Bell 407 Looping und Rolle, Video Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+

[Admin]

Ich habe im alten Forum schon einmal dieses Video online gestellt. Nachdem der Link in einem Newsletter (oder sonstwo) aufgetaucht war und demnach einigermaßen Traffic verursacht hat, mußte ich es leider vom Webserver entfernen.

Mittlerweile habe ich Vorkehrungen getroffen, daß es nicht mehr 'deep gelinkt' werden kann. Wenn ihr es ansehen möchtet, müßt ihr im Forum registriert und angemeldet sein:

Bell 407 Looping und Rolle

Ich muß nicht extra erwähnen, daß es (meines Wissens) keine Freigabe für derartige Manöver im FOM gibt, oder?

Hallo,

inzwischen ist das Video wohl weit verbreitet und die Last für dich wird eher gering bleiben.

2 Zitate dazu:

Rumour has it that the pilot flew the sequence during his "validation flight" on the Friday, and the Airshow Director and Safety Officer authorized the manouver based on information supplied to them by the pilot that Bell and the CAA had approved the manouvers, which we now know, was not the case.

The fact that this pilot was trained in Germany by the factory pilots from MBB how to loop and roll a BK 117 and MBB 105, does not necessarily mean that he, as a "Professional pilot", is entitled to break the rules (and the law) by an act of such stupidity. Stupidity?? YES! The fact that Bell have withdrawn the warranties on the machine, theoretically renders it worthless. NO re-sale value! Zero. May just as well be dumped as scrap.

The 407 handbook clearly states NO aerobatic manouvers permitted, and this SHOULD be respected.
