Best contact your local flight school and take an introduction flight. You can get flying solo in weeks if you are dedicated (and you have the funds...)
Finally, someone who really knows how to explain how a helicopter works in more of a "clear" and "technical" manner at the same time. To me, it is essential that a student knows and understands that the collective increases or decreases the power due to the "pitch" or "angle" of blades along with +/- rpm.....rather than just talking about "POWER". Many instructor's only say "power". I give you an A+ for this. I have been flying since 1969 and feel that I am qualified to give you a high grade!
My passion is to become a helicopter pilot and your explanations and the pace of your explanations are perfect for a first time student to listen to; very easy to grasp the mechanics of the controls and feel confident understanding them. Thankyou for your time and commitment.
Best. Instructional. Video. Ever!!! 2k hour Robbie pilot here, I now do mainly crop dusting in a 44. Occasionally I still occasionally do some training and this will definitely be a useful tool in helping students understand flight control operation! I have found this video to be exceptionally descriptive of all of the functions of the controls. I struggled during most of my initial flight training to understand gyroscopic precession, that would be the only thing I would add to this video. Great job!!
“We’re completely surrounded, every floor is filled with those things” “That helicopter, there’s the pilot” “Dammit the pilot’s one of them!” “Shit, what do we do?” “Kill him” **kills the mother fucker** “Can anyone here fly?” “I sorta do” “What? What do you mean?” “I might’ve taken lessons off the internet, maybe I could sorta fly us outta here” “Sorta?” “Okay!”
@@edmontonboy99 I mean, if I didn't know how to fly a helicopter, were surrounded by zombies with the only way out *being* a helicopter, and nobody in my group knew how to fly except that one dude who "got some lessons off the internet" ... I'd still take it. At the least, death by flaming helicopter wreck sounds preferable to getting eaten alive, y'know?
There is so much clear, concise information in this video, and very effectively/efficiently explained. Most videos these days would take 3 hours (ego) to explain.
I feel a dog with two wattsitts. My wife got me a flying lesson for Christmas, finally live my dream. Played a lot of simulators growing up and have basic understanding of aerodynamic and mechanical principles but this video has really got me pumped. Thank you
Awesome. My English is not so good but your presentation makes me fully understand all the controls. In fact you have given me the answer on how to turn the helicopter to the right or left during fly. Use cyclic not the pedals. Thanks a lot.
This video was very helpful! I JUST Started flight school last week and instead of reading the material first I wish we could've just went out to a heli or watched this video... thanks so much.
What a fantastic explanation of the helicopter controls in a Robinson helicopter. Very easy to follow along and understand exactly what happens when you use each of these controls.
Henry Darr Very detailed and easy to follow. He was better and more thorough than some of my instructors at the air craft mechanic school that I went to. We just touched on the basics of helicopter flight. We were more into the mechanics of things. Jet engine, propeller engines, electronics, hydraulics, wire and tubing routing, airframe repair etc. Great video. I would feel very safe flying with this gentleman, even if if it was my 1st time to take the controls. Thank you for sharing. God bless. Task force guy - over n out
Wow so easily understood the controlling of the pitch, yaw, and roll. I never sat in a helicopter but your teaching made me feel like I'm sitting next to you and you telling all the details.
I have used the same terminology for the collective as the "up & down" stick, but call the cyclic the "whoa/go" stick. Push it forward and you go, pull it back and you whoa (stop). Of course push it in any direction and that's where you're headed. I think it's kind of a catchy term. Nice video explaining the controls.
Very well done video. Your explanations are easy to follow. The only negative I have is that sometimes it's hard to hear you speaking due to background noise. I think use of a headset would help. Still a really nice tutorial and vey useful. Thank you!!!
True that. You don't wanna wind up like Rick after a zombie apocalypse and wake up in a hospital with a bunch of perfectly good choppers outside but have no damn clue how to fly em :(
Brilliant and informative video. I’ve always wanted to learn how to fly helicopters and your video has nudged me a step closer to my first lesson. The innovation and engineering involved in the cyclic and torque controls I find fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you for posting/sharing, years ago an old airplane mechanic and pilot explained all the things in this video to me, that guy was a wealth of knowledge, and a good friend.
i have a business masters exam in 2 hours which i havent studied shit for..!! and im sitting here..learning to fly copters!!...i too like to live dangerously..
I worked on Chinooks in Viet Nam, even though more complicated than fixed wing, it's amazing how simple this basic helicopter is compared to a CH-47. Good Explanation.
