Dangerous Student Errors Part 1 with Max Trescott | Ep. 003 of the Helicopter Training Podcast

This is the first in a 3-part series where I join Max Trescott on The Rotary Wing Show Podcast to discuss some of the dangerous student errors in helicopter training and how instructors can prevent mistakes from becoming accidents. We cover general instructor considerations: • Guarding and blocking techniques for each control • “Ghosting” maneuvers • When to take the controls • How to respond when a student freezes up Maneuver-specific guidance includes: • Pick up and set down • Slopes • Hover training • Normal and steep approaches • Running landings • Shutdowns For this video version, I’ve added graphics and short clips to make the discussion clearer for visual learners. I also reference recent training accidents to highlight why these techniques are so important.
