  • Here in the U.S., particularly on the west coast, there are a few government agencies that practice full down autos with B2 Astars on a regular basis! We do literally "hundreds" of them (EACH STUDENT) in our training program for our pilots before being "singed off" on the Astars. 180's too.

  • @ColtDeltaElite10mm This is what should be done by all operators... it's a significant cost, so they think more on how much they would spend with regular training then on how much w'd cost an accident or crash because of unprepared crew.

  • That was great! Thanks for posting! Very cool! Only 700 feet AGL? So walk me thru it. ... is it 1) right pedal + collective down? Fast? When do you push forward? Right away? Or, wait for RPM? Or? .... target airspeed? Thanks,

  • @LarryCanFly

    Thanks Larry!!

    yeah, the "dead man curve" start's at 500ft agl, so we had 200ft to gain more rpms...

    actually is: 1) collective down ( first of all, so you wont miss much rpms and will gain blade attitude fast to start speeding up). THEN, left pedal, the astar is an french clockwise turning rotor, so, to compensate the torque, we use right pedal, but, as theres no torque, youll need left pedal to maintain aligned trim and nose. after that nose down and chase the numbrs...

see all

  • Nao passaria um alfinete!

  • You guys are allowed to have observers while doing autos, wish we could here.

  • _Good grief. ` I would've had gone into cardiac arrest seeing the ground come rushin' up like that. ` ☺_

  • This is the best video on youtube displaying what an auto is. Great job!

  • holy cow, thats scary!

  • well i would have pooped everywhere

  • I would have crapped My pants

  • Do you have to feather the collective a little bit to maintain healthy rotor RPM?
