Autorotation is when you decrease the throttle to simulate power-loss, then drop the collective so the rotor blades act like a pinwheel as you fall rapidly towards earth, building rotor momentum, then you pull up the collective at about 50 feet to let that big pinwhell save your butt!

  • I was fortunate to have had an old time vietnam pilot as my instructor. We did autorotations to the ground without re-applying power. Power on with recovery to a hover is all the FAA requires but it is not the same feeling as all the way.

  • Nice but turn it off completely to simulate auto rotation.
