Great job!
What is the collective?
Thanks Jimmy! Can’t wait to see you soon! Love your chopper video too!!!!! :)
ITS JIMMY! 😀
@@janetrosierriccarosier6660 collective is the handle on your left side that when pulled up allows you to change blade pitch, thus giving the chopper lift. The throttle is mounted on the end of the collective handle and is twisted to increase rotation of the rotor blades. Both are used usually at the same time and in conjunction with the cyclic which changes the orientation of the rotor blades- all require a fenise since you are actually operating foot pedals, cyclic , throttle and collective at the same - Kind of like balancing a spinning plate on your head while juggling.

You did great Kay. Ironically smaller helicopters like the R22 and R44 are harder to fly than bigger helicopters because they are very sensitive to wind and cyclic movements. The larger helicopters are much smoother and less "jumpy".
Hey Kay, you had a DEATH GRIP on the controls! The R44 flies with just 2 Fingers, it's so sensitive, but TONS of fun !
You must rest your forearm on your leg in order to stop over controlling.
Kay, you restore my faith in our youth; and you must have the finest parents because they raised an amazing young woman.
Wow! Another great content! Like others have mentioned, I loved your squeals of delight and your facial expressions. I'm a retired police officer, and I had a lot of experience working with "Air Life" the helicopter ambulance that lands near accident scenes, and takes critically injured patients to trauma centers. Those pilots are amazing to watch them take off and land in so many challenging situations. I always thought how fun it would be to learn to fly a "chopper". I'm excited for you.
Probably the best "first flight" helicopter video I've seen, and I've watched a bunch..My son in law is a CFI-2 and flies the R44 and Bell 206, He promises me he's going to teach me, but it is quite expensive even with the family discount!
Kay! Your background music is very tasteful added! Not overbearing! Fits the video perfectly! You're a master!!
Kay, this video Reminds me of how your passenger looked like when you ladies flew together not too long ago! She had never been in a small aircraft before and was making different facial expressions throughout the video. That’s exactly what you’re doing in this video with the helicopter!! It’s just too funny how all of us can get overwhelmed and surprised when we are introduced to new things. You look really happy being up there, hopefully you’ll pursue this dream as well! Hats off to the Doctor for the awesome introduction for you and sharing his knowledge and helicopter! Have a great weekend!!
Awesome video, Kay!!! A lot of information to intake. Thanks for allowing us to fly along.
Great video , I was a crew chief on a UH-1 for nine years - really miss the low slow flying- nothing like it.
I agree, I’m kind of hooked!
It looks like Kay and Jimmy are going to become chopper pilots !!! Can't wait !!
I once went up for a maintenance flight in a helo and when we got back, the pilot offered to allow me to fly once around the pattern. Such an amazing experience!
Helos are so cool, when I worked in NYC some years back, I would get my lunch and go down to the 30th St. Heliport and watch the come in and was always amazed how effortless the pilots landed with such persition. They were usually running back and forth from AC. A huge treat was when Trump's Casino copter came in, it was a beast! Def. On my bucket list to go up❤
You should see Sky-Cranes in action. They look like insects when they take off. Quite lovely, actually.
An orthopedic surgeon that now takes his life in his hands teaching people to fly? This guy needs his own KZhead Channel! Everything from how he balanced life, kids and flying to today would be fascinating. I can't even work a regular job, do life tasks and find time to study for a helicopter license. This guy has an incredible story!
What "takes his life in his hands" ?? I mean, do you drive a car? Ever been in traffic? You simply have to take your time to do things safely and correctly, all while having fun.
Brilliant video guys. Kay you did so well. Such a professional
and unlike many people that post on these sort of channels for attention this lady is actually focused on learning, listening to the instructor and flying the aircraft, rather than looking at the camera and trying to look cute!
It's fun to experience these new experiences along with you! Your facial expressions! Genuine joy!!
What a great intructor. Great simple explanations and easy to understand for the non copter person. Cool video Kay.........as always.
You are amazing Kay!