You said the cyclic trim is used to deal with blade flapping during high speed manuvers. I thought it helps with translating tendency during low speed with left pull pressure. Please respond
No, R22 cyclic trim or RT trim is for high speed. What you are talking about is a different thing. In the R22 there is no hover trim - you just add left cyclic to compensate for translating tendency. Good question though.
7:52 I literally just fully understood the function of the tail rotor. It has always eluded me until now. The main blades, rotating clockwise, produce a counter clockwise torque on the assembly. [I may be backwards CW/CWW] The tail rotor applies horizontal force opposite that of the main blades which stabilizes the aircraft. It makes a lot more sense now, I always just accepted the entire premise without understanding how it actually works.
So if the rotors respond 90deg ahead of rotation to force applied as per their gyro behviour, then to move forward I need the helicopter titlted forward, and so I need downward force to the right side (as seen from back to front). So for that shouldnt the swash plate tilt to the side on moving the cyclic stick forward ? Why is the swash plate aligned to tilt in the same direction as the cyclic stick? Shouldnt it move 90deg to the direction the stick is moved?
Good point - the connection from swashplate to the blades is what puts in the 90 degree adjustment. Hard to explain in words - watch the video again and look out for hos the blades connect.
It's complicated. In short yes and no. There is not a "neutral' Position for the collective; However, there is a position where the helicopter won't gain or lose altitude. It changes based on a number of characteristics including the environmental conditions, the weight of the helicopter, altitude above sea level, altitude above the ground and a number of other factors. These all equate to something called "hover power" that is an engine setting and corresponding collective blade pitch to keep the helicopter in a hover. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot Sir, this video is very helpful for the new Flylovers who want to take flying lessons. You are a good and helpful instructor too. Take my respects and regards.
Everyone has a personal preference - in the R22 and R44 it seemed cyclic friction was only used on the ground as part of the start sequence - to reduce the chance of knocking the cyclic while tuning radios etc. Then once ready for flight the friction stayed off until you landed and started the shut down procedure. But on larger aircraft like the AS350 and EC130 some pilots (me too) tend to add friction to add some stability, especially when flying in turbulence. R22 POH Systems sections says: "Control friction must be used with extreme caution. Excessive friction may make the helicopter difficult to control."
When flying a helicopter you make very small adjustments with the controls so adding friction actually impedes your ability to do so because you would have to use more force to displace the control. A cyclic that moves freely and effortlessly is what you want. Once you have found your "hover button",(the ability to perceive helicopter movement and being able to react appropriately) the cyclic movement is very slight but must be done in a timely manner. Friction on the cyclic only delays the input of correction and can lead to overcorrection
So, what's the black knob that operates in unison with the collective? It's visible in front of the collective and appears to have a mechanical lockout.
That's exactly what happened to me on my first day of training. When I had the controls my instructor instructed me to bank right and add power into the right turn, but I think I added too much collective too quickly, got nervous and surrendered the controls back to PIC. Plus I think my grip was too heavy on the collective.
Where are you located and do you give lessons. Going to the website to check it out. Thanks for the lesson I have always wantyed to own and fly a helicopter. Thanks
Bend, Oregon. I work away 2 weeks a month as an Air Ambulance Pilot right now, but we might be able to work something out. www.helicoptertrainingvideos.com/contact-helicopter-training-videos/
Awesome video! Never flown in a helicopter, I always assumed you'd increase power to create more RPM's, thus allowing the helicopter more lift. I see now that you're not really increasing RPM, you're just adding more power to compensate for the increase in lift created by changing the pitch of the blades. The more you know!
@HelicopterTrainingVideos I'm not sure yet but as close to Southampton as possible. I work as a docker. I drive the straddle carriers that transport containers around the terminal. The problem I have is, I work any 5 from 7 and don't know if I have the following day off until the day before. I'm looking for somewhere I can book a lesson as soon as I find out I'm off work the next day.
thank you very much. your video is excellent for a learner like me. before I came to know about r22 from tv. My next project is to build my own personal copter. In this direction your manual and videos are very helpful for me. I am your blind fan. Thank u very much once more...
Very interesting. I wonder what those linkages and fasteners on the rotor are made of? I'd be worried about the fasteners coming loose. What is the in flight rpm of the rotor?
They feel the same really - it is all about small, subtle movements of your hand/fingers and in both cases you rest your arm on your thigh and fly with your hand between your legs.
