any way to figure out what helicopter keeps flying over my work?

Do you have the registration number?

 

Post a pic?

 

Yes, please a pic or two...

If you know it landing at a given location, then get the N number off the side of it and go here http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Inquiry.aspx enter the number (minus the letter N at the front of the number.) It will tell you all the poop on it.

 

Google Sikorsky or Eurocopter. See if a pic shows up you recognize.

 

is this it?

This maybe?

Fricking AIRWOLF flies over your work? I am so frickin jealous.

 

Ha. Yep. Bell 222

Only one I could think of that looks like it has wings.

 

How about this? It's a concept but flying. I'd be surprised if it was in the U.S.

I blew up his photo to 200%, and while it's hard to tell, it looks like an S-76 type of helicopter; possibly a similar model from Westland or Eurocopter. It does not look like a Bell 222 to me.

 

Agusta?

N101RX

 

Looks like it could be an S-76 i.e. UH-60 Blackhawk, but at that distance hard to tell. If I could hear it I could tell you in a second.

blowing the picture up the exhaust is in the right place, the flat flight profile, and what looks like the rear wing i.e. stabilator. as well as the slope of the dash.

I flew them for 9 years

 

You are correct, sir. The RX in the tail number's a dead giveaway.

Flights are only tracked if a flight plan is filed and you request to be tracked. You aren't tracked in your car are you?

Helicopters don't usually file and ask to be tracked. That's only for bad weather situations which helicopters don't normally deal with anyways.

It's a common misconception that you have to file a flight plan to fly. You don't. You don't need to even be on the radio talking to anyone either. Just go fly.

 

Airports don't matter either. You're only tracked if you want to be.

You can even have your tail number blocked so when you are being tracked its still only known to ATC and not published at all.

 

if the picture was taken near princeton, nj i would say it was our company twin turbine agusta. very fast!!!

 

LaGuardia would get pretty mad at me if I took the chopper over NYC without chatting with them beforehand. Depends where you're flying.

 

True. But you can do it VFR and still not be tracked on Flightaware.
