Kenny Keller from Four Wind Helicopters breaks down lifting to a hover in two steps: get the aircraft light on the skids and pause to neutralize all controls, then gently lift into the air. He stresses the importance of a careful, methodical pickup over rushing.
Foreign. Hello Kenny with four wind helicopters. Next, helicopter training tip. Lift to a hover should be in a two step process. Step number one is get the aircraft light on the skids, pause, neutralize all movements. Then when you're ready to lift the helicopter up, step number two is gently lift the aircraft into the air. Now the has a few more inputs than that, but simply put, two step process. I've done this video before as well and it's an important one to hit again. When I was first training, when the older instructor came along to check me out flying with the young guy, after we went out and flew, he took me in and he said okay, now remember this, don't ever forget it. The pickup must be a two step process. Experienced pilots roll these things over from doing a sloppy P pickup, rushing it, not using a good two step process. So it really is key. Get the aircraft line on the skids, pause, neutralize meaning adjust the pedals, adjust the cyclic, get everything set where you want it and then when you're ready, gently lift the aircraft into the air. So you got to remember and you need to use this for your methods on your lift to hover two step process. Thanks for stopping by. We'll see you on the next one. It's.
