Transcript excerpt from a YouTube video (Kenny Keller) in which Kenny and Hunter discuss helicopter approach technique focusing on avoiding unnecessary cyclic 'stirring' during approaches and autorotations. They demonstrate an approach without excessive cyclic inputs, note the common tendency to move the cyclic when nervous or after a break from flying, and label the behavior unnecessary.
So people love stirring the pot in the helicopter with the cyclic. Hunter here is going to demonstrate an approach without stirring the pot. We just did an approach a few minutes ago, and he was stirring a pot in the way, and I was watching it, and we got down. I'm like, what.
Was you stirring the pot for? 678Romeo.
Delta over top of the field.
2,500 to join a left pitfield, downward Runway 36. Traffic helicopter one Mike Bravo on final landing on the taxiway, parallel three six Corsa.
And so I said, go around and do it again and don't move it. And so we're gonna clean this up now. We're looking at it. Yeah. Look at that. No stirring. Nope. And why do people do it? I don't know, but they do it anytime. But nervous. You know, we don't fly for a little while, and you get in, have them flown for a little bit.
That was just your problem.
Just a.
Week or two without flying.
And had to relax. And look at that.
No stirring.
Unnecessary phenomenon, though. Everybody does it, especially in autos. They'll enter an auto and they start going like this. That's why your RPM doesn't. And you're like, what are you. Why are you doing that? Well, they don't even know why they're doing.
They just start moving.
The cyclic everywhere. Don't stir the.
Pot when you feel the pressure to fly, but know the right decision is to stay on the ground. Hit the hogs. No go and live to fly another day. Helicopterground. Com.