Many thanks for this very interesting video, I know nothing about helicopters but they have always fascinated me and it's good to get some idea of what a trained pilot must take care of.
Very interesting! I am a GA pilot and knew a bit about helis but certainly not to the extent you provided -- thank you! I don't plan to fly a heli right now, but I wondered about things you clarified! Maybe someday I'll fly one, who knows.
I flew a fixed-wing for over 40 years and I've been up a couple of times in a heli, I even had the opportunity to learn to fly one, but didn't follow up. It's a bit late now, since I moved to a small town with no flight schools, and I have other priorities now. I have acrophobia, which is why I learned to fly in the first place, and it did help, (and I loved the freedom I felt up there) but sitting in that clear bubble of the chopper seeing what was right below my feet didn't do a lot for my confidence! But I've always loved what the helicopter can do, hover, the way it flies and can go anywhere, etc.!
"Heli Train. Vids" -- My father was a physician, and recognized my fear of heights very young (age 4 or 5), he LOVED hiking and standing on top of a cliff and looking all around, and tried to get me to come to him -- I'd crawl out to him and climb up his leg and hang on tight -- I never really got over my acrophobia but flying helped a lot, as long as I had a motor attached. I flew in a glider once, and was a bit uncomfortable. I used to fly jumpers up, and I tandem-jumped with an instructor with a parachute and that scared me too. But it was thrilling (after the chute opened) but I never could understand why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! I bungee-jumped off a bridge a few years ago, and I can't say I even liked that! I was a bit of a thrill-seeker, loved white-water rafting, etc. but I've always loved the water, diving, etc. but NOT heights! I often dived off Monterey Bay in No.Calif, and just knowing the Monterey Trench was just off the shore scared me -- I wouldn't go out there! Silly, I know, since 7 feet of water can kill you just like 12,000 feet can, but your mind works on you! I'd go up in a helicopter any day of the week, maybe someday I'll even fly one, but there's little chance where I am now.
Great question. The correlator opens the engine throttle, making the engine 'push harder' creating more torque around the main rotor mast. But the main and tail rotor speed (RPM) should be mostly constant - so the tail rotor thrust does not automatically increase to offset the extra main rotor torque. That would require the tail rotor pitch to be increased (left pedal in R22) to produce more anti-torque. See our video on Helicopter Torque for more info.
is it advisable for a fixed wing pilot who learns to fly a helicopter to continue to fly fixed wing? The "muscle memory" and intuitive actions and reactions seem to be the complete opposite.
Sage Tech That can vary. Often it is manufacturer based on best way to mount controls. Things such as instrumentation or rotor brakes, etc. it could also have to do with visibly or which way mast is rigged. Confusing because I fly right sear s300cbi and left in an Enstrom. I could not tell you why Enstrom is left
The Hughes 500 is flown from the left seat. It may also have something to do with translating tendency whereby the thrust from the tail rotor pushing right is compensated by adding a slight bit of left cyclic which makes most helicopters hang slightly lower on the left. If the pilot was on the left side this would aggravate the situation.
Hey...coming up to 16, you had a demo of the blade pitch. SW forward and low pitch on port and high pitch on starboard. Um....you wanted to avoid gyro effect? Right. I think that's right.
Oh my goodness I want to learn from you. You seem to cater for 100% 💥 of my learning needs. If you can answer 95Bravo% of what you are doing - then your answer is "No" I didn't know about cyclic friction, but guessed it purpose and one other thing and that's the "correlator". I need to study that aspect a lot more so it becomes synchronous in my head. God bless you and thanks a million..
Aerodynamically they are essentially the same. But in RC you fly with your two thumbs, in a full-size helicopter, you use both feet and both hands - so maybe more coordination required? Saying that, I crash my RC helicopter all the time and I've never (touch-wood) crashed the real thing... :-)
Helicopter Training Videos ha thats cool. in a sense i guess that would make the real one easier huh...? i knew it was both hands and feet, but what controls the tail/ keeps it straight, in a real heli? does it have gyros as well or do you do it manually?
appearingly evident are intrinsic awarenesses in more relivant to controll effects in proper positioning of craft in varying efforts of flight calculations (shurly busying up a bagged lunch for pilot)
As for the flip-flops - it was a ground lesson only - I always fly with 'proper' shoes/boots for safety.
Nice to find this channel. I am inspired
How long its take to be a Helicopter Pilot and where to start to be.. very intrested.. 👍👍

It makes a lot more sense now, I always just accepted the entire premise without understanding how it actually works.
