Yeah, that is a good video.

YouTube put it on my feed last night, and I was wondering as I watched it - what's the pilot supposed to be monitoring with the very big and very prominent ammeter (marked in milliamps) mounted right by the HUD ?

Cheers.

Also notice at 1:38, they use a SimShaker Jetpad for extra immersion! :pilotfly:

I see "μA" there, meaning micro amperes. I am pretty sure that it´s equipment for measuring static electricity acting on the helicopter. The scale seems to show 300 and I guess 600 micro amps. Not sure why it goes both ways though, but if a rotor blade hits a particle in the air, it creates static electricity on the airframe. The more particles (dustier), the more static electricity. It looks like it´s test equipment though, not something I would expect to see on a production helicopter.

 

Americans did a similar test: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/282087.pdf
