helo

Robert Mason's book on being a Huey pilot in Vietnam, 'Chickenhawk'does a great job of explaining traditional helo dynamics.

That was the previous medium lift helo for the Marines (and the Navy until they retired the type in 2004).

So for one hour helo ops, you can purchase 2-3 parrot drones [5].

I checked the configs on two of my systems, one default, and one heavily customized, neither had the helo verification turned on.

I suspect the facts of hitting an emergency transplant helo from the local children's hospital with a child patient on-board and then repeatedly hitting a police helo sent to investigate would be equally or perhaps more compelling to a jury.

The helo I fly via conventional remote control unit already crashes all the time.

The annual risk of dying in the helo crash (taking the numbers from above) is 12 minutes flying RT * 12 RT/year = 144 minutes per year / 60 mins/hr * 1.44/100K or a risk of dying of 3.456 per 100K years.

This happened here in Seattle last year - a woman living next to a park looked out her second story bedroom window to find one of those toy-store, remote-controlled helo-drones hovering outside.

Even a small piston powered Robin helo is around $500 to operate per hour[1], and the smallest turbine powered ones are going to be around that figure just for the fuel: ~500 lb/h fuel consumption [2][3], JetA at > $6 / gallon [4].

(This is the math I'm least sure about.) Over that same 50 years, the helo has saved you 2000 hours of your life, for a net addition of almost months of life (assuming, as I do, you derive no value from the car ride to the airport).
