Bell 505 Shutdown Procedure and a few tips and habits I've formed from flying remote off airport missions over the years. Check out this short video on my Youtube and if you have any insights on shut down or habits you've formed, please do share in the comments.

If a pilot loses communication with air traffic control (ATC), they would follow established procedures to ensure safety. They would first try to reestablish communication by using alternate frequencies or methods, such as using a 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 or transponder. If communication cannot be reestablished, the pilot would follow specific protocols based on their 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, and the 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 they are in. Some common alternate frequencies for pilots include the Emergency frequency, which is 121.5 𝗠𝗛𝘇, and the Universal Communications frequency, which is 122.95 𝗠𝗛𝘇.

🚀 Excited to share Kongsberg Maritime journey aboard the IWS Skywalker with our Walk-to-Work solution! 🌊🛳️ The Kongsberg Maritime Walk-to-Work (W2W) application enhances offshore service vessel operations for tasks at wind turbines or unmanned platforms. It supports navigation in congested areas and transit between distant platforms. W2W calculates optimal routes, considering obstructions and gangway locations, and offers automatic or manual transit modes. Critical data, including locations of turbines, platforms, buoys, and safety areas, is stored or downloaded to the DP operator station for efficient operation. Check IT out the video below to learn more! 🌊🛳️ #Kongsberg #WalkToWork #DynamicPositioning

Let me start by saying this: I am always incredibly amazed by marine satellite technology. Whether it's for television or internet, it simply boggles my mind. I mean, think about it for a second. Satellite dishes are designed to be put in place and not move more than 1/32" in any direction. #computersandinternet #directv #dish #marine #satellite

I'm teaching Air Permitting Essentials!

How do emergency responders cope with the unknown even under critical urgency? They give themselves time. Anyone who has tried to coordinate activity on the ground from an aircraft understands the challenges. Descriptions of locations, people, or objects are protracted, but radio transmissions must be brief. Communicating with the rest of the crew becomes difficult as you each try to pick the right moment to speak. Messages passed across various frequencies become muddled. Bloated networks become log jammed as everybody tries to speak at once. The power of a common situational picture, shared across all users and constantly updated, can be life-saving during complex parapublic missions involving a broad spectrum of responders. In this environment, a picture or line on a map is worth more than a thousand words and represents a far more valuable commodity: time. #airbox #emergencyresponse #situationalawareness

In the latest issue of RotorHub International, Emma Kelly investigates the various #HUMS solutions available to rotorcraft operators. In the article, Ronnie Ries discusses why operators like PJ Helicopters, Inc., Helicopter Express Inc, Precision, and nearly all US Power Companies (including Tennessee Valley Authority, Duke Energy Corporation, Bonneville Power Administration, and others) monitor their fleet with Foresight MX and benefit from our HUMS-as-a-Service model.
