Random....is there a "multi-engine" rating for rotorcraft?. Seems there ought to be. :icon_tong

The phrog community has a new screensaver!

That is a great shot.

No tri engine rating either.........:icon_wink My commercial helo rating in a Sikorsky S-80 is tantamount to a commercial rating in a Robinson R-22. Yes, I used the word tantamount.

And that automatically makes you worth talking to. I hate stupid people.

Why would there be. The reason for a multi-engine rating in fixed wing is asymetric thrust, etc etc etc. Something helos will not experience (loss of tail rotor is not the same thing, that's covered by your training).

If anything ever made me want to fly Helo's .... it would be something like this......

S.H. and Good job, helo guys ...

There's no rating for this one. Just luck that you'll walk away.

well I thought the smiley kinda explained my sarcasm. I understand that FW is because of asymmetrical thrust.

Although now that I think about it, how do cockpit controls differ in the helo with a standard tail rotor, versus a twin rotor helo?

 

[BigIron]

the rudder pedals control disk angle (hence yaw control) on the tandem rotors, whereas in a single tail rotor helo, the rudder pedals control tail rotor blade angle and thrust.

*sigh* .... this is it, folks ... the profile of a Marine nerd.
