Helicopter Takeoff Fail Crash a Learner Chopper Pilot Loses Control after Taking Off from Airfield

Описание: Helicopter Takeoff Fail and Crash as a Learner Chopper Pilot Loses Control and Crashes on the Runway at an Airfield just after Taking Off. This video shows a learner helicopter pilot losing control of his aircraft. Apparently the pilot was an experienced fixed wing pilot but clearly has not managed to make the jump to arguably a more difficult to fly aircraft as the pilot has to do more to maintain flight. As an introduction to the flight controls on helicopter check out the relevant Wikipedia Article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopt... - "A helicopter pilot manipulates the helicopter flight controls in order to achieve controlled aerodynamic flight. The changes made to the flight controls are transmitted mechanically to the rotor, producing aerodynamic effects on the helicopter's rotor blades which allow the helicopter to be controlled. For tilting forward and back (pitch), or tilting sideways (roll), the angle of attack of the main rotor blades is altered cyclically during rotation, creating differing amounts of lift at different points in the cycle. For increasing or decreasing overall lift, the angle of attack for all blades is collectively altered by equal amounts at the same time resulting in ascents, descents, acceleration and deceleration. A typical helicopter has three separate flight control inputs. These are the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals.[2] Depending on the complexity of the helicopter, the cyclic and collective may be linked together by a mixing unit, a mechanical or hydraulic device that combines the inputs from both and then sends along the "mixed" input to the control surfaces to achieve the desired result. The manual throttle may also be considered a flight control because it is needed to maintain rotor speed on smaller helicopters without governors."
