Helicopter Flight Controls The Cyclic

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqrPXgEWM0

This is the third in my Helicopter Flight Control series covering the four flight controls in a helicopter. In this video, I show you the cyclic and how it controls main rotor blade pitch to change the direction and/or speed of flight. Then I take you for a flight and demonstrate various turns, as well as how I can reduce/increase speed without descending/climbing. Although I don't provide details about the collective, it does play a part in this video; you can learn about the collective in that video: • Helicopter Flight Controls: The Colle... • Please keep in mind when you watch this that I recorded the two parts of the video on different days months apart so there's a bit of repetition. Sorry about that.🤷🏻‍♀️ • BIG DISCLAIMER: I am not nor have I ever been a flight instructor. The purpose of this video is not to teach you how to fly a helicopter. It's simply to explain, mostly to non-pilots or fixed wing pilots, what the cyclic control does. If you want more information, I strongly urge you to consult the Helicopter Flying Handbook, which is FREE on the FAA Website: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic... You'll find Chapter 3 especially informative. Be sure to look up Low-G pushovers or mast bumping. • About Me and the Helicopter • I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters. • The helicopter is a 2005 Robinson R44 Raven II -- the same one that appears in the photo at the beginning of the video. You can learn more about them here: https://robinsonheli.com/r44-specific... I own this helicopter. It is the third helicopter I've owned since 2000. • My helicopter has ADS-B Out and is picked up by radar facilities. You can see my track for recent flights on Flightradar24: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/ai... This is a great site for tracking any almost any flight, including the airlines. • About the Video • The on-the-ground video was recorded with an iPhone 8 Plus using a wireless lavaliere microphone for audio. Additional video footage was shot with a GoPro Hero 7 (https://amzn.to/2Lxyzwl). • The in-flight video was recorded with a pair of GoPro Hero 7 cameras (https://amzn.to/2Lxyzwl), one of which is connected to the helicopter's intercom system with an NFlightCam audio cable (https://amzn.to/31syLTm). Both cameras record audio, but I dialed down the helicopter sound to about 25% of normal volume so it wouldn't be annoying. I used just the cockpit audio from the rear-facing camera because the video from the camera mounted between the two front seats showed everything you needed to see. • The camera used for in-flight video was mounted with an early version of my new Instrument Cam set up, which you can learn about in this Behind-the-Scenes video: • Behind the Scenes: Cockpit Cam Instru... . It's based upon a MyPilotPro Helicopter Mount (https://mypilotpro.com/product/helico...) modified to get the height I need. This version is a little low, but it does show the cyclic movements effectively. • The video was edited on a MacBook Pro using Screenflow software. Learn more about it here: https://www.telestream.net/screenflow... • The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed Dr. Mac. You can find him here: http://www.boblevitus.com/ • I try to drop cockpit POV videos every Sunday morning and extras with more info about owning and operating a helicopter midweek.
