Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

Lawman said:
Nothing about this is considered in the MV-75 pipeline. We don’t have a 75 pipeline that’s why the ODT stands up next year. They get to make one.

There’s been a lot acknowledged by some of the old heads at Rucker with regards to how unprepared any of our current academic models are to prepping to that aircraft as it comes online. Just getting people to realize it’s not a helicopter has been a fight, now we gotta get old Huey guys to teach aerodynamic principles they never heard of because that’s the civilian cadre that strangleholds Rucker. Same reason we can’t get effective evolution in our other flight courses.

Part of the reason so many are pushing for a second flight school somewhere west of the Mississippi, just to break the brain trust of old guys we can’t shake. Capitalizing on weather and training areas is honestly a secondary win with that model. We have to many people with too little recency trying to teach the way they were taught and fought which is decades out of date. Thats Rucker.

Good info.

If I remember correctly the IERW is premised on 900-1400 students a year. With the current cuts plus whatever proportion will be 75s, there’s no way they’ll even need 900 students. It’s going to be hard to break even on the switching costs at a lower throughput.

The real estate market around Rucker is about to get rocked again, and frankly I’m ok with that.
 
This morning Robinson Helicopter finalized and announced their contender for Army IERW pilot training based on the turbine powered R66 platform - configured to Army standards... Robinson is surrounding themselves in "America Made, America First" narrative - which could be quite effective.

Nope, empirical data is so much better than actual studies.
Sorry to bog this thread down with 40 plus years in safety and industrial hygiene, Mil and Civ.
Heck, based on your wisdom alone Dog, I'll ignore the dozens of actual studies concerning respirators and masks I studied during the COVID period alone. And I'll ignore the actual fit tests I've done on hundreds of respirator and mask users.
So, wear your beards, wear your cloth masks, just do anything other than actually read and analyze manufacturer, industry and government studies.
Now even I want to grow a beard.

Looks like guidance supports your points...
