It cut off before you showed the whole helicopter. I demand the rest of the helicopter, including NVGS! Is it possible to flip on the rotor brake mid-flight? If so, how dangerous is it (assuming cruising flight) and also wtf, why? Last one and a bit odd, have you ever bumped the cyclic with your knee and started a roll? Some of those controls seem like a pretty big lean.

Flipping on the rotor brake in mid-flight would be a bad idea since the rotors are the wings of the aircraft & you could not auto-rotate for a softer landing. A good pilot keeps hands on the cyclic & collective at all times after presetting all controls for the flight prior to takeoff.

Rotor brake it’s not allowed to operate in flight due to weight on wheel system (wow)

NVG mounts on the helmets. I guess you have to be ready day or night!

Hi...Thanks for your video. I noticed you do not have a bear paw on the front wheel. Can you actually retract the gear in flight with the ones at the back?

Hi, thanks for watching. The rear bear paws on our aircraft can retract. The ones we originally had fitted weren’t retractable but once a kit became available ours was the first AW169 in the UK to be fitted with them. Our second AW169 will arrive with the already fitted once we’ve purchased it.

@@CornwallAirAmb Thanks a lot for your response. This looks like a nice option...and a good alternative to full on skis for field landings. Have you tried those on the snow?

@@guyroh1962 You're welcome. We haven't had to due to the level of snow we get in Cornwall. We have likely landed on snowy ground since having them fitted, but nothing deep enough for the bear paws to be required.