Check out our video on the tail rotor too.
The other solution is to use two counter rotating main blade assemblies
According to my understanding, it seems that the anti thrust pedals are somewhat similar to the rudder system right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Somewhat
This was a great learning start before buying a Helicycle, Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
fascinating and very well explained. i really would like to try a lesson and flight now.
Great video for an intro. Loved it.
Thank you.
So when the collective is raised it increases the thrust but not the rotor rpm?
Great question! Yes the blades all collectively increase in pitch (and angle of attack) to create more lift. The rotor RPM stays the same.
@@HelicopterTrainingVideos Thanks!
So if the rotors respond 90deg ahead of rotation to force applied as per their gyro behviour, then to move forward I need the helicopter titlted forward, and so I need downward force to the right side (as seen from back to front). So for that shouldnt the swash plate tilt to the side on moving the cyclic stick forward ? Why is the swash plate aligned to tilt in the same direction as the cyclic stick? Shouldnt it move 90deg to the direction the stick is moved?
Good point - the connection from swashplate to the blades is what puts in the 90 degree adjustment. Hard to explain in words - watch the video again and look out for hos the blades connect.
It was a relief to see a simple toggle switch for the lights. I can operate that control....
LOL start with little steps...
is there a neutral position for the collective? like a position where you won't gain altitude nor lose it
It's complicated. In short yes and no. There is not a "neutral' Position for the collective; However, there is a position where the helicopter won't gain or lose altitude. It changes based on a number of characteristics including the environmental conditions, the weight of the helicopter, altitude above sea level, altitude above the ground and a number of other factors.

Is it common for a tandem rotor or chinook helicopter to bank into turns?
Yep, at speed they bank in turns like an airplane - redirecting some vertical lift to horizontal

Thank you, agreed
On the cyclic friction, where would it be during hoovering? More friction to aid in stability or no?
Everyone has a personal preference - in the R22 and R44 it seemed cyclic friction was only used on the ground as part of the start sequence - to reduce the chance of knocking the cyclic while tuning radios etc. Then once ready for flight the friction stayed off until you landed and started the shut down procedure.

Excellent Job..Learned a lot from your brief but comprehensive video...
Great!
Wonder... What do you think the feeling of this side mounted cyclic is, in comparison with a center mounted stick? Thanks
They feel the same really - it is all about small, subtle movements of your hand/fingers and in both cases you rest your arm on your thigh and fly with your hand between your legs.
Are most helicopters short friendly?
Yes, many models are better suited to ''smaller' people... Including the R22
Many thanks for this very interesting video, I know nothing about helicopters but they have always fascinated me and it's good to get some idea of what a trained pilot must take care of.
Glad you enjoyed it
NICE LESSON
You are welcome.
1 correction: the shown "Foche Wolf" is a "Focke Wulf"
Yep thank you. Correction added to the video description.
Thank you for this video. You confirmed my idea how the collective and throttle work.
Excellent information. I don't have access to fly but info is awesome.
Thanks
kindly upload videos of Augusta Helicopter FLIR SYS control during flying of AW-139 HELO
Sorry I don't have any
Very interesting! I am a GA pilot and knew a bit about helis but certainly not to the extent you provided -- thank you! I don't plan to fly a heli right now, but I wondered about things you clarified! Maybe someday I'll fly one, who knows.
Go get an 'introduction'' flight - fun and relatively inexpensive experience.
I flew a fixed-wing for over 40 years and I've been up a couple of times in a heli, I even had the opportunity to learn to fly one, but didn't follow up. It's a bit late now, since I moved to a small town with no flight schools, and I have other priorities now. I have acrophobia, which is why I learned to fly in the first place, and it did help, (and I loved the freedom I felt up there) but sitting in that clear bubble of the chopper seeing what was right below my feet didn't do a lot for my confidence! But I've always loved what the helicopter can do, hover, the way it flies and can go anywhere, etc.!
Wow! Good for you even trying. Funny, I hate heights too - can't even go up a ladder without getting wobbly!
