The pop-out floats on helicopters are primarily designed to keep the helicopter upright to give the crew and passengers enough time to safely egress the aircraft after a successful ditching.

Who ever signed off on this idea at MD helicopters should be written into the aviation hall of fame! Helicopter racing?! Yeah, forget the cars… I want to see egg beaters duking it out. I’m never going to watch a car race again and start a petition for helicopter racing.

Helicopters operating in and around major airports is very common. In the United States, the FAA publishes prescribed routes and altitudes for helicopters in 8 major cities across the United States, I have flown almost all the routes in a helicopter mostly at night in over 7 of the 8 cities (8th one being D.C.) Here is the route PAT25 was flying last night, it’s called Route 4 over the Potomac River. These routes have been in place for many years and particularly in DC, they are vital for the police, military, and national security to circumnavigate the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport safely 24/7. You are operating a complex aircraft in a complex environment and you can get task saturated even with a two pilot crew like PAT25. Task saturation also can happen to the most experienced air traffic controller. To give you an example, ATC may call out traffic to you and you confirm that you have it insight or maybe you spot the wrong aircraft. It takes one little thing to happen to lose sight of that traffic in question, e.g. a light flashes on your instrument panel, the person sitting next to you or behind you asks a question, you have multiple radios that you are listening to, you spot a bird, and the list goes on and on. There are so many questions that will probably never get answered like, were both of the pilots wearing Night Vision Goggles (which give you around a 40° field of view), did they identify the correct aircraft that they assured ATC they had insight and will maintain visual separation with, how many other aircraft was the controller trying to keep separated, why didn’t the controller inform the CRJ about the helicopter? It’s a mind boggling amount of data to digest even for a pilot or controller with thousands of hours of experience. The reality is, this is a very tragic and horrible aviation accident that will hopefully invoke some kind of change to prevent this type of disaster from ever happening again. I believe given the high visibility of this accident happening in the Nation’s Capital will lead to changes. What those changes might be, who knows yet. Either this route 4 over the Potomac is going to get changed or landings to runway 33 at Reagan will no longer be authorized. This is the human element in aviation, we’re still discussing accidents that took place about 100 years ago and it’s important to discuss these accidents because you want to remember them and hopefully learn from them and not repeat the same mistakes twice.

The first time I was “lazed” flying a helicopter was kinda terrifying. I was flying along one evening just as the sun was about to set, “fat dumb and happy” as they say. Helicopter was on autopilot and I saw this bright green flash cover the entire windscreen. My heart jumped a few beats because my first thought was, I f’d up, I’m seeing this bright flash of a strobe light on a radio tower and my life is over because I’m about to collide. A couple seconds passed and I said to myself, I’m still alive! I then realized this was a laser illumination. I looked out my right window and almost got flash blinded as the source was at my 3 o’clock position. I closed my eyes and let the autopilot do the work. I called up ATC and advised them what was happening to give warning to other aircraft in the area. They asked me for a position of the laser source and I couldn’t give them anything definitive because I didn’t want to go blind. Being in a helicopter… I could track down the exact house this was coming from but I’d risk being possibly blinded for life and or crashing the helicopter. People shining lasers at aircraft is like throwing rocks off a freeway overpass at cars below. This is life and death stuff. Audio via ATC

Today, at the invitation of aircraft manufacturing giants, Airbus, I led a high-level delegation to its headquarters in Toulouse, France. At the occasion, on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I signed a Working Together Agreement with the company. Highlights of the agreement are as follows: •Fleet Expansion: Leveraging the successful integration of the Airbus A220 (as seen with Ibom Air), to establish Nigeria as a leader in regional and continental flight operations. •Infrastructure & Technical Support: Airbus will provide comprehensive consulting for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities, flight operations, and aviation market insights. •Human Capital Development: Creating high-value jobs for the next generation of Nigerian talents through specialized training programs for pilots, engineers, and cabin crew. •Market Leadership: Aligning with Airbus’ Global Market Forecast, which predicts a demand for 1,490 new aircraft in Africa over the next two decades. Nigeria aims to capture a dominant share of this growth by utilizing its geographic advantage as a global bridge. The visit concluded with a commitment to further technical exchanges, including upcoming inspections of Airbus’ Defence & Space and Helicopter divisions. The delegation included members of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and key industry stakeholders (all of whom attended at their own expense).

