What should I read up on before flying Second-in-Command of a Sikorsky S-61? Or other two pilot aircraft?

Question

Hey guys, I'm anxious to get this job flying second in command in a S-61. Kinda wonder if there are some regs, or special procedures i should read up on to be one step ahead, if i get this job. Any and all advice helpful! Possible first piloting job!

-Thanks!

Answer 1

That's a pretty large helicopter. Good luck and get the job!!!

Answer 2

im curious can the Sikorsky s-61 land in the water and float?

Answer 3

Assuming it's in the states, I did not find any S-FARs on that model and I've never flown it myself, so I would stick to the basics, the operators manual and the companies safety policies and procedures, ask if they have a seperate manual for crew coordination.

Good luck to you.

Answer 4

i am not sure what exactly you are reffering to, but:

you should be familiar with the user manual, restrictions and emergency procedures for that helicopter.

you should be familiar with the opertaing procedures of the company that employs you to fly that aircraft.

you should probably have the ATPL h too.

sou also should be authorised to fly that type, unless the company is willing to switch from other helicopter type and retrain you.

plus all the necessary information and studies to be a pilot.

Answer 5

The Cat In The Hat

I also suggest Green Eggs and Ham

I hope you find these books helpful, and good luck.

Maybe you should go ahead and get your type rating, eh? How old are you?
