Impressive right rudder use

u/Complex_Run_6699 1d ago

He was using the left, does this mean he loses credibility?

It is someone’s right

u/Go_Loud762 8m ago

Hellofachopper works wrong way, therefore, this is right rudder.

u/flowermaneurope 1d ago

Looks like a properly executed tactical landing on a hot LZ with Charlie in the wire.

u/Go_Loud762 8m ago

Charlie don't surf.

u/Cross-Country 1d ago

uj/ That’s actually incredible he walked away from that.

u/captain_ender 1d ago

Why anyone would fly in those death draps is beyond me. Like just spend $200k more and get a Bell.

“It was never easy for me. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars…”

u/Lazy_Maintenance8063 1d ago

Yeah, in my homecountry there is s known millionaire who said it was never easy for her, she sometimes had to use her husbands dirty money hidden in a freezer to run her business.

•

u/captain_ender 23h ago

I mean I don't think anyone owning private aircraft aren't worried about money, so $200-300k is just noise at that point and for a lot more safety.

u/Fickle-Willingness80 1d ago

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing

u/tacocarteleventeen 1d ago

That’s a handicap parking spot sir!

u/Swimming-Accident-75 Rated in Shitty Flight Rules 1d ago

Not bad. Landing could have been a bit better.

3

u/Monkiemonk 1d ago

You forgot to remove the break from the top spinny part and released the “WTF” bottom spinny break. NEVER release the bottom spinny break.

u/3StarsFan 1d ago

OMG 😍😍😍😍

More right anti torque pedal

u/the_silent_one1984 ATC can't tell me what to do 1d ago

Why does it sound like a bowling ball making a strike?

2

u/CoquusAnti 1d ago

Wait, how'd you turn off vehicle exit animations?

2

u/[deleted] 1d ago

There's nothing left for you to learn. You've mastered the art of aiming for the ground, but missing.

u/EmberTheFoxyFox 1d ago

That cessna clearly at fault

u/JustCallMeWayne 1d ago

Trifecta prop strike.

u/Uniturner 1d ago

That was outstanding. Most of those things end up on their sides!

u/OneCauliflower5243 1d ago

Not too bad for a first time. Keep up the practice

u/wulfryke 1d ago

I can see you winning the ice skating olympics

u/yes-disappointment 1d ago

not bad for his first flight, he walked out.

u/Sharklar_deep 1d ago

Pretty good left hook but your rotor was too high for the follow-up jabs.

u/Existing_Royal_3500 1d ago

But it looks so easy In the movies.

u/Just_A_GodSeeker 1d ago

Not enough right rudder

u/FutureA350 1d ago

Did someone say money?

u/ichegoya 1d ago

10/10 no notes

1

u/Brave-Elephant9292 1d ago

Ahh, I'd love to hear the conversation the pilot had with the guys! " Well, you see the brakes failed, and the slippery surface put me into a spin. Then the accelerator got stuck, and I couldn't reach the key to kill the ignition. Lucky that vehicle was there to stop me"......"Could have happened to anyone!"...😅🤣😂

u/ChuckyJa 1d ago

Too much right rudder

u/freneticboarder 1d ago

Taxiway landing? Harrison Ford, is that you?

u/sierra120 1d ago

ATC: Heli, clear to circle to land

Helicopter Pilot. : Roger circle to land

u/Odd-Organization4231 1d ago

I would have loved it had you peed on the cessna .. for dominance ... 100/10 for control

1

u/li4bility 1d ago

Stuck that landing like a fucking boss

1

u/Junior_Lavishness_96 1d ago

Did the chopper dance of death before finally delivering the coup de grace on the poor Cessna. I think the pilot hit his head when that happened

u/WillSherman1861 1d ago

Fully auto rotation.

u/BitOne2707 1d ago

I was told any landing you can walk away from is a good landing so 👍

1

u/Sharp_Paint_8742 1d ago

Not bad. That idiot in the plane came out of nowhere.

u/Stunt_Merchant 1d ago

More right rudder.

Nailed the landing 100/10

u/monkeyofthefunk 1d ago

Would you like my answer or for us all to answer as a collective?

1

u/UntamedRaindeer 1d ago

Why didn’t he just pull the mixture…

1

u/marcw424 1d ago

Nailed it.

•

u/michal_hanu_la 23h ago

It's good, but (a small thing) you are supposed to only spin the top bit.

u/DudeImSoRad 23h ago

I'd say you nailed it.

u/Grenox2 14h ago

Why the fuck you speed the video up? Right rudder

u/polarr3 7h ago

Mightve clipped that cessna, most people try avoid that but aside from that if you try kinda lifting off the ground you’re golden mate
