    I lovee the fact that the pilot is explaining everything. He doesn't say; "well this is irrelevant so I'll keep my mouth shut".
    Give us more of this Nick. Here, have my like.

      Brock Henry the Robinson doesn't crash a lot. The people in control of it does.

    • @tylerw1418
      @tylerw1418 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The helicopter rarely is the cause. Pilot error is. I love flying the Robinson as much as the bell 206. Better tail rotor authority in the Robinson.

    That pilot made many comments true of an exceptional pilot. Aircraft knowledge, harness off for fast evac, door open listening, viewing the platform on lift off, controls in control at all times, always thinking ahead, and more. I would feel very safe with him at the controls.

    Andrew is one of the most laid back pilots I know, he was my flight instructors way back in 2007 when I got my PPL, A very knowledgeable guy who explains everything to you and is fun to fly with, safe flying Andrew.

    A-bit late (actually really late, hehe) As an Ex-Helicopter pilot (HU-BH), I find the 407 to be a stunning work of art. I left the industry as the Montreal team introduced the 407 back in the day. Andrew has an outstanding procedure for his start-ups and I learned something new here, very professional approach and the way I approached the machines I flew. Thank you Andrew (and Nick) enjoy learning new things. :) NC

    amazing how smooth that is even on a clear day. When I did my intro flight in the R44 it felt like I was constantly fighting the wind horribly and it was relatively calm with a steady breeze with some gusts.

  • @hunterprosise6877
    @hunterprosise6877 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm a volunteer firefighter from Tennessee and we have life star units that are this same aircraft, I know from experience that these helicopters will navigate the toughest terrain and can land almost anywhere, and on top of that they just sound badass when there coming from the horizon

  • @flymachine

    I design helicopter liveries and interiors for mostly the corporate sector and I must say in the 407 world the zigzag is dominant so this scheme is very refreshing and very well thought out/clever, compliments the airframe strikingly.

    What a coincidence! I live in Brazil and have been around Nick Murray's channel for some years. When in NY three months ago, I flew a tour trip exactly with this guy, Andrew Woods! He even did let me take the front seat of the sistership N79ZA because I was helicopter private pilot by the time. Again, what a coincidence!

    Just flew in a 407 for the first time today. Much nicer than the usual 206 I find myself in occasionally. Was rough in the winter winds up here in Yellowknife, but not nearly as much as the 206.

  • @ThatBobGuy850
    @ThatBobGuy850 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    1) I used to be of the same mind about not strapping in during the start. However over the years I've changed my philosophy on that and now I make sure I'm securely strapped-in *ANY* time the blades are turning. If I have to bail, I'm confident that I can get the seatbelt released quickly. Different strokes for different folks though.
    The very recent (January 2019) ground accident in which a Bell 230 got into some weird rotor oscillations during startup that resulted in the death of a man outside of the aircraft (perhaps the PIC!) underscore for me the fact that a helicopter rotor is *always* a dangerous thing even when turning "slowly" (i.e. less than 100%). Not a time to be thrown about the cockpit because you're unrestrained when the rotor starts doing the funky chicken as it comes up to idle. Just my opinion...
    2) All that jibber-jabber on takeoff caused the PIC to miss *two* calls from Caldwell Tower. Good thing that pipeline patrol pilot was looking out for you guys! Nick, you need to learn to talk less during critical phases of flight. The PIC should've told you to hush-up (and he should have as well).
    3) One of my pet peeves is checklist usage. Yeah, the 407 is a fairly simple helicopter. But we dumb pilots are only human and we forget things. Obviously the PIC did too, because just before pulling pitch he stops and then reaches up and flips a switch on the overhead panel (avionics master?!). I hear you ask: "Hey Mr. Perfect, haven't *you* ever forgotten anything?" Hell yeah! Especially when I don't use a checklist in a "simple" aircraft. That's what checklists are for.
    Having made those criticisms, I have to say it was a pretty good overview of the 407! As a lifelong 206 pilot, it sure would be nice to have something where power isn't really an issue. 300 pounds per hour isn't even that bad! Great aircraft :)

    Mr. Woods is the business. This was your best heli review I think Nick. I'm not a big fan of the 206 platform, but I must admit Bell has really stepped up their game it seems. Can you do a "Top Gear" head to head tour helicopter comparison with Clarkson doing a guest cameo? I think I would probably still rather be in an EC120 or EC135.

