Cessna 152A Aerobatics
September 1, 2009
Taking a Cessna 152A up for some aerobatics at Jandakot, trying out everything possible in its performance envelope:
Aileron rolls
Barrell Rolls
Cuban-8s
Snap Rolls
Vertical Rolls
Immelmans
Spins
Stall Turns
Split-S’,
etc.
Probably the hardest manouevers to pull off are the vertical rolls and stall turns. They require the adoption of the exact vertical attitude quickly ‘cos the 152s engine won’t fight gravity for longer than a second š
I need more practice but it’s a lot of fun!

Los Angeles Helicopters – Long Line Course in Action
October 12, 2008
Los Angeles Helicopters conducts a 20 hour vertical reference and 200′ steel long line training course from its facilities at the Long Beach airport and other locations. This video is of the first day of a ten day course. The course begins with pilots learning to fly the aircraft from the left seat while leaning far out of the aircraft, looking rearward (and down) and using the intersection of the rear cross tube and skid as reference — not sitting up and referencing the horizon like originally trained. This training is in preparation for the real-world utility helicopter industry where landing the aircraft in the wilderness on makeshift crisscrossed heliports made usually from logs.
Los Angeles Helicoptersā¢ services include part 141 helicopter flight training lessons at our FAA accredited flight training school, helicopter tours and part 135 charters, production services, sales and service for buying, selling, maintaining and overhauling new and used helicopters. Los Angeles Helicopters is an appointed Robinson Helicopter Company dealer, service and overhaul center.
