LEAVING A PARKED HELICOPTER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING An explanation of something I said in one of my recent YouTube videos. I recently published a video on the FlyingMAir YouTube channel where I flew from my cherry season landing zone to my house. I was going to do a much longer flight that day with a friend and, when I reached the helicopter, I realized I’d forgotten my iPad, which I use with Foreflight for situational awareness and detailed WHY HELICOPTERS DON’T NORMALLY TAKE OFF VERTICALLY Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it.. Every once in a while someone watching one of my YouTube videos or searching for answers on the web that bring them to this blog ask why helicopters don’t take off straight up. I guess these folks know that it’s possible and they’ve seen it often enough in the movies to think that it’s normal or at least okay. SLOW-COOKER GERMAN PORK WITH SAUERKRAUT, ONIONS, AND A twist on a family recipekind of. My grandfather was German — born in Germany — and trained as a pastry chef. He owned a bakery in New Jersey and ran it with my grandmother until I was about 10 years old, when they retired to a life of leisure in their New Jersey home. THE REAL COST OF HELICOPTER OWNERSHIP Twenty years ago, if someone told me I’d own a helicopter before my 40th birthday, I would have told them they were nuts. Yet on October 3, 2000, I took delivery of my first helicopter, a 1999 Robinson R22Beta II.

HELICOPTER FLIGHT: MALAGA TO ELLENSBURG, WA Posted on August 11, 2019by Maria Langer
Comment
A COCKPIT POV VIDEO FROM THE FLYINGMAIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
COME FLY WITH ME as I make a quick, 15-minute flight from my base in Malaga, WA over Jumpoff Ridge and across the Colockum to Ellensburg, WA for an FAA check ride at Bowers Field. This is a narrated flight with radio chatter. Along the way, I explain how I climb over the 1,000 foot cliff near my home, why the clutch light goes on periodically, and a bunch of other things. You’ll see various terrain changes and maybe even spot Mount Rainier in the haze. ABOUT ME AND THE HELICOPTER * I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters. * The helicopter is a Robinson R44 Raven II — the same one that appears in the photo at the beginning of the video. You can learn more about them here: https://robinsonheli.com/r44-specifications/ I own this helicopter. It is the third helicopter I’ve owned since 2000. * My helicopter has ADS-B Out and is picked up by radar facilities. You can see my track for recent flights on Flightradar24: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n7534D This is a great site for tracking any almost any flight, including the airlines.ABOUT THE VIDEO
* The video was recorded with a pair of GoPro cameras, one of which is connected to the helicopter’s intercom system. Both cameras record audio, but I dialed down the helicopter sound to about 25% of normal volume so it wouldn’t be annoying. I wouldn’t mind leaving it out altogether, but lots of folks seem to want it, so there it is. * The video was edited on a Macintosh using Screenflow software. (Screenflow was the only affordable software I could find that allowed me to do picture-in-picture.) Learn more about it here: https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm * The intro music is by Bob Levitus, famed “Dr. Mac.” You can find him here: http://www.boblevitus.com/ I’m trying to drop flying videos like this one every Sunday morning and usually drop “extras” with more info about owning and operating a helicopter midweek. I also host occasional livestreams with Q&A chats. Subscribe so you don’t miss anything new! And tell your friends. The more subscribers I have, the more motivated I am to keep producing videos like this one. Still reading? Thanks!

LIGHTS AT NIGHT
Posted on August 7, 2019by
Maria Langer

BEAUTIFUL, BUT AT A COST. As the days are getting shorter, I’m finally rising and going to bed when it’s dark out again. This morning, I took a few moments to contemplate the predawn lights of Wenatchee from my home. And it really is beautiful. The view from my deck looking out towards Wenatchee at 4:51 AM thismorning.
When I was a kid, my family would occasionally take a drive up to the east side of the town we lived in, Cresskill, NJ. Back in the 1960s and into the 1970s and beyond, developers had begun building luxury homes on a hillside that climbed away from the town toward the Palisades. We used to call it “the rich people’s hill” because the homes were huge and it was obvious that only rich people lived there. I remember one of those drives being in the evening, after the sun had set and the lights of Cresskill had come on. I remember seeing all those lights, like diamonds in the darkness. That’s what my nighttime view here reminds me of sometimes. I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it is to live in a place so removed from, yet within reach of, a small city like Wenatchee. I have all the conveniences that the little city offers — shopping, dining, theaters, nightlife, services, and even an airport with airline service to a real city (Seattle) and beyond. Yet I’m not down _in_ it, crawling around in — or listening to — traffic. Even as I sit here now, typing out my thoughts as the sky brightens out my windows, the only sound is my wine fridge humming and my rooster crowing. Even when they’re spraying down in the orchards far below me, the sound seems more earthy, more natural, than the sounds of the city. But the lights. _Sigh._ I’ve begun to notice bright ones getting closer. When I returned from my winter travels in spring 2018, I noticed four new bright spotlights over some sort of maintenance yard down by the river. You can see them on the right side of this photo: three in one color and one in another. And last spring I noticed a new bright light across the river, likely shining down into someone’s yard. _Why?_ Here at my home, I have subdued lighting at night. There are solar accent lights along my driveway and the path to my tent and the posts tops on the uncovered side of my deck. There are motion-sensor lights that go on when someone — or something — walks near them. None of these lights shine _up_. And that’s it. I see no reason to pollute the sky with light at night. And that’s what it is: light pollution. The only complaint I have about my home is the fact that it never gets truly dark here. (Well, it actually _does_, but only at night when it’s foggy.) And because I don’t have (or need) curtains on my windows, it never gets darkinside my home.
It was with a bit of sadness that I sold my old telescope last year. It was parked near the door to the deck for years and only used, with disappointing results, once or twice. Although I’m likely to pick up a more compact one with tracking that I can take on my winter travels — plenty of dark sky out in the desert! — I just have no use forone here.
It’s blue hour right now, light enough to see the empty sage land between my home and the orchards and lights beyond it. The city lights are starting to fade. It’ll be a hot sunny day today. But at night, I’ll see those lights again, enjoying the view while lamenting my loss of dark night sky.SHARE THIS:

HELICOPTER TOUR: DAM TO DAM Posted on August 4, 2019by Maria Langer
Comment
A VIDEO FROM THE FLYINGMAIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
COME FLY WITH ME on a narrated tour of the Wenatchee, WA area from the Rock Island Dam to the Rocky Reach Dam. I managed to squeeze in this 15-minute flight just before I had to pick up paying passengers near the Rocky Reach Dam. Never one to miss an opportunity, I got the cameras rolling and wound up with two video tracks to combine for this video. ABOUT ME AND THE HELICOPTER * I have been flying for about 20 years. My nearly 4,000 hours of flight time is in Robinson R44, Robinson R22, and Bell 206L (Long Ranger) helicopters. * The helicopter is a Robinson R44 Raven II — the same one that appears in the photo at the beginning of the video.