Well, the Doctor planted the Seed when He asked You about Your future ambitions. I hope You choose to Fly Professionally. You would be a great Pro Pilot, best Wishes Young Lady, thanx for sharing. 😃
She can make far more money doing youtube.
I think you’ll find that your arm will eventually get too tied trying to hover the stick in the air versus resting your hand on your knee and use your fingers to move the cyclic.
Fantastic video. What a great teacher. I learned a lot. Thanks to your host for sharing with all of us through you. Very enjoyable.
What's beautiful about this is that it's two people who just loving flying! Kay - I've flown a Gazelle Helicopter so I know how scary it can be in a Helicopter. You did REALLY well!!! I just love watching you fly as you are so passionate about what you do! Lots of Love - Gemma x
This was awesome! Terrific instructor is Scott and of course, great student which is you. :) Thanks for posting/sharing with us. Enjoy!
You’re hooked now!! Great job!!
One of your best videos yet! Great job! Thanks for bringing us along on the adventure!
Wow excellent kay definitely you come to this world to fly....we are so proud of you young girl..keep the sky safe and fun.
What a great instructor and great student 💜
Great video and very informative, thanks. Many years ago I had a flight with the Chilean Navy in a Bell Jet Ranger out across the sea to land on a navy frigate. Very exciting and the pilot let me fly it part of the way back on our return journey to land. Very exciting but I was amazed just how sensitive the flight stick was, it was like fingertip control. Great memories. 🙂
You explain things so well, I see why you teach for a living.
That was soooooo awesome! Congrats on such a good job for your first time! Scott is such an articulate instructor. I feel like I could go out and fly a heli tomorrow!
Kay, I have no flying knowledge whatsoever but listening to Scott explain the principles of flying a helicopter to you made it seem super easy, I was amazed how tiny movements of the controls can make a huge impact especially compared to watching you fly your airplane when it seems like there , larger movements on the yoke and the plane is barely reacting at all. Thanks for sharing. Scott seems like a super cool guy .
Great video and Superb first flight, Kay!
As always, a great video Kay. There was a lot to take in on this your first flight, but you did very well indeed - a first flight in a helicopter to be proud of. I wish you all the very best with flying helicopters. Thank you for the videos that you post, all of which are not only interesting, but also very informative. Unfortunately I have never been able to afford to complete flying training for a PPL, but about 20 years ago now I did have lessons in a Jodel Mascaret and some Ground School lessons at the Tiger Club when they were near Ashford, Kent, England. Aircraft have been a main interest of mine all my life, although now I live in Devon and am in my 'senior' years, I am unlikely to have any more flying lessons. God bless you.
Intelligence and class. Humble and willing to learn what is best practice rather than assuming what feels natural is right. Kay is an exemplary pilot!
Awesome! My first ride on a helicopter I was strapped to a backboard…def not quite as fun and scenic…
Very interesting. Scott is an excellent instructor.
I can see you starting another channel..."FLYHELOWITHKAY"! Can't wait!
I will pre-subscribe to that channel ❤ Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
Watching you try your first hover brought back a flood of memories of my trying to learn. In my case it was yeehaw rides cowboy! It took me 3 hours to finally get the skill. The second hardest thing to do in a helicopter is the autorotation. After that, helicopters are easier to fly than fixed wing. Great video and good luck with your helicopter acquisition.
Its always fun to watch a fixed wing pilot try their hand at rotary flying. Great Job Kay 👍🏼
Wow that was great from start to finish. Well done, you’re a natural.
I'm glad the pilot is in the "Left" seat just as the pilots were in the old TV show "Whirly Birds and the MASH" tv program.
He put her in the pilots seat
Thats awesome Kay! I've never flown a helicopter from inside but I've flown a Cessna 172 once which was cool. I'm sure flying a Heli is extra awesome!
