What is amazing about the AS350 is its Starflex rotor hub (I was hoping you might comment on it). When laymen realize that the blades are being held from flying away only by a fiberglass sandwich, eyes start popping out of sockets. Then you could go on to say that apart from the centrifugal loads, it also supports the torque from the 847SHP engine, handles flexing and oscillating aerodynamic loads from the blades and it holds the entire helicopter up! This hub and its elastomeric bearings eliminate almost all the old style metal bearings, with their needs for grease, love of dirt and high maintenance. It's a marvel so often taken for granted!

Excellent Video Pilot Teacher, very informative and detailed. When you LIFTED off to Taxi, the HIGH PITCH Turbine noise was AWFUL. I understand the camera was in the cabin not filter by HeadSets. There was a video on a the 505 JetRanger X, the pilot told the Reviewer to take off his headsets inside the cabin. It was impressively quiet while they were in flight. I love this Helicopter, please tell me the volume on my video settings was wrong.

Helicopters are loud unless they are decked out with a sound-proofed VIP interior. This is a utility machine used for aerial lifting so its as barebones as they come to save weight and be able to lift more. Helicopters with a Fenestron tail are considerably quieter in the ones I have flown.

Is there a cover over the starter switch to stop it being flicked off in flight? It looks close to air controls etc. I'm assuming its a start/run switch which is flicked to off for shutdown after engine has cooled for 30 seconds?
@PilotTeacher
2 жыл бұрын
You are correct. When the switch is moved to 'Start 'and the start sequence has finished there is a red spring-loaded cover that comes over the switch preventing it from being moved to Off accidentally. To shut the engine off the pilot moves the cover and turns the switch to off. See here: planearea.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/img438523995385.jpg

Nice vid, I have to ask how easy is it to hold in a hover? Assuming pretty calm and not much wind do you need a lot of cyclic and collective input to hold in a tight hover? Very small stick movements? Trying to see how the full size is to a large RC 700 size.

Having flown for 20 years holding a hover is pretty easy and I don’t even think about it, I just do it. If you were just learning to fly trying to hover seems like the most difficult and nerve-wracking thing In the world. If the aircraft doesn’t move there is no need to move any flight control.

I love this walk around presentation! At first, I thought the heatshield over the tail rotor driveshaft area was a "Fast Fin" aerodynamic enhancement for additional antitorque control. I see that it isn't but was this offered or considered in the purchasing process? Also, is the servo actuator for the tail rotor a dual tube/redundant design like the swash plate assembly servos? Or is it a single unit with an accumulator? Thanks again for producing this awesome channel.
@PilotTeacher

Hi Touleau, Our owners did not require the kit during their purchase of this machine. Not sure if the cost was not justified for them?? The tailrotor servo is just a single actuator like on the B2. It is also only fed off the belt-driven, lower system like the B2 also. The dual hydraulics are only driven off the gear driven pump and only supplies the swashplate. Hope this helps!
@llwellyn1

@@PilotTeacher Thanks for the information. So, you have "servo" redundancy on each of the pitch change links of the swash plate, coming from a singular hydraulic source. You don't have the redundancy of a crossfed / 2 hydraulic pump system. In reality you have two hydraulic systems, each operating separate portions of the flight control system. Man, this is interesting stuff! I got it all wrong... Keep these videos coming. Maybe you could do one on the servos themselves, when the aircraft is in for maintenance. Thanks for the timely reply.

Is it by lawful design necessary to provide a minimum of "x" number of minutes? Is it "land as soon as possible" or "land as soon as practical?" during a hydraulic system failure?

Most helicopters are flown from the right seat, however there are some helicopters where a left seat pilot position is used. MD500, Airbus H130, Enstrom to name a few. Also if you fly in a two pilot operation you can see if you are able to permanently occupy the left seat. No matter which seat you sit, the flight controls are the same. Cyclic in right hand and Collective in the left hand. What changes is how far you have to reach with your left hand across the cockpit to adjust radios, gps, dials etc.

H125 all day long! H130 is underpowered and the 407s cabin splits up the family from the front seats. Yes, the 130 and 407 can carry more people than the H125 but the cabin openness, dual hydraulics, crash attenuating seats and puncture resistant fuel tank win me over for the H125. Oh and the power on the 125 is insane! If you haven’t yet, go sit in the back of 407 vs an H125 and you will see. All my customers prefer the cabin of a H125 over the 407!

@@naughtyUphillboy To answer a few of your questions: (1) The main structure of AS350/H125 series has always been aluminum construction. In older model AS350's the cabin was composite. Since about 2017 to 2018 the H125's coming off the production line now have aluminum cabins with a composite nose. The cowlings, and belly panels are composite and removable....but are not part of the structural integrity of the the airframe. (2) The H125 and the H130 use the same engine and transmission. (3) Since about 2015 or 2016 the H125 comes from the factory with the crash resistant fuel tank. Its the same system that is shown in this video. The old tank was plastic, and would quite often burst during a crash, and sadly caused quite a few post crash fires. However Airbus, and StandardAero both make aftermarket CRFS tanks to retrofit older airframes. (4) H125 main rotor blades are about 50 to 60 pounds each, so they have pretty good inertia for autorotation. Autorotation practice in allowed in the H125. It is taught and practiced by the factory training centers, and in independent training companies.
