What branch operates this Blackhawk and how long is the school and stuff do you also get credit for flight hour then you go to civilian life to be a heli pilot. I want to fly these beautiful aircraft and the Apache.... how many flight hours do you need too
You must be looking at the pilot monitoring (right seat), because my feet were on the pedals the entire video. The Hawk does have a trim system that reduces the necessary inputs on the pedals, and when in cruise flight it’s not really necessary to maintain constant pressure, but you still have to make adjustments throughout the flight depending on the flight profile.
@@brian1983lucas Hmm, I was looking at the PIC, just didn't even look like your left foot was touching the pedal. Not sure about the Hawk, but I know the Huey likes to yaw left so perhaps it was your right foot doing the work? Regardless, thanks for the information..very interesting.
Best of luck with your packet. Both are great aircraft. The 60 flies like a sports car and has a diverse mission set, and the 47 is an absolute beast. I loved flying the 60, but would have picked 47s had one been available for my class. And yeah, I deployed with 988 MP Co back in 2008 when I was enlisted. Best of luck.
We were flying from Upstate NY, all the way to CO, so we were both probably a little tired, but the engines can really put you to sleep... 🤷♂️ We were both actively chatting most of this flight though.
@@brian1983lucas Totally understand, I was a flight engineer on the MH60G. I was just recalling a lot of the CRM training we had to go through and how complacency kills. Not a lot of reaction time when most of our ops were at 50-100 ft.
I have only been fortunate enough to ride First Class on Delta Airlines, my dad worked for the Forest Service and flew alot because of his job. Tango Yankee, be cautious and safe, Always.
Great Video. Question: Why is the Tail Rotor slanted roughly 10 degs? Also, what purpose does the elevator serve? Why is it always in the downward position? i have always wondered about these two items.
You'll get different answers for the canted tail rotor. One i hear often is if the tail rotor was straight up and down it would not fit in a cargo plane. But since it is canted it does provide some lift. The stabilator is for longitudinal stability. slewed down a low airspeed so the rotor wash doesn't push down on it and pitch the nose up. Higher airspeeds is slews up and helps keep the nose from pitching up and down
Best reply I have received from a pilot: The elevator is operated by the computer to maintain level flight at all times. There is no manual override on the elevator. 2nd, the canted tail rotor: It's claimed it provides 15% more lift to the tail area, especially in slow moving procedures, mainly landing! And also help level the Heli in flight. Both very interesting and informative.
Well you're currently getting a reply from a pilot and the stabilator does have an auto and manual mode. There are a couple ways to control it manually and several ways that it will kick itself out of the auto mode if is senses a problem. The canted tail rotor only provides 2.5% of the total lift at a hover. So roughly 400lbs.
Chuck153d, currently are you active? Or retired? I appreciate your reply. I am really looking for the facts so I can relay them correctly. My father started off flying in the Military. I have flown several times with him, but were talking "several" years ago. I currently am pretty heavy in the RC Helicopter world. I would love to have a "personal" Heli, or maybe a personal Drone, but between living and health care, that's out of the question. I have been in several Robinsons 44's lately, but "my" favorite Heli is the MD500. The 500 is one quick fun Heli to fly in. It is amazing, and fairly simple considering its reputation.
Hey Brian, is a crew chief in the marines now, and want to switch over to the army WOFT program when my contract is done. Do you know who I should be talking to in order to get my packet completed
Do army helicopters fly cross country flights like fixed wing aircraft? Wouldn't flights be so much longer especially since they don't get affected by tailwinds the way jet aircraft do?
Go to airfields and air shows and talk to them. Go to a skydiving dropzone. Go to your local Guard unit and talk and watch and listen. Read books. Take a sample lesson in airplanes and in helicopters. Got it ? :)
Hey quick question. How do you become a military pilot? Does college help increase your odds of getting the job you want? Also would being a military pilot help any in a Career in flying after the military?
Brian Lucas thank you. after doing my own research i realislzed that yes you do need college. luckily i got accepted to my college of choice with air force rotc, so my plan is to do that for 4 years and then join the air force. does that sound like a good plan?
Becoming an Army Warrant Officer does not require a 4yr degree. If your plan is to become a pilot in one of the other services, then yes, college and ROTC is the way to go.