Absolutely wild footage, this is a real world engine failure in a MD500 (Think Magnum P.I. helicopter) over Kauai, Hawaii out on a tour flight. You’ll probably have to watch this a few times but the video starts out with the helicopter under power and then the engine sound goes silent. The beeping you hear is the engine-out audio beep to inform the pilot that engine power has been lost. This maneuver that pilot is doing is called a Autorotation and the way to think about helicopter flight, the engine is turning this big fan (rotor blades) on top of the body and sucking in air from the top and projecting it downward to overcome the force of gravity. When engine power is lost, you experience a reverse in airflow because now gravity takes over and the air flow is coming from the bottom of the main rotor disk. The only thing the pilot can really do is to make sure the rotors keep spinning by changing the pitch of the rotor blades through the use of the “collective” which is a lever next to the pilot’s left leg and it only moves up and down. The pilot has to manipulate the collective during an auto rotation to make sure the blades keep spinning. If the pilot pulls up too much on the collective, the rotor blades will bite too much of air causing a resistance and slow the rotors down. If the pilot doesn’t pull enough collective.. the blades will speed up and potentially cause a catastrophic failure. The other control the pilot has is called the cyclic. This cyclic sits between the pilots legs and and manipulates individual pitch of the rotor blades to tilt the rotor disk aka “big fan” and make the helicopter go forward, backwards, left, right. So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power. The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground. Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to Combat Learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

The tail of the Airbus A320 is more than just a sleek design feature. It holds the trimmable horizontal stabilizer, which helps balance the aircraft in flight. This hidden system works constantly to keep the nose level and the ride smooth.

‼️🇺🇸Meet the Aircraft That Transforms From Helicopter to Airplane The Bell Boeing V 22 Osprey is one of the most unusual aircraft ever built. It lifts off vertically like a large helicopter, rising straight from the ground without a runway. Then its powerful rotors rotate forward, transforming the aircraft into a fast flying plane. This unique design allows it to combine the vertical takeoff ability of a helicopter with the speed and range of an airplane. That is what makes the V 22 Osprey so valuable for long distance missions where normal helicopters would struggle. One aircraft. Two flight styles. Helicopter when it takes off. Airplane when it flies.

Operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces struck Mi-17 and Mi-28 helicopters in the Voronezh region According to objective control data, at the time of the strike, the aircraft were on the ground and likely undergoing maintenance. Enemy personnel responsible for their operation were nearby. After clarifying the target coordinates, the operators delivered consecutive UAV strikes. As a result of the hits, both targets were struck. The strike was carried out by pilots of the consolidated crews of the 429 окрема бригада БпС «АХІЛЛЕС» and the 43rd Separate Artillery Brigade in a jointly planned operation with the Special Operations Center "A" on April 29 in the territory of the Voronezh region, russia. The Mi-17 is a multi-role helicopter used by the enemy for transporting personnel and cargo, as well as for providing fire support to units. The estimated cost of one aircraft is at least $6 million. The Mi-28 is an attack helicopter designed to engage armored vehicles and manpower. Its armored crew cabin allows it to operate under conditions of intense fire. The estimated cost is around $18 million. USF: One step ahead!

Airplane pilots: IFR = Instrument Flight Rules Helicopter pilots: IFR = I Follow Roads Unless maybe you’re at war, there is literally no reason to be doing this in these conditions. The pilot may have been caught by surprise from the conditions rolling in fast and embarrassed to land. It maybe the pilots boss onboard or a charter client threatening the pilot’s employment if they don’t get to where they need to go. It’s possible the pilot has flown this route many times and knows where each and every obstruction is along the route. Maybe the pilot is worried they’re going to lose a client if they don’t get them there. Regardless, not the wisest thing to do in a single engine helicopter in these conditions. Sure looks an Airbus EC-120 to me, a private owner as they’re not used for much besides that in the US. There aren’t many flying in the US, should be easy to figure out the tail number and see some ADSB history.
