Inside the AW139 Cockpit | Real Offshore Flight | The Challenge of Recording Cockpit Audio

🚁 AW139 Offshore Flight | Cockpit Audio Explained | Offshore Landing | Visual Approach EHKD Welcome aboard! 👋 Join Mehrshad and me on a real-world Leonardo AW139 offshore flight over the North Sea. Today, we're heading out for a crew change at the Noble Resolute. During the cruise, I explain some of the challenges of recording audio inside a helicopter cockpit. With extremely high noise levels, recording clear and usable audio is not as straightforward as you might think! It's autumn in the North Sea, which often brings dramatic clouds, beautiful skies and some spectacular views from the cockpit. 🚁 It's also great to be back flying on the line this week after spending quite a bit of time in the simulator. And next week, it's back to Italy for more training! Sit back, join us in the cockpit and enjoy a real-world offshore helicopter operation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚁 ABOUT HELICHRIS AVIATION I'm a full-time offshore helicopter pilot and a certified Type Rating Instructor and Examiner (TRI/TRE) on the Leonardo AW139 and AW189.
