I use FF right now and I love it. I would like the ability to use JEPP charts as I start to transition into the civilian world as a career than just for fun.
Once landed at an airport in the 64 where the FAA was doing ramp checks. He came out to see the helicopter and we talked for a while. I went inside and a young pilot in there asked if we got ramp checked. I guess? Never in my Arrow though.
Appears that an airplane has crashed with a possible fatality. I do not know much, but I do think it is based out of my home airport.

Buddy on the airport has one, and I like it a lot. Very comfortable and fairly quick. He uses it for family travel, and I think it fits his mission well.
Not a specific type but a specific airframe. AH-64D tail #299 is a "Demonic Whore" as she tried to kill me on 4 separate occasions. A cracked nose gearbox causing single engine failure on short final into a FARP at 7,000 feet. A dual engine fire warning with only one engine on fire. I hope I...
I'm sure you know what you're talking about as the concept explained is correct; however, to expound you can read this: https://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/pilotsafetybrochures/media/spatiald_visillus.pdf
We learn about this stuff pretty hard in the Army, but that is the FAA version.
There is a picture floating around internally of the entire static mast up buried in the dirt as if rotor separation. If true, this will be the second rotor separation incident in NG units in 24 months.
You're right. According to 95-1 and the -10 the D model wasn't IFR qualified and it was considered an EP. You can't hunt and you can't shoot in the clouds. All my army weather time came in instruments. lol I have a lot more knowledge now that I can teach Army folks because of my civilian flying.
Disclaimer: I had NOTHING to do with that video.
The E is IFR and we do a little, but I was more just joking. I learned more about IFR ops flying my Arrow all over the country. As for the iPads that was just the 101st and it was a cluster**** We can chat about that offline if you want. We are...
What is "weather" time....? Haha.
As for your second question, we are all caring. Some more than others. Personally, I like that there is a blast shield between us. You even get your own "runner upper dude."
I'm late to the party and a lot has already been said, but I'm an active duty AH-64D/E commissioned officer and instructor pilot. Feel free to ask me anything specific.
