Army aviation is being impacted across the board. I’m sure you’ve graduated by now, but hopefully you were able to get some legitimate answers. I know young pilots fresh out of flight school or ones that have less than 500 hours under their belt, are being asked to find something else to do within the Army. It’s an absolute mess right now. You can always look into the national guard to become a pilot, but you’re limited to the state you’re in. If you’re already in the Army, find a career counselor for future guidance. They’re being briefed on aviation changes. Good luck!

Hi Judas, Don't overthink it. The idling engine is still providing input to the transmission by sort of "loosening up" the N2 turbine wheels and making the freewheel unit turn a bit easier. Just a bit, and if it was not present then the descent would be a bit different. Shaun was a great source of info, had a lovely lunch with him back in 2003, and he is a great loss to the industry. His book Cyclic and Collective is also worth having, peppered with humorous anecdotes.

Fast forward this thread to 2025: Hi, I am looking for a non-owned helicopter/rotorcraft renters per-use policy for Hawaii. I want to build hours in my school's R22 and also in a privately owned Autogyro. Any leads would be appreciated.

Looking to acquire a salvaged Bell 505 Jet Ranger X – specifically the cockpit section, preferably from an airframe that was involved in an accident (overturned or with tail boom separation), but which still retains its full mechanical flight control systems (cyclic, collective, pedals, linkages, etc.). I am not looking for a flyable aircraft, but rather a structurally damaged one – ideally a write-off or parted-out airframe that includes the cabin and its internal flight control assemblies. I do not need any avionics or instrument panels. I will use the cabin to build a simulator.
