- This is a video for pilots moving tot he R44 from the R22 or just starting flying in the R44. I hope this helps point out the things that need to be looked for and how to check them.

Best review ever. Thanks for all the detailed explanations.
Thanks for the help. This is exactly what I needed as I begin my R44 Transition from flying turbines. Robinsons are simpler yet still have their own way of doing things. Thanks again!
No Problem
Early the most complete best pre flight my instructor rushed me through and here I never remember the throttle link
No problem. Glad its here to look back on.
This video is so helpful. Thank you!
Just what I need, thank you for the amazing video!
Great help ! Best from Poland !
Oh man thats awesome to hear! Have fun a nd stay safe!!
Thank you for this detailed video!
Stepping up the mast: It explicitly says NOT to step on the side wall of the rear under seat compartments. I therefore assumed that one is indeed supposed to rather stand on the seat cushion (to better distribute one’s weight).
Clutch belt: Thanks for the tip how to turn the belts to inspect. You only inspected the outside of the belts. Shouldn’t one be more concerned with the inside of the belts (the side that is in contact with the sheaves), which you can see on the opposite side?
Alternator: You checked the AC belt. When I am under the aircraft I also check the alternator belt the same way as you did for the AC belt. And I check that the earth cable to the alternator is secure (the cable with the white rubber boot) and that the lug (hiding inside that boot) is not malleable or broken. If that cable, or the belt, goes you end up with an ALT failure. Which is as bad (putting it mildly) as a AC failure because with no ALT you have to switch off the AC anyway to preserve battery power. Out of the non-essential loads to shed in such an emergency, the electric AC fans are probably the biggest electrical loads you have in an R44, besides TPX and landing lights.
Perfect video! Just what I needed to remind myself where everything is whilst I get ready for the type rating!
waaw, thank you so much for your video, it helped me a lot!!!!
nataliederaedt1 happy it to help. Fly safe
@@UnbeGleavable thanks!!
Very cool mate, do the engine start and run up when you get a chance
as an instructor, must say you should point out the push to test bus bar so students can identify what buttons your pushing...
Thank you so much that’s very nice video ive learned a lot.
Nice pre-flight well done!!
I realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Javier Miguel I use FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Ameer Talon yup, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :)
@Ameer Talon thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Javier Miguel glad I could help xD

Smaller world. I recognized this hanger looking at the office in the back. I did some training in the R44 with Peter and AS350 with Gary in April 2018. Actually flew N344SA. Awesome experience, awesome instructors. Looking forward to my next trip. I realize this was done in 2016,but are you still with CH??
No I was there in 2014 to 2016. But yes CH is great miss the guys there
At 40:10, check out how close the stainless steel braided Teflon hose is to the exhaust pipe. Also, the inspector pointed out that there was a small exhaust leak from the band clamp. In the video that leak appears to be pointed at the hose.
These band clamps all seem to leak a bit and have short-ish lives.
I am curious about the lack of heat shielding on the exhaust pipes where other items that are vulnerable pass over them.
Is there a lot of air circulation when the vehicle is in operation and the air flow renders shielding unnecessary?
That hose would be better a bit longer, with a long radius 45 degree end.
I don't know anything about these helicopters. As an older person, though, it is a head scratcher to look at the extensive use of plastic tie straps to hold stuff together.
Coming back to the stainless steel braided Teflon hose (SSBH), these hoses can last a very long time, but they do not tolerate vibration induced chafing. Thus, tie strapping to parts like the intake pipe, which vibrates quite a bit, as opposed to insulated P-clamps and brackets used to be how this kind of routing was done. Over time, without some insulation over the SSBraided hose, say a piece of cheap fuel hose tie wrapped to the SSBH where it is tie strapped to the intake tube seems a better way to do it.
And of course, brackets break and P-clamp insulation deteriorates over time.
Hey man to be honest I don't fly these aircraft anymore. But Ill be sure to take a look if I do.
Thank you!
No prob
Excellent thanks ! 100 % 👍🏼
Show the components you are looking at. We can't see...
John W. Ryon IV sorry man I did the best I could at the time. If I make a new one I’ll make sure I fix those issues
You forgot to adjust the camera back down after you rotated it up when looking inside.
Sounds like you mis-spoke about the "telatemp" sticker. They are: Irreversible descending temperature recording labels. The windows will turn irreversibly black when exposed to the rated temperature. Nothing to do with oil leaks.
To be honest I'd have to go back and watch the video.
What I was saying is checking for leaks on the hydro pump. I reference the teletemps and without pause I moved to talking about oil leaks on the hydrolics
Every driver should check their car like this before every engine start including sumping fuel tank. Absolutely ridiculous how much preparation time manufacturer requires to operate their product.

Can you link med to the SN that reffers to draining the sumplines? i cant find it, need to plaster it all over the FlightSchool I'm at. Thanks!
Man I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it. But I'll try
Het wich safety notice talks about clear fuel line after draining?
Oh man let me find it. I don't exactly remember its been awhile
well this show, so show, not that what Zhenya-Helicopter!
Thinking of a career as a pilot, what do you think is best? Fixed Wing or Helicopter?
Ahh man thats a tuff one! Have you flown either yet?
This inspection takes 40 minutes. Should it be performed before every flight or only once a day?
this was done while trying to explain everything. You can do this in 15 min once you know what you are looking for
James Dunn I’d say at the beginning of the day, plus every time you walked away from the parked aircraft, including somebody else was flying.
hello greetings from tamaulipas MEXICO I do not speak english I understand but through gooogle translator you show your video imepregunto open a helicopter Rovinson with a cost of one 40 thousand dollars precooked of those helicopters that suffer accidents isrepared
with about 2500 hours of bullfighting or of three 3500 hours of bullfighting conose of those wings sale boi united states atrabajar to the cut of the mansana and the durrasno
2020 2021 great video but pity a lot of the time the camera wasn’t on the areas you spoke about