  • @PTRRanger951
    @PTRRanger951 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    They upgraded this aircraft to a huge S-76 now. That N number is assigned to an S-76 photos show it with ZIP Aviation on it, but the registration shows it as owned by N76ZA LLC.

    • @joanwoods1105
      @joanwoods1105 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Correct ! N76za was moved to an s76 . The 407 then became n79za and was sold to a Police Dept in California in June 2021.

  • @ec-jf1fc
    @ec-jf1fc 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This guy is a very thorough and knowledgable pilot, Zip should be proud of him. Also Nick, you always forget to include cost and most important, operating cost per hour; huge factor in the cost and ownership of any aircraft. That 407 cost per hour is probably 600 bucks an hour compared to a 206 at $450 a flight hour.

  • @MrCorm37

      @shaunlionudakis8251 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      P2nkzSB comes with the territory your taught to relax you have to be in case of emergency you have to be able to think and react kinda like a black belt in martial arts
      Plus think about it instead of sitting in traffic you get into a chopper and laugh as you fly over them
      Some say arrogant pilots are I say we walk a little taller 😉

    • @JackFN_VR64
      @JackFN_VR64 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @flymachine
      @flymachine 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't recall being trained to relax specifically but it's inherent in the type of procedures and repetition training a pilot goes through... and panicking in an evaluation would likely fail you so it's more a character trait honed through procedures and repetition, a panicky, impulsive personality wouldn't, or let me say shouldn't get through initial training, even if he/she does that kind of person would not last long with most operators. Also, spinny-wing jocks smoke a ton of weed.

    @ibribeh8547 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question. I am not a pilot. I would like to ask why was his hand not on the throttle from 22:09- and on? Does the governor just take care of that? I noticed in the 206 people generally kept their hand on the collective. And I didn't know that it would be so rigid. I thought you always had to have your hand on it. Or is it just in the 407 it's like that?

    • @NickMurray
      @NickMurray  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Almost all helicopters manage the throttle via a governor but most pilots keep their hands on the collective at all times in case of engine problems as the stick needs to be lowered fast. In larger aircraft like this one you have a few more seconds so you can take your hand of the collective.

    My father was the chief pilot for South Florida water management and they flew two 407's that replaced there a Stars after the helicopter crash. also had a bell jet Ranger floats to land in the swamp. also a King Air to fly governing board members. 407 was one of my favorite helicopters to fly in I also like to the belll 412, it was like a huey on steroids. also the Sikorsky s-76. Greg Norman used to and keep his helicopter at the same FBO. father was best friends with his helicopter pilot and the s-76 reminded me of Airwolf.

    Just a question for all the rotor heads out there, Im a retired A&P, and Ive noticed a few engine failures with the 407 helicopter which realistically, could be a lot of different things and maybe it's no more than the original Bell 206, but do you guys think they've stretched the Allison 250's design just a little too far in regards to horsepower or not.

    @3:20 I believe I'd replace that red hose and check out the other rubber hoses on that craft.

    Hey Nick another really good video. You really stepped up from the 206 on this flight. I will be subscribing.

      No that was such a big drama to organize I likely will not do it again for a year or so.

    Great video! Very detailed and informative, I even saw the red "remove before flight" tag behind the pilot's shirt! Wait wait...!!!! How come he didn't remove his shirt before flight???

    I see it has inflatable floats, you should do a course in escaping a submerged aircraft, if you do any over water flying.

    Next to my gf and our dog there's two things in life I love... Bimmers and Helicopters .. You do both.. I'm jealous (in a damn I want to do that as well kind of way) :) Thanks for the review great info and a beautiful bird!

      Two things that are hard to have if you fly helicopters are a girlfriend and a dog. This pilot seems lucky to have what seems a more predictable schedule and hopefully be home every night. My dogs passed away and so far I managed to keep my wife so I am lucky. I have a bike too but I rarely get to go on any tours because summer is fire season. The flying part is very interesting and challenging but the lifestyle is very unpredictable.