"Heli Train. Vids" -- My father was a physician, and recognized my fear of heights very young (age 4 or 5), he LOVED hiking and standing on top of a cliff and looking all around, and tried to get me to come to him -- I'd crawl out to him and climb up his leg and hang on tight -- I never really got over my acrophobia but flying helped a lot, as long as I had a motor attached. I flew in a glider once, and was a bit uncomfortable. I used to fly jumpers up, and I tandem-jumped with an instructor with a parachute and that scared me too. But it was thrilling (after the chute opened) but I never could understand why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! I bungee-jumped off a bridge a few years ago, and I can't say I even liked that! I was a bit of a thrill-seeker, loved white-water rafting, etc. but I've always loved the water, diving, etc. but NOT heights! I often dived off Monterey Bay in No.Calif, and just knowing the Monterey Trench was just off the shore scared me -- I wouldn't go out there! Silly, I know, since 7 feet of water can kill you just like 12,000 feet can, but your mind works on you! I'd go up in a helicopter any day of the week, maybe someday I'll even fly one, but there's little chance where I am now.
@10:10 the most hi-tech non-standard (non- air-safety approved?) mod is a piece of string crewed the front of the canopy. I love it.............
That is how the helicopter comes from the factory - that is Aviation Grade string ;-)
why doesn`t the correlator also give extra power to the tailrotor ?
Great question. The correlator opens the engine throttle, making the engine 'push harder' creating more torque around the main rotor mast. But the main and tail rotor speed (RPM) should be mostly constant - so the tail rotor thrust does not automatically increase to offset the extra main rotor torque. That would require the tail rotor pitch to be increased (left pedal in R22) to produce more anti-torque. See our video on Helicopter Torque for more info.
Really interesting, Robinson R22/44/66 is a great project, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HelicopterTrainingVideos great work, great vid 👍
GREAT VIDEO!!! I learned a lot from this video!! Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
tell me sommtihgs about this course my friend how total cost for private pilot lcense Helecopter
$20,000+ to get private pilot
Very informative thank you sir for sharing
You are very welcome.
do all helicopters use the same controls? how many hours of flying would i need to work as pilot anywhere.
deardiary gigity Mostly yes. 200+
is it advisable for a fixed wing pilot who learns to fly a helicopter to continue to fly fixed wing? The "muscle memory" and intuitive actions and reactions seem to be the complete opposite.
Yeah it is something to consider
why is a helicopters main pilot seat on the right even north American ones, but the captain's seat in a plane is on the left?
Sage Tech That can vary. Often it is manufacturer based on best way to mount controls. Things such as instrumentation or rotor brakes, etc. it could also have to do with visibly or which way mast is rigged. Confusing because I fly right sear s300cbi and left in an Enstrom. I could not tell you why Enstrom is left
Sage Tech Helicopters have ejector seats that's why.
Some helicopters have the seat on the left.
The Hughes 500 is flown from the left seat. It may also have something to do with translating tendency whereby the thrust from the tail rotor pushing right is compensated by adding a slight bit of left cyclic which makes most helicopters hang slightly lower on the left. If the pilot was on the left side this would aggravate the situation.
Weight distribution ....
Well presented and easy to understand nothing to complex and interesting well done when do I collect my licence
Thank you! The licence application process needs a whole video by itself (one day I'll do that too)....
Sweet! Thanks from Texas!
You are welcome
Hey...coming up to 16, you had a demo of the blade pitch. SW forward and low pitch on port and high pitch on starboard. Um....you wanted to avoid gyro effect? Right. I think that's right.
Sorry not sure I understand the question
Helicopter Training Videos
Oh my goodness I want to learn from you. You seem to cater for 100% 💥 of my learning needs. If you can answer 95Bravo% of what you are doing - then your answer is "No" I didn't know about cyclic friction, but guessed it purpose and one other thing and that's the "correlator". I need to study that aspect a lot more so it becomes synchronous in my head. God bless you and thanks a million..
You are welcome
Nice information
Thanks
cool. how much similarity is it between flying an rc heli and an actual helicoptor?
Aerodynamically they are essentially the same. But in RC you fly with your two thumbs, in a full-size helicopter, you use both feet and both hands - so maybe more coordination required? Saying that, I crash my RC helicopter all the time and I've never (touch-wood) crashed the real thing... :-)
Helicopter Training Videos ha thats cool. in a sense i guess that would make the real one easier huh...? i knew it was both hands and feet, but what controls the tail/ keeps it straight, in a real heli? does it have gyros as well or do you do it manually?
What a great video for a novice/spectator like myself!
Great video
Thanks!
appearingly evident are intrinsic awarenesses in more relivant
to controll effects in proper positioning of craft in varying efforts
of flight calculations (shurly busying up a bagged lunch for pilot)
Ummm
