Schweizer Helicopter Intro Flight

Another cockpit POV video from the FlyingMAir YouTube channel.

Here’s an intro flight given to an airplane pilot in a Schweizer 300CB helicopter by one of Canyon State Aero’s CFIs, Trevor, back in January 2020. (Regular viewers of this channel might remember Trevor as the CFI I practiced autorotations with in another one of my videos.)

In this video, they lift off from Mesa’s Falcon Field Airport (FFZ) and head out to the practice area east of there. Trevor does a standard intro flight — the kind they’d do for potential new students — before returning to the airport. This video includes cockpit chatter as well as all radio communications between takeoff and landing.

Since recording this video, Canyon State Aero was sold; I’m not sure whether its new owners are still operating a flight school. This was shot prior to Covid lockdowns.

To get this video content, I had to split the cost of the demo flight with the student, who was an employee of Canyon State. Many, many thanks to channel members and Patreon patrons. It’s your membership dollars that made this flight and video possible. I hope they enjoy their ad-free, 2K version of this video.
