Spectacular! Helicopter avoids a crash with the autorotation

Autorotation is a state of flight in which the main rotor system of a helicopter or other rotary-wing aircraft turns by the action of air moving up through the rotor, as with an autogyro, rather than engine power driving the rotor. The term autorotation dates to a period of early helicopter development between 1915 and 1920, and refers to the rotors turning without the engine. It is analogous to the gliding flight of a fixed-wing aircraft. (Font Wikipedia)

I know that each chopper pilot is able to make an autorotation landing, but man this guy has huge balls! Respect!

Every GTA player, “I don’t see a problem with this.”

When you forget that you are piloting a helicopter not an airplane.

[@Deusmecumest]

Great piloting skills. It's just a few seconds, but the reaction time is just a fraction of a second. And having seen a deadly crash on that same type of bird, a fraction of a second can be too late.

[@consentofthegoverned5145]

Let's be clear, he did not avoid a crash. That is a crash landing by all definitions. What he avoided was a catastrophic and potentially fatal crash.

[@ianberry5879]

That's not an autorotation that saved a helicopter from crashing. He may have been practicing autos but he crashed. Engine was still running after the very hard landing.

[@fardmek]

That is an accident during TRAINING of autorotation! The pilots misdjuges the sinkrate and hit the ground too hard, simply a big miscalculation but they survive...

[@troygreen9321]

That's what I call coming in hot 🔥

[@osumbuckeyenut]

He didn't AVOID anything!!! That was a CRASH... And it was not an engine failure, it was training.

[@gk1771]

Not just being able to perfectly execute an auto rotate and save the aircraft and its passengers without damage at all, but also picked the perfect spot and toughed down accurately. Almost seems like a training exercise.

[@briantegeder8262]

I got to auto rotate in a CH46 when I was in the Marine Corps. It was just for training, but it was still pretty cool. Props to this person for saving it.

Correct Video Title: "Spectacular! Helicopter crashes while attempting autorotation"

[@omegahyperes96]

I always thought helos would simply fall out of the sky without power. Nicely done!

[@TheMichaelBeck]

Mad respect for that pilot.

[@threadoflife]

I’ve done several auto’s and experience a full down with a 10k plus hour IP next to me, I wouldn’t call it beautiful. They’re alive and that’s a beautiful thing but to split the skids like that is a hard landing and then some, the pilot should have had enough air speed and positive rotor RPM to pull back on the cyclic and generate enough lift before doing a full down, if this was a training 180 auto then it should have been conducted as a power on recovery with no touch down to begin with. Looks to me like an oh shit decent possible communication error or not enough altitude or potentially something went wrong with the engine and rotor RPM’s causing decay during their decent, in any case they are alive and that’s a blessing to live to tell the story.

🤝Жму руку пилоту. Железная выдержка. Мастер своего дела

[@adamcorley3827]

Most impressive skill I’ve seen in a long while! Props!

Esse é dos bons !!!

Это не вертолёт изумительный а пилот - Мастер с стальными нервами.
