Advanced Autorotations
Would you like to improve your autorotations and work on energy management? Then look no further! During this course, we shall first start with ground on how to manage energy and speed in an autorotation as well as the difference between the power recovery and full touchdown versions.
This will be followed by demonstration followed by performance and finally evaluation in flight. The flights shall start off with a normal configuration autorotation and engine failure and will move into energy management and finally touchdown autorotation practice.
The aim of this course is to teach real world scenarios to handle autorotations better. Using power, energy and airspeed management or a combination will help pilots gauge what technique to use and when to better make a spot. This would also be an awesome opportunity for a seasoned pilot to shake some rust off and get back in the autorotation saddle.
The flights can be chosen to be flown in either the R22, R44 or the R66 or a combination thereof.
