Great startup demo/tutorial!. The 206 will always be the iconic helicopter for me!. I often wondered how difficult it was to start, and how it was done!.

Excellent step by step run through of a 206L startup and shutdown. Best I've ever seen. Many others skip a lot of the details - you covered everything! Congratulations.
That was so informative, yet somehow I'm reconsidering taking helicopter lessons out of Manchester City Airport in a 206 now. My brain is fried from all these terms!
Cleanest panel I have ever seen. I loved the "Don't Touch the Glass." Maintenace must be top notch! Best detailed procedure ever. I thought I was the only one that wrote reminder times on my watch hand. 😁 Military during the 70's, grease pencil was the norm for notes on the plexiglass. You definitely get an A+.
Best and most clearly stated instructions I've seen. So many details have been left out of the other peoples instructions that I've seen, but you do an excellent job of staying on the checklist. Thanks.
I'd say the best and most detailed explanation I have seen yet. Learnt about the two clicks of the idle release and the slight lifting of collective during shutdown. Brilliant. Shame about the pointless music but I just have to accept that is becoming the norm .
When I was a kid I love helicopter so need to take notes some preflight checklist, engine starter, and then engine shutdown.. I love to fly the helicopter 🚁.
You are a good (IP)! I was in US Army Aviation in 1978, was in the Army Crew Chief training program at Ft. Rucker, AL but changed my MOS, and now I wish I had continued my training, so I could eventually become a Bell Huey Pilot at some point. Too old now, bad vision and reflexes aren't what they use to be. Good Luck in your career!!!
Excellent demo! Very well explained! 41 years is aviation in both helicopters and airplanes and this keeps my interest. Hovering and talking!! Mad skills!! 😀
Interesting video and very well done. The pilot is obviously an expert. She has convinced me it is a good thing I've never tried to fly anything. I couldn't keep track of where I was in that checklist and would have to have help to find all the switches and buttons.
So professional. Awesome to watch and observe. All explanations so clear. Am new to this but it's so interesting I Enjoyed your video I downloaded it. Regards from Buka Island, PNG.
I think you have the best start and stop. I truly believe, this is a great resource for pilots moving to other machines as a resource. I would do ever machine i had and put in video an easy way to make $. Keep up the great videos and the details coming with each start and stop.. Happy Holidays and 2023 to come.
Thank you for sharing!!! I graduated from SUU also but in a different program. Aviation (Rotorwing) was/still is my passion. I live in Enoch now and love to see you guys fly over us.
Ive been fascinated in helicoptors and aircraft in general, i used to watch airwolf, tv and films with aircraft and have several airvraft simulator games, this is the 1st time i have seen a full startup. I found it really well explained and really interesting. 😊
Nice . I thought I want to make a clear video like this but again I want to sit with instructor to renew my license again. But you already did a great job.
Maam, during the run down instead of using the rotor brakes (jus to increase its longevity) i raise the collective a few millimeters up so that the rotors stop by aerodynamic braking..n then i use the rotor brakes to fully stop it..nice video
Great tutorial. I would like to see you do some more on hovering. Lift offs and set downs. Taxiing would be good as well. Flying around in the air was easy. It was the other stuff that took a minute.
This video is absolutely spot on. The young lady explains everything beautifully. My dad has worked on 206 since 1977 she really is a beautiful creation. I flown in her numerous times. Is this a long ranger? I work on planes so lost touch lol. GREAT VIDEO
@@SUUAviation how do you not know what you are flying? vertical fins 5 seats in the back? modulated start on the C-30P, you even name it bell 206-L4 if it walks and quacks like a duck...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, the explanation is very clear, unfortunately I fly only whit a simulator for now, but it need to do all the procedures correctly, so very useful video ! Thanks again
I think I prefer that design. Nothing would make a difference if you hit nose first but at least that has something there. Plus the controls seems a bit more solid.
I always wanted to fly a Helicopter and my pass uncle flew them in the Army and a pass great friend of mine in the Navy and it’s time for me to follow up and this is great to walk with you throughout the pre start up
This is an extremely important video to me. Only last night, after my third vodka and tonic, I was wondering how to start and take off a Bell 206 Helicopter.
I miss working on these not exactly these models I did mostly 407s or EC130s few jet rangers and long rangers. It's freaking awesome work tho doing kits or adding new equipment, always something new to do or learn. I loved how thorough the work was and I was proud of the job I did. Cool going over pre flight checks I kinda figured it'd just be like yeah flip your overhead breakers roll collective to ideal and whoo shit here we go lol. Damn kills me not being in that world anymore.

Ain't I right?
Well done. I would add one thing, make sure the blades are turning by the time you get to 25% N1. I was also taught to take a peak that the oil pressure is starting to rise as well.
Lol….that is VERY informative! Always wondered what took so long before takeoff and, after landing! A complex piece of machinery with a set series of actions to make it fly SAFELY.
Really good video! What makes it really good, is that it´s entertaining. I watched it to the end not knowing anything about flying. Really good pace in the commentary, well done Sami Zvonkovic for making it interesting. Liked and subscribed. Look forward for next video.
This...was...AWESOME! I noticed something: when I was watching a pilot start up an airplane, I was kind-of-sort-of watching & working on my math studies [Adding & Subtracting Vectors]. But ~ when I was watching this video, I set EVERYTHING aside & was on the edge of my seat & paying RAPT ATTENTION to the Checklist! I KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STUDY is going to be! Thank you SO much!

I am a instructor for the Bell 206 in Arizona and I have to say, that this is one of the best startup demos I have seen. Very well done!
Russell, what is the typical cost to be a citified 206 pilot? I used to be a USAF helicopter mechanic.

1992 - LIKE DRIVING A HORSE AND BUGGY
I have a ton of respect for Rambo to do all that in two seconds!
Rambo dug a Huey out of the jungle, gassed 'er up, threw in a couple of car batteries and fired that bitch up!
Yep, that's why Rambo was called.......Rambo!
😂
😁😆😂 Agreed.. LOL.
Hey mate! Rambo did that in emergency, not for a TH-cam video.
Rambo knows he can't die because he's the star. So he doesn't bother with all that shit. 😂
During my Army Aviator days., we were trained to look at the rotor blades when checking controls movements to make sure they follow..
is that because you had an APU to drive the hydraulics without engine power?
@@ticenits1926 no its to make sure the rigging adjustments in the flight controls matches the control inputs.

I didn’t see the fuel valve in the end

AMAZING Lady and pilot 😍👍🏽
The "fast forward" video edit from 7:42 to 7:45 terrified me for a second, I thought she was losing control lol. Awesome video!
I'd say the best and most detailed explanation I have seen yet. Learnt about the two clicks of the idle release and the slight lifting of collective during shutdown. Brilliant.
Shame about the pointless music but I just have to accept that is becoming the norm .
Thanks Craig! We’re glad to hear it.

Thanks for showing us how you did all of that, I always wanted to be able to that but I know I never will. Thank You !
Hey, Donald! It's never too late to learn to fly as long as you can hold a medical certificate. Would you like some information on our program?

No cutting corners. Not a machine for the careless.
It definitely requires full attention and the training to do so
This is fantastic, thanks for sharing. I an actually the pilot in tbis videi, and this was my last flight before I moved.
