Lesson on Autorotations - Part 1

Join the Heli Network Facebook Page

This video is of me and Steve, a private addon with 15hrs total time practicing some autorotations in an R22 Helicopter at the Gatlinburg airport (GKT). This video describes step by step instruction on how to perform an autorotation and many of the common mistakes made, which can be seen on the video.

At 30.0 hrs Steve passed his private checkride with flying colors.

For all expenses for training including headset, carparts, new laptop, college loan, helicopter training, and all rent/food/gas for a year = $54,000

@michaelmiller85 Now is that for your personal or for your commercial? I'm trying to get my personal for 9000 USD.

[michaelmiller85]

@The561Hero It is about $11,000 for your private license.

@michaelmiller85 Do you still teach at SCC?

[michaelmiller85]

@9mrman As of January 4 i no longer worked at SCC. I'm currently in Alabama as a flight instructor in training at Ft. Rucker.

Hey Mike. Thanks for your videos - they standout from, well...most. I'm having a hell of a time nailing shallow approaches to run on landings. It's the run-on part obviously that's killing me but I'm just not sure why. The combination of keeping MAP under ~16-17 inches while maintaining a 2-3 ft altitude and applying aft cyclic to drop out of ETL w/o sliding 25 yds has me hung up! Anyway, I'd love to get your cockpit view/commentary if you find yourself doing it sometime! Thx again.

@michaelmiller85 I've seen and been told it's normally going to run around 80,000 USD just for the flight training.