Must be 10th Mountain
Thanks for the trip down amnesia lane. I was always so busy to really look at the view, I’d forgotten how stunning it was. (Former 60 SP/IE)
I LOVE BLACK HAWKS
Ever wonder why crew chiefs have to repair so many glare shield edges? Because the right seater can't read, "NO HAND HOLD" printed on them.
I wonder what happens if you just pull out the key mid flight.
2 of my heroes! I ❤ 🇺🇸 😃
I always wanted to join the military since I was little, but I have Autism. I’d love to fly fast and low in a Blackhawk just one time.
What branch operates this Blackhawk and how long is the school and stuff do you also get credit for flight hour then you go to civilian life to be a heli pilot. I want to fly these beautiful aircraft and the Apache.... how many flight hours do you need too
Huh, didn't look like you touched the anti torque pedals at all...does the blackhawk handle that for you?
You must be looking at the pilot monitoring (right seat), because my feet were on the pedals the entire video. The Hawk does have a trim system that reduces the necessary inputs on the pedals, and when in cruise flight it’s not really necessary to maintain constant pressure, but you still have to make adjustments throughout the flight depending on the flight profile.

what is this? at fort rucker or? i mean is it flight school at ft Rucker or in the actual army?
thanks for the video. would be great to have another one from same perspective, but with the startup.
Miss piloting the uh 60.
Im planning on going to WOCS in the next year or so. Im in love with the UH 60 and CH 47. Idk what I would pick to fly.
And you deployed with the 89th mp BDG? I in the 759th mp BN at fort carson

The pilot on the right looks way too complacent.

where is the startup, take off and cruise?
No Elvis playing? like!
What kind of fuel, and how much does it hold, how far on one tank?
360 Gallons of Jet-A. About 2-2.5hrs of flight time.
I have only been fortunate enough to ride First Class on Delta Airlines, my dad worked for the Forest Service and flew alot because of his job. Tango Yankee, be cautious and safe, Always.
Flying😂😂flight director is coupled and mike is doing all the work🤣😂
Flight director was uncoupled...
Great video ! Know of any helicopter ifr clips ?
Proud to be part of the military family, Army girlfriend. I have/had family in all 5 branches.
I can’t wait to drop my warrant packet after this deployment🤤
Good time to apply; they're hurting for pilots right now. Best of luck.
Brian Lucas yeah that’s what I heard an Apache pilot just moved in next to me and said he will give me my recommendation later🤘🏻
I miss this sound. Miss being a crew chief.
Arrrrrgh. A Huey never sounded so boring.........heh heh
Brings back memories...

I assume it depends on the load it's carrying on every flight, there all different.

Oh man, I wish there was a UH-60 module for DCS.
that and a little bird and osprey
That's a nice office!
Helicopters are cool.
what are the Pilot and the Copilot checking on the paper on their feet?
You cats and your fancy Mike models. Haha.
How long is the active duty contract for aviators?
6 years from completion of flight school. So typically about 8 years if you have no prior service.
Hey Brian, is a crew chief in the marines now, and want to switch over to the army WOFT program when my contract is done. Do you know who I should be talking to in order to get my packet completed
Talk with an Army recruiter about the Warrant Officer Flight Training Program. www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/prerequ/woft.shtml/Checklist.pdf
@@brian1983lucas Hey man, years later but I just got selected on the last board!
@@Dan67518 Congrats! 🫡🚁
how hard does that glare make it to read the displays?
Perfect... (Hi from Türkey)
00:56 Bless you!
glorified bus driver
Glorified Ambulance driver in this video actually... Probably still cooler than your job... :-)
i love this video. I have sent you an PN via UA-cam :)
What controls the tail rotor? Pedals?
sentient02970 yes
Do army helicopters fly cross country flights like fixed wing aircraft? Wouldn't flights be so much longer especially since they don't get affected by tailwinds the way jet aircraft do?
The same way, just much slower and with more fuel stops...
I want to do this, how hard is WOFT really?
Go to airfields and air shows and talk to them. Go to a skydiving dropzone. Go to your local Guard unit and talk and watch and listen. Read books. Take a sample lesson in airplanes and in helicopters. Got it ? :)
Nice timers on the knee boards.
Why does it take so long to power down the thing? Is it possible to shut it down "incorrectly"? If so, what are the ramifications?
MUY EXCELENTE ES GRAN PILOTO. SALUDO A COLOMBIA
Why is the Army going into that airfield; RECRUITING officers?
A university has its own airfield? Must be nice!
Is that Ft Campbell?
Purdue University Airport
Wow. I was looking at this video for 2 minutes and it finally dawned on me. This aircraft has a glass cockpit!! by the way; where are they landing?
Hey quick question. How do you become a military pilot? Does college help increase your odds of getting the job you want? Also would being a military pilot help any in a Career in flying after the military?
Becoming a pilot is different for each service branch. Google "Warrant Officer Flight Training" for information on the Army's program.
Brian Lucas thank you. after doing my own research i realislzed that yes you do need college. luckily i got accepted to my college of choice with air force rotc, so my plan is to do that for 4 years and then join the air force. does that sound like a good plan?
