    Great Video with very good explanations! The last example of low RPM during the landing approach on top of a mountain was very impressive. It shows how fast decisions have to be made when the RPM are falling. There is not much time for hesitation. The other pilots in the examples before had much more time and options and altitude but were reacting too late... if at any time. Awareness and knowledge what to do paired with good and fast decision making are the keys to survive and or not crash at all. Thank you!

      Very well said ! Knowledge is key. If you know what to do, there will be no hesitation. 👍🏻

    Staying out of a Robinson, by more than double, the most unstable, finicky, and deadliest certificated helicopter ever mass produced IS LIFE

    G'day,
    Yay Team !
    The fact is that when
    Looking at the Universe through
    A Viewfinder...; ALL
    Photographers
    And ALL Cinematographers,
    Uniformly think and behave and speak
    As if what they are seeing is
    Already
    Safely captured on Film and no more dangerous than a sleeping Pussycat.
    When Pilots accept
    Directions and Instructions from
    Camera-Operators as being
    "Orders" which must be obeyed...
    Then stupid dangerous expensive injurious and deadly consequences
    ROUTINELY
    Eventuate.
    Eventually...
    The fact that the Camera-Personel in the story
    Couldn't be bothered to show up on time, while the Air was sufficiently still and cold for the Flight to be conducted with
    Maximum Safety..., and then they proceeded to
    Dither and prevaricate, indicates, to me, that the
    Correct Decision, as a
    Helicopterist would have been to cancel that day's Flight, while charging a 1-Hour Minimum Charter-Fee for their Late-Arrival - to the recklessly negligent and unprofessional Ego-Trippers intent upon slowly and leisurely taking their Cameras for a Fly...
    And, if that meant that they took their lackadaisical "Busyness" somewhere else...; all that means is that some other Fool gets to risk breaking their Neck and wrecking their Aircraft - while the actually professional Operator gains credibility and enhances their reputation within the Industry.
    Charlie Darwin wrote a book about the phenomenon - it has a whole Chapter concerning
    Survival of the Fittest...
    Obediently bleating,
    "Sir, yes Sir...!"
    while attempting to live up to an
    Idiot's Expectations
    Renders one
    Unfit to try
    To fly
    For a living...
    In my autodidactic little
    Opinion (lol) !
    Such is life,
    Live a good one.....
    Stay safe.
    ;-p
    Ciao !

      Thanks for the reply !
      I was once a young and very keen Aeroplane Detailer at Bankstown Airport at Sydney, after having started out working as a keen young helper for Neil Cottee - whose Biggles Fantasy ran to buying the Bowral Aero Club, leasing the Clubhouse back to them, erecting Hangars and acquiring 2 Tiger Moth's, a Hornet Moth, a 1946 Piper Cub, a Fokker DR-1 replica from California and a Sopwith Pup Replica built at Camden by Transavia...
      Olde Bowral Airfield used to hold Vintage Airshows, as well as we could, under Oz Laws in the 1970s ; the Permit to fly paperwork for a 30-day Permit took 6 weeks to complete, so to cover himself a Tiger Moth was repainted to pretend it was a "Red Baron Pfalz", in case the Triplane got grounded by a missing Semicolon or a smudged Signature ..
      I was the 17 year-old scraping Paint off the Tiger's Wings with Acetone & a Paint-scraper ; and being paid with unofficial Flying Lessons from Neil, in the Pup & the Hornet..., when he had time - being a busy Corporate type
      At the November 1978 Display I met Captain Rosemary Arnold-Harris, proprietor of
      Helicopter Promotions Pty Ltd
      Flying Joyrides in her old Bell-47 J (!) {VH-HHH}.
      A year later at Bankstown we met again when I'd tried Aircraft Detailing, moved up to Assembling, got laid off in the Avgas Crisis, and it was either go selling Joyrides with Rosemary or eke out a living as a freelance Artist selling Aeroplane Portraits in the Aero-Club Bar.
      So I went Barnstorming when I was 18.
      Rosemary was the first woman in Oz to hold a Commercial Rotary-Wing Ticket, she'd flown DC-3s in Indonesia, and was Copilot on the first Civilian Turbine Helicopter to fly coast to coast across the USA (Hughes-500) in about 1968 ; and we were using an Enstrom F-28c, registered VH-IYR...
      Eventually the Avgas Crisis got us too, the Enstrom was being leased and it's owner's break-even point was 30 hours per month, when we could only get fuel for 30 hours per month...
      So, IYR was sold off to go mustering Cattle in Queensland, the owner put his money in the bank (Interest Rates were 15% back then), and at the time there was work for 45 Choppers in the Sydney Basin with only 40 Helicopters in the area - so Rosemary couldn't access an Airframe.
      But, I'd spent about 5 months selling Tickets, refuelling, scouting Locations to deliver Santa-Clause, loading Passengers filling out and lodging Flight-Plans, Navigating on Cross-Country Ferry-Flights, washing & polishing the Helicopter all on $50/wk retainer + 10% of the Joyride Ticket Price..., and Rosemary only charged me $40 to board at her house, couch-surfing unless one of her (3) daughter's was staying away in which case I camped in their room.
      I learned much, regarding many things...; and being young and keen - I learned it pretty well...
      If you're into the Autodidactic end of playing with Anti-Gravity devices, and Levitation Machinery (lol !), then please do feel free to backtrack me to my "Personal Aeroplanology..."
      Playlist...
      At one point the Civil Aviation Safety Authority liked my views on a safer way to Aerotow launch Rogallo Hang-Gliders, that Bill Moyes was told that
      My methods had been
      "Mandated as Industry Standard"...; and for a serious giggle, try
      "National Transportation Museum ; Visiting My First Aeroplane...!"
      They keep it safely chained to the Ceiling, least anyone ever tried to levitate in it again...; I was it's 3rd Owner, after Neil Cottee..., and I'm the last person who ever flew it.
      Wilbur & Orville had a better Aeroplane, in 1903, than what took me for my first Solo when I was 17.
      Back in the dayze when the World was young, kinda thing (!).
      So, yeah, I used to work for a blonde lady Helicopterist who worked in a
      Gold Lame Flying Suit, sporting the biggest most complicated Wristwatch on the market - 5 Dials and a Macready-Ring Flight-Plan Computer around the Tachymeter's Bezel...
      And, well, look in the mirror, kinda thing...; it pleases me to be supportive, because you remind me of Rosemary...
      And, I still have - and occasionally wear, a Robinson R-22 T-Shirt with the Heliflight Logo, from 1979 when I worked out that the figures could be massaged to make a R-22 appear to be cheaper per passenger-mile than a Holden Statesman or Ford LTD, operating as an Executive Transport...
      So I like the Robinsons you use, as well...
      Such is life,
      Live a good one...
      Stay safe.

    Maybe there should be a AI take over engine and control management for fast safe result in case of low rpm ..😮.

    Thank you for making this. Low RPM is by far the most significantly dangerous out of all the other types of accidents...
