It features a conversation between two speakers discussing pre-flight checks, handling turbulence, and safe helicopter operations, including a recent incident at the airfield.
So our pre. Lift off check. Just a quick glance at everything. And it only takes a few seconds just to give a quick. Just look down just to make sure. Because then when you're by yourself, the problem is if you don't catch this stuff now, then you're by yourself, then you pick up and you're in a hover and you're struggling. Ah, I forgot to do this, I forgot to do that. Set it back down. Then you're setting it back down. And if you have passengers with you, then you feel weird because you forgot something and they're going, oh, did you forget that? Because they'll quiz you. They'll why did you do that? Or why you doing that?
Oh, you mean like Bill? Yeah. Okay, should be good to go up.
It's coming off of our left corner, so it's going to be squirrely when you pick it up because it's strong. This turbulence is going right in the tail rotor.
Stay on top of the pedals. Okay. Everything looks dynamically well and into green. Fuel's good. Radios are good. All the engine functions are good. It sure hovers nice in the wind this morning, doesn't it?
Yep.
Plymouth traffic helicopter November five three Romeo Whiskey Party one zero, Plymouth traffic. Let's go across the grass. That's why they mowed it.
I would. I just. I just stay parallel that way in case somebody's coming in that's not talking.
Stay parallel to the Runway.
Yeah, I just stay over the grass that way. If somebody was coming in and we missed them. As there's a little incident took place a couple days ago here, and there's a. Big Dave had to review the tapes and the one guy's mad and he's sending letters to everybody and her brother guy's taking off downwind. One of the guys that rents owns an S plane, an airplane here who's a real general. Anyway, he's coming in and doesn't hear that guy make the call. So this guy flips out and he's screaming, yelling at everybody, and then he's. They get out here on the ramp and their dogs are fighting and it turned into a big flipping mess. And I just didn't. He didn't hear the guy make the radio call. He just didn't hear it.
Come on, let's get some lift out of this thing.
Well, you're going 80 and you should be at 60.
There we go. Just back off. So it's just. I mean, after we get all educated, just forget about the runways. Just be safe and stay away from them because it's just one less chance of an incursion.
Exactly.
