You found the one part of LA that actually has skyscrapers, most of LA is relatively flat besides the mountains XD

I like the views of skyscrapers. Views of urban sprawl are fascinatingly disgusting.

Yeah… don’t do an 80° bank in a Robinson. Or most helicopters actually.

Edit - Let's call it 65°

Had a cutscene the other day. It was raining, then in the cutscene it was sunny, but the floods were still on the ground with the raindrop sprites. Such a confusing day.

Pilot here.

Guarantee that’s not even close to an 80° bank. It looks that way because the camera being held is probably co-seat’s phone.

Secondly, you can do an 80° bank. FAA says it’s completely fine, though 60° is better for beginners to learn.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at, perhaps Reddit fear mongering. Airplanes and helicopters are designed to go through a lot worse.

Grew up 1.5 hours north of there, so we'd have to go now and then for big things. The only time I ever went to the skyscraper part was for surgery. It's all offices, not housing. So even though lots of people work in them they all have to drive there. From said sprawl.

Yes and no. It depends on clearance. For instance you can fly freely without squawking over the Hudson River right alongside the Manhattan skyline. There are routes where you have to get clearance for prior. I’m assuming this pilot is one of many who fly VIPs around LA, since that’s a place full of that

There's a line in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy about it looking like it's made of of junk mail, and I never fully appreciated what that meant until now.

I’m also a pilot.

In fact I’m a commercial helicopter pilot holding an ATPL license. I'm adjusting my observation to be a 65° turn. Had a better look at the video on my computer vs my phone, and I can see the ADI go past the 60° white mark while still turning a bit more as it goes out of view.

A turn this steep can be dangerous due so the high G-loading of the disc, as well as the risk of getting into a low-g situation and inducing mast-bumping.

Doing aerodynamic moves in a two-bladed teetering hinge rotor system like the Robby is always a great way to get killed. Although 65 degrees is substantially less dumb than the 80 as I originally stated.

If you are working in an R44 and your pilot is doing greater than 80° turns with passengers on board, they are frankly an idiot, and this is coming from another helicopter pilot. If I did that even on a bush utility job with passengers and my chief pilot found out I would be in some shit.

Have a look at the attitude indicator next time. My guess is that you aren’t actually baking that hard. A quickly inducted 45° turn can feel very strep. The guy in this video was doing around 75-80 (look at the attitude indicator).

I just did this on a helicopter tour of Kauai, the Hawaiian island Jurassic Park was filmed at, and I highly recommend it. A smartphone even takes solid footage from it, so it's very doable.

That isn't an 80° bank, my guy lol. That's maybe 45, 50. Our pilots are younger, but they are good. I pinky promise.

Though you're right, we don't bank harder than THIS clip, but we do bank hard for specific reasons (e.g. lidar stuff), albeit with minimal payload

Outstandingly terrible, right.

From the angle of "photography," to what they recorded with a vehicle that was only developed because military money paid for it.

Yes. This is an OUTSTANDING waste of space, and resources. All around. I'm truly disgusted. I hate this world, and all who enjoy. This. This isn't good. This is bad guys.

I do want to change my observation. It looks like he is only at about 65* or so degrees. Have a look at the ADI. The last white line is the 60* and he goes past that. Still too aggressive for normal flying around a city.

Nothing wrong with baking 45-50 degrees for utility/production stuff if you need to get the job done efficiently. But I highly doubt you guys are doing greater than 60* turns. Have a peak next time and see. My guess is they cap it around 45 degrees.

Replying to stephen1547 (#616,994)

No, I'd agree to that. We likely don't go much over 50, 55 tops in sharp turns. R44s are little airborne tractors, so anything excessive will make you pucker up pretty hard.

It's hard to tell from this one. Maybe aggressive for a civvy flight, but 🤷‍♂️

I've always thought the same thing. It's such a big city by population. But a lot of those cities out west have so many people because they cover such big areas compared to the east coast. Basically I've come to associate big populations with big skylines lol

Two reasons, buildings were kept low due to earthquake threats. Then, as technology progressed to the point that the tall buildings roll during earthquakes, they became more common, Second, part of the skyline is left open so that the LA City Hall can be seen from a distance, the 10 Freeway for example. Anyone can visit the City Hall and it's worth the view and art deco appearance.
