Everyone fears something. For us, we accept that helicopters can be dangerous. To this point emergency procedures are continually discussed, studied and trained to the point of being instinctual. You get nervous at times when first starting out, and then with experience you gain more confidence with your ability, aircraft and operating environment. There is always the knowledge that something could happen. But pilots can’t function as pilots being afraid of this.
I might have said that because I am not a pilot & hence thought helicopters strike fear in to the hearts of pilots. but i understand that over a period of time u guys get easy with all the aspects of heli`s & the risk involved with it..& I respect u guys for that
apart from all this, seeing the earth from above & those beautiful seneries ...wow! u guys enjoy life to the fullest.
cheers!