Good job flying helicopter ms Kay for first time, I heard they are hard to learn flying, but Scott is a good instructor as he explains everything. You are trying to fly different planes now helicopter. -Kenny
I'm surprised that the first thing I "didn't" hear was that pitch control, in a helicopter, is exactly the opposite of "stick" (yoke) inputs, in an airplane: in other words, the pilot pushes the cyclic forward, in order to "pitch up" (and vice versa). You're flying abilities are awesome, Kay, as usual! 🎉❤
Pitch for speed. Power for altitude. This is similar, actually, but the fuselage hangs from the rotor hub, which is essentially the entire [rotary] wing structure, as opposed to the pitch of the fuselage being directly associated with the pitch of the wings. Hence, you not only pitch forward, but increase the collective through transitional flight. If I want to hold altitude in a fixed-wing aircraft, I'll adjust power accordingly while maintaining an appropriate airspeed by adjusting the pitch.
It’s not, I’m a CFII in both
Helicopters: in hover if moving forward then tilt back BUT then re-level right as you reach zero, if sideslipping left then bank right BUT then re-level as you reach zero speed. akin to balancing a marble on a basketball. In a hover: Every corrective move requires a counter move back to level with perfect timing. Good luck on your quest!
That's the problem with helicopter lessons. Gotta learn to hover first. "Airplaning" it with frwd speed and banking/pitching is all fine, but at zero air and ground speed things are different. Now it's a helicopter.
I went on my first, and only, helicopter ride a couple of years ago as a "bucket list" thing. They are way more fun than airplanes. I was glad to hear you say you were going to learn to fly one. I can't wait to take a virtual flight with you. Thanks for the video!
This is so cool! I know that helicopters are challenging to learn but the things you can see you would miss in a fixed wing aircraft.
Brings back so many memories of training in a Schweitzer 300. Your next step is to try a gyroplane, all the worst aspects of an airplane and a helicopter.
Lol, I flew with an old guy in an r22, and his solid gold rule was. If you must vomit, NOT ON THE CONTROLS!
Well now, that was exciting! Awesome footage Kay. You did good!
Thank you both for the helicopter flying lessons. I thought the plane was sensitive machine.( I have only flown "Afterburner and Microsoft B111") I think you will do EXCELLENT on becoming a helicopter pilot Kay. It is Great that he teaches auto rotation which is a life saving technique. Growing up in the 60's, our neighbor and family friend learned to fly out of his front yard using a little VW powered gyrocopter. He made it in the local paper with pictures when he crash landed next to the local fire station. Later on, he was one of the first to become a pilot for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Aero Bureau. He made flying a helicopter look sooo easy.
Kay - I am checking in - Jerry here. This was so fun watching you take on a new adventure to share with the channel. Long time subscriber. I continue to appreciate your willingness to learn and to share. Great to catch up on a video thoday
Outstanding job Kay, you did great for your first time flying a helicopter. Love your smile. 😁
My one & only time flying a helicopter was in an R22, so much fun. Wish I’d had the time & money to carry on, but not to be. I wasn’t so good on hovering, wobbled somewhat, just like you, by over correcting but that’s quite natural 1st time. Loving your videos, you’re so chatty, informative and educating us - thank you 🚁 ❤️
Nice video. My son in law retired from the army three years ago as a black hawk pilot. Now he’s back at fort Rucker as an instructor pilot on the Lakota . We just had a Lakota to crash in the Troy area on their first solo flight ! it looked like they did what you were saying earlier to her about when you’re taking off and it’s windy and you overreacted the blades got in the ground and it just tore the helicopter all pieces. Luckily they did not die only a couple, broken legs and that kind of thing but they were lucky! Thanks for sharing this video with us out here in south east Alabama home of fort Rucker the largest helicopter training center in the world!☮️❤️
Really fun and nice to learn what he is teaching. Thanks
Wonderful job Kay
That was awesome Kay!!! Job very well done!!!
Great video! As you were flying above the river, you could almost HEAR "Flight of the Valkyries" playing.... 😉
Amazing video. Thanks again for sharing your story. I have watched, from the ground, helicopters trim the trees away from power lines. Now I can understand a little bit how they can do that. A few times while watching, I was on the edge of my seat. Thanks again and to Scott..
