) so smooth...
1:37 holy fuck that's insane !
素晴らしいテクニックです！
You make it look easy.
So awesome! How come you sit left seat in this helo?
After the OH6, Commercial 500s originally had a front middle seat option so the PIC sat on the left so the permanent collective is near the door. You can still order them right hand PIC if you want tho. Left seat is ideal for utility work and this type of flying tho, as it’s easier to lean out the door and the collective is right there below you.
Talk about skills.
I live in Clayton county is there any way to see this thing in person one day?
I love these little birds so much. Screw having a private chauffeur, like.
I have a issue with the last pickup,
The helicopter approach the hill facing into the hill , with the pickup up hill and in front of the helicopter.
Wouldn't you want the pickup off to the side and maybe slightly down hill from the helicopter before approaching the helicopter and the rotorblades with a higher ground

Pure skill!
PILOT: You want me to set it down where now?
ALSO PILOT: OHHHHHHH on the edge of that? (15 seconds later) SAY LESS!!!!
AWESOME JOB!
Totally cool!
The "electric olive" is one badass bird!!
Subbed, keep the new helicopter footage coming
AWESOME!
That was cool.
A good pilot. The heli does not even shake one millimeter
So i apply for skid workers where?
Use to do stump jumps like this when I was helicopter logging gotta move slow tho so the pilot can correct for the weight
K I need these guys to drop me off on perfect rocks for fly fishing. Takes me back to fighting forest fires in the mountains from a Hughes 500 when I was a teenager.
Just BAD ASS!!!!
Smooth! 😉
Thanks! I get lucky every once in a while
Noisy little fellah.
Thank You No Music!!!!!!
BADASS

Pro all the way.
Those moments when you pray your engine doesn’t flame out.
☠BLACK BARON☠ That's ... training ... training ... training. 👍
Nice..

They’re just practicing for those Dunkin’ Donuts landings.
Smells like Ranger play time 😂
