RkyMtnHI Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Hey all, found this under the left seat of one of our ships... wondering if anyone else has used one? :-) dp Quote
AngelFire_91 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Ha Ha, I've never used one but it looks like it would be a great tool to have during an Emergency! Do you have a Schweizer Part Number for it? Quote

Goldy Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Ha, I figured it had to be used on a 269/300 series. Quote
67november Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Ha, I figured it had to be used on a 269/300 series. 'cause it's too heavy for the R22 Quote
Goldy Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 'cause it's too heavy for the R22 Its only too heavy if its on "my" side of the ship. Heck, I even put my cell phone under the passenger seat ! Quote
rotor91 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Now that's FUNNY! 300...glide ration of a piano! R91 Quote
nocarsgo Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I've never seen a 300 with storage under the seats. They leave that as collapsible space in the event a person screws things up an hits hard. What is the glide ratio of a 22? I'm remembering the 300 has about a 3:1, but I'll have to look it up for sure. Quote
ADRidge Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 the -22 has 4:1 in its optimal configuration. Quote

The winds at 500ft agl were strong enough to give us backwords ground speed. We did eventually do a power recovery and go around, but it's pretty wierd to be going backwords in an auto. Quote

AngelFire_91 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah, it was just at the entry of the Auto when we were going backwords. After losing some altitude, the winds closer to the ground were not as strong so the first one we did we went around, then we attempted the next one to hover. At the bottom we did have forward ground speed. Not very much, but enough to flair and touch down with no fore or aft movement, stright vertical. It really plays with timing the entries, if you were trying to have any precision in the touchdown at all. Quote
