Land Immediately vs Land As Soon As Practicable

All right. Warning, cough center out. Pages are green. We're gonna go fly just for a minute.

Yeah. Get a little breeze going up in here.

Hey, it's Kenny with helicopter align ground school. I'm the creator of helicopter line ground school. Heather here is your member concierge. We're gonna give you a little flight training tip here. This came from operations manager Brian Rut. Talks with a lot of our members, and a lot of times people have trouble distinguishing between land immediately and land as soon as practicable. And what does it really mean? And we're going to get to that in a minute. We have a July 4th special sale going on. So 50 on any membership until July 8th. If you have a question, you can sign up below. There's links down below, direct sign up links, no code needed, or you can go right to your discount or you can also use the code.

Yep. It's July 8th, so let's start with land as soon as practicable. All right. Obviously less of an urgency than land immediately. So beautiful day like this. Let's say we were flying from here to Goshen, an Airport about 20 minutes away. If we were halfway there and we had some kind of, oh, maybe alternator light came on and we went, okay, let's cycle the switch. Light stayed on. Okay, we've probably had an engine or a alternator failure, so that's most likely. That should probably be land as soon as practicable. We could just continue on to Goshen Airport. Land, check it out, call the mechanic and go from there. All right, that's land as soon as practicable. If I'm halfway between two airports on a beautiful day and I lost all alternator, 10 minutes, I can get to the next airport. Okay, that's acceptable. Now if all of a sudden I look down and I had no oil pressure, pretty much any, any manufacturer is going to say land immediately. Okay. Because if you've lost oil pressure, your engine is going to seize. Could be a faulty switch or a faulty sensor. But you have to fly it as though, I think I may have just lost engine oil pressure. You can, of course, glance at engine oil temperature, but you're still going to need to do something right away. So, like right now where we're at, we got some trees coming at us. Let's say that just happened. I'd be like, oh, okay, well, I may have lost oil pressure if I enter. If I land right now, I'm going to land in trees, but there's an open area just ahead. I'm going to go a little bit further and I'm going to set down that field up there. That's land immediately. That means you need to get it on the ground. Now, of course, the scenario scenarios are endless on what could be behind you or underneath you at any given time. Now, boom, I'm over an open field again. So if it was land immediately right here, that's very easy. There might be times you don't have to sit down in an area that's not desirable, but if it says land immediately, you have to get on the ground and you have to do it immediately. So there may be times you might even have to set down in maybe somewhat of a wooded area or something. You might set down in a place that's not the best ever landing place. But how far are you going to try to fly the aircraft if you have a, you know, you lose an engine or let's say main order transmission was going out and you had a transmission to the red line to the limitation. Your main rotor transmission is about to fail. Trying to continue on and fly. If you main road transmission is locked, locked up, you'd be dead, you're done, it's over with. So land as soon as practical means. Use common sense, try to get to an airport again. The scenario I gave you was pretty easy. Let's say it was nighttime and I had a farther distance to go. Land as soon as practical might not be the next airport if it's, you know, 100 miles away. So you have to think about this and think about it within reason. But land as soon as practical means. Okay, you have a little time to think through it. Where's the nearest airport? Where I can. Where can I land to get services and get there? Land and figure out your what's going on with your aircraft and make the decision. If it's land immediately, you need to find a spot on the ground and get it down pretty much immediately. All right, so we got a couple more videos coming up for you, a couple of good ones. Yep, that ends this one for today, so come back tomorrow for the next one. What do we got coming up? Oh, we're gonna do HV diagram so people have the wrong impression about the HVI diagram and when and when it's really designed to be used. And painfully slow takeoff. We're gonna and practicing Quick stop before odd rotations. Yep, we're gonna do that as well. So we'll see you tomorrow for the next video. If you go down below to stay 50%, call Heather 574-767-1797 if you have a question. Peace out.

See ya.

Without flying around. Where the hell am I? We'll figure it out. I'll find our way home too.

Funny. Beats me. It all looks the same once I get up here.
