Again I wish to invite anyone that would like to learn more about the ABRIS. You do not need to be a member of TAW to attend this training. You also do not need to be in multiplayer for the training, you can attend the training in single player if that is your preference. You will however need TeamSpeak. You can contact me at blackshark@taw.net for details.

 

The original times for the training will remain in effect until I receive more feedback. If the times change I will post them on here.

Do you have a startup checklist that is complete, but relatively short and quick to do? I have looked at several checklists, but they are either very long or leave out steps. So far the attached is the best of the lot, but I don't know if it is for BS or BS2 or if it matters.

I'd thoroughly recommend Reapers sessions to anyone with the Blackshark, he's a completely awesome guy and knows his stuff.

I do have a preflight checklist I have added to my kneeboard, I will post it up here later today. With instructions how to add it to your kneeboard for viewing while in the cockpit. I also have my kneeboard position modified so it comes up directly in front of my ABRIS, which makes it easier if you have multiple monitors.

 

I think every "pilot" has their own way of starting up the Ka50, but it's good to get in the routine of going thru preflight while running our missions. That way everyone is on the same page, and you never leave out a step(crap... I forgot to turn on Master Arm!)

Thank you :worthy:

Edit: added name to list.

Here is the checklist I use.

Good job with this Reaper6, I've registered again :thumbup:

[Reaper6]

I just finished "my" pre-flight combat checklist. Everyone has their own way of going thru the start-up process for the Ka50. This is my "GET IN THE AIR QUICK" process. So it differs greatly from the proper by the book method. I will add a "I have time for crumpets and tea" method in a few days.

 

[Reaper6]

I Want to send out a thank you for all the feedback I have received from the training sessions. And rather than keep sending out mass emails, this seems to be a more efficient way of responding and providing updates for future events.

 

The number one suggestion was for time being set aside for implementation of the training. The only solution I have; is to be available 15 minutes before the training time for "refresher" training from the previous weeks training. And perhaps 15 minutes after the session, for a practical exercise. I would however like to keep the training time to an hour. There is really so much to compile into an hour, and keep it at a pace where each student is able to retain the information.

 

There was also feedback for differences in cockpit terminology, as well as some have cockpit mods and labels of cockpit devices may be different. I think all "pilots" have a name for what they address each switch or button as. I will attempt to keep the terminology as close to the flight manual as possible.

 

I will however recommend that you spend as much time as possible on your own practicing the information you have learned during the classes. The classes will get progressively more difficult if you have not retained the information from the previous lesson.

 

I am usually on TeamSpeak, so feel free to stop in, I am more than happy to do side training or whatever I can to help out. I do value everyone's feedback, and I truly hope everyone is learning and more importantly enjoying their time during the training sessions.

I'm enjoying the instruction....WELL DONE and thank-you. Would you happen to have material regarding radio procedures when operating at a FARP. I'm assuming there may be some differences...there may not be.

[Reaper6]

Thank you for your kind words.

 

It will be covered in the "Rotary Badge Assessment" classes. I might add an additional Kneeboard page this next week, which will include FARP Operations. As well as the Proper Pre-Flight checklist, basically by the book/check every system will be covered.

[jcbak]

Is that class (Rotary Badge) open to non-members?

Is that class (Rotary Badge) open to non-members?

 

Unfortunately at this point it is only open to TAW members. I only have 3 slots available for this training. However, I will put you on the list as a alternate. So by Tuesday if there are not enough TAW members to fill the slots, you are more than welcome to attend. You are also invited to fill out an application to become a member if you wish @ taw.net.
