How Helicopters Land In Dangerous Situations
Landing a helicopter on a moving object is already a task in itself, but what happens when the forces of nature or man made issues make those landings even more risk worthy. In this episode of Xplained we take a look at some of the most dangerous situations faced by pilots when landing a helicopter.

THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH LETS GO BRANDON
Short story some of you might enjoy. I was a CH 47 Chinook Pilot in the military. On my third flight in the CH-47 I made a comment about how the helicopter is a slow brick in the sky not as agile as the little 58. My instructor pilot looked at me and said he has the controls. Next thing I know we’re at Treetop level at about 120 kn doing almost map of the earth along a river. One second I’m looking out my left window and seeing the ground and the next and looking at the stars. When it was done I thought I was going to have to pull the seat cushion out of my fifth point. Most of the time the Chinook is a slow flying workhorse. But in a moments notice that bird can really move.
Didn't expect all that flippy spinny stuff. 💫Those pilots are amazing!😊
"Helicopters are one of the most dangerous modes of transportation 🤣🤣🤣 - Xplained is one of the most dangerous channels on the planet
The flight was the most exciting thing I've ever done ! Flew into the rim of Mt St Helen's.
I was in a chopper in Hawaii looking at volcanoes on the big island. It was so cool!
Damn! Another Vietnam Story ...I worked for the American Armed Forces Entertainment Group, The USO.
Definitely a fun experience I went to an air show when I was younger and my dad paid for a helicopter ride for me and the 2nd time I rode in a helicopter was when was in a motorcycle accident and had to be airlifted to the hospital I remember just floating sure would love to get a chance to go Again in this life time
I like this show, I never been on a helicopter 🚁 but going up over 12 kilometers that is insane and daredevil.
Helicopters and planes are some of the safest vehicles on the planet not only because of the rigorous training involved to fly one but also because of the copious amounts of maintenance involved.
Wife and I took a helicopter tour of Kauai about 8-10 years ago. Was an awesome, beautiful trip. They even hovered down inside a small volcanic crater above the Na Pali coast. It was raining and we were told it pretty much always rains way up there.
Nice video. I have flown in an helicopter twice and the experience was wao. All I looked at was how the pilot uses most of the bottens to operate the helicopter.
Kudos to the brave pilots!they almost literally flying without wings..we need advance technology for these heros pilots for safe landing..advance tech for the rescue teams,military and private chopper.godspeed braveheart pilots!
As a UK Mountain Rescue Search & Rescue dog handler, many years ago, the dog and I took part in a training exercise to familiarise us both to being in the chopper and being winched to the ground. What a fantastic experience for us both. Always, after that, my dog would immediately perk up whenever she heard a chopper, even on the TV!
You're at the top of Mt Everest and a helicopter lands right in front of you... "uhh, can i get a ride back down?"
I have been working on helicopters for a long time. I fly on maintenance flights very often. I love the machines. The do things airplanes can’t.
Crash simulation definitely seem more tense that what we go through for off-shore rigs. We were taught hand placements before impact. So when we're flipped upside down. Our hand closest to the door would guide us out. Nothing like doing it at night,storms & salt waters.

I was blessed to obtain my PP license during college, and then my dad, having his own construction company, gained access to sell and represent McCullough Gyrocopters. It was the only FAA certified gyro at that time. At their expense, I was able to travel to their factory in Lake Havasu, AZ, and get certified to fly the gyrocopter. I had an old Vietnam pilot training me, and we would chase the wild donkeys that roamed the desert outside of Lake Havasu. BTW, McCullough was the chainsaw guy that bought the barren land where Lake Havasu is located, and paid for and built the main structure [roads, water, sewer, buildings, etc] of the city known today. He also bought the London Bridge and moved it there and re-built it over the Colorado River, We did a complete loop in this bird, and this technique had not been done before. We took a long cross country to another state, landed in a field, hopped a ferry across the river to a casino, had lunch and gambled, all on one trip. This was in the early 1970's. Lots of fun flying the J-2 Gyrocopter. We even sold a few.
I flew myself a chopper over Miami beach and it was amazing experience I've ever had