I had to watch this video wearing welding googles due to the fact that you had a super bright smile the entire time you were flying! So cool to learn the intricacies of engine rpm vs rotor blade rpm, as well as auto-rotation. Wouldn't want to have to auto-rotate anywhere near gators!!!!!
Great, learned more from that one video than anything before, great pilot and instructor
Superb! Just like riding a motorbike... gulp! Fascinating, and you did really well, start saving!
The view in a chopper is fantastic !!!!!! what a treat !!!!
Nice flying, and nice looking ship!
Girl, ur awesome! Keep flying!
Soooo cool Kay! I can’t wait to fly Roto wing.
I'm only about 8 mins in and this is such a cool video. I have to stop as my work lunch break is over, but I'll come back to this video maybe later tonight. Thanks for this. Cheers to you both! :)
Kay great video! That would be o cool for you to have a helicopter for some of your travels.Keep up the great work!
I learned a lot from watching your video! Looks like you had an awesome time. I'm going on my first discovery flight tomorrow so this was a good way to get up to speed!
That was Kewl Kay! Thanks for bringing us along. I liked it, your a natural - born to FLY! Are you still looking at a twin engine plane? from SE Texas Bear :) ❤💯🙏
Another adventurous Saturday with Kay thanks for the fly-along. 🦌🐊🚁
I spent 2 weeks learning how to fall down while learning to ride a unicycle! I never really got that good. Totally understand!!
Kay definitely had a good time her facial expressions said it all
Looking forward to your videos learning to fly the helicopter!
I'm really jealous of all of your awesome flying opportunities. Great stuff!
Hi Kay. Oh My God you were just brilliant again the perfect student and a perfect instructor. You certainly looked like you enjoyed every twist and turn. So not long then before we see you in a plane or in a helicoptor !!! Well done you. Yes its me in the UK.
That was a very nice video and very informative. Thank You so much.
I have about 1 hour in an R44. It's truly 1mm on the stick. It's amazing how sensitive the controls are.
WOW Kay the expression on your face is priceless 😅🚁🛩️
Fantastic instructor he really put it into perspective and was way better at teaching than mine !
That was really good. Good job Kay
Awesome Kay you did brilliant it will get easier next time you go up.phil likes the Gabrielle G2 helicopter's have a look at one of them they are awesome take care and keep enjoying life Phil 👍🍀
That was fun. It reminded me of many years ago when i was learning to fly my radio controlled helicopter. Every little input you give it affects about 3 other things. Since you are not in the helicopter, you don't have that seat of the pants feedback, nor the first person POV. So, the hardest part is when you turn the helicopter to face you in flight, right becomes left and left becomes right in your controls.
Wow Kay that was amazing thank you for sharing
great job miss Kay!
Even further out of your comfort zone than the King Air. Loved it…
Great video, Kay! 👍 It's definitely a different experience compared to an airplane.
THAT was fun! I honestly don't feel all that safe in Robinson Helo's and I've been in several, but this video was fun AF!!
Awesome ‼️ Have always love a chopper... ever since my military days 😊
Great kate lov it i live near a airfield that does training and have always want to learn but so exoensive
Great video, Kay! My wife and I like watching your adventures in the air! 🙂
Used to fly gliders at Refugio Airport, (Rooke Field) Occasionally we would bump into a Buzzard at higher altitudes. Gliders fly slow so it didn't usually do any damage to the glider but the buzzard would shed a few feathers.
Great job Kay
Awesome job Kay!!!
Nice flight and intro tour.
Kay - it was so much fun to watch you and Scott on this ride! Thanks to both of you for allowing us to join you!
A brilliant video here on KZhead about you learning to fly a helicopter kay & I hope that you are going to post more over time & continue to learn how to fly a helicopter because this was a very interesting & a very enjoyable KZhead video to watch kay & more please thank you when you are ready to post here on KZhead kay please thank you!
Wow , very entertaining! Thank you for that!
