@DBDMotorsports Yes just like a plane will continue toi fly/glide and a car will continue to move/coast. They keep the main rotor speed up by letting it feather into the updraft and then pull alot of lift from the collective to keep from slamming into the ground and allow a soft landing/recovery. This isnt always possible depending on the height the engine cuts out and other factors to consider SO its best to train for them so the response is automatic and calm.
I thought that looked like Lansing, Il. Used to fly over often to go to Shannon's for lunch or dinner from La Porte, IN. Saw those little choppers flying around all the time.
Always wanted to add the rotary wind rating but never could afford it.
Hey its 224 Bravo Charlie! got my intrument rating in that pig!
Hows Ken?
I did plenty of these there, but we didnt usually start at 1200AGL more like 700. But I notice you didnt push forward till abotu the same point anyway.
@jm431 runways are safer than grass because they allow the helicopter to slide. landing in the grass the skids could catch, causing the helicopter to flip. Also, the R22's landing gear can absorb a surprisingly hard landing, I know that from personal experience
flying a REAL helicopter must be amazing. there great in video games and simulators. however i dont suppose you get a second chance at a back flip in a REAL helicopter.
@TheJoeWin This may be a huge assumption on my part but do you suppose the poster of this video meant the autorotation was initiated at zero airspeed? I'm betting most folks thought that as well.
It's crazy how I noticed every movement he made just by flying X-plane, I could see him pulling pitch as he slowed to 0 speed by watching the Man. Press., watched the right pedal input when he chopped the throttle..It's amazing what simulators can do!
@helipilot3333 you've obviously never flown into or anywhere near Torrance. And power recovery? C'mon! The only way to learn how to safely land a Helicopter in the event of an emergency is with a full touch down. Why wouldn't your instructor at least demonstrate one for you? It's good practice for the procedures, but not from zero airspeed. Try some 4 ft. Hovering autos. Those are always fun! :D good to see footage of the R22 in training up too! Great camera! P.S. Where you goin with your train
@LarryCanFly Correct !. Settling with power requires ALL three ingredients at the same time: 1) high rate of descent, 2) power applied, and 3) low airspeed. High rate of descent creates an upwards air flow through the blades. Power applied creates an induced air flow down through the blades. With low airspeed there is nothing to dissipate the conflicting airflows, and settling with power (vortex ring condition) exists. Take away one or more ingredient and the problem no longer exists.
Settling with power require airspeed below ETL, higher than 30% power, and higher than 300ft/min decent rate. It's fun when you really get into and fall about 700 feet when you are only 1500ft AGL lol.
To see instruments clearly try watching at 720p. Descent rate didn't exceed 2000fpm. However, 1500fpm maximum would be ideal. I'm not too familiar with decent rates:)
@magnetmonkey Hate to tell you this, but you are most likely not correct. Before you shoot me down, let me tell you I am a certificated fixed-wing pilot. I do not fly helicopters. But the VSI is the exact same. The needle will continue to move until it maxes out at 2000 fpm descent. So it is accurate only up to 2000 fpm. Meaning that you are going AT LEAST 2000 fpm and, given the movement of the needle before max, you exceeded that.
Wait, so a helicopter will still fly with the engine cut?

Absolutely. I have my rotorcraft rating in the R44.
Someone said you can't do 0 speed autos. It is definitely possible.

Bring airspeed to 0 lower collective.. where's speed in that
PrecisionRecords1990 3 months ago
@PrecisionRecords1990 it is possible to get the airspeed indicator to read zero airspeed, depends on how strong the head wind is.

That looks like the airstrip near Torrance. Were you at the Robinson safety course? Those zero speed autos are so fun!!!

wow, that was awesome! Thanks! --- so quiet. Great to see the RPM and hear the gearbox. Then slowly gaining airspeed.
I guess there is not such thing as settling-with-power .... without power?
