  • In this video you get a Turbine start on the Robinson R66 helicopter. Then I go on a circuit and perform a full down power off autorotation. Also know as a forced approach or an engine failure.

    Was always my dream many years ago to get my helicopter license was never in the financial cards. I was lucky enough to go up in a few different helicopters and take the controls for a short period on a couple occasions. Each time I think the pilot feared for his life. So now I live the dream vicariously through your videos. Every time I watch one I always wonder what kind of moron would give them a thumbs down!

    Nicely done. Back when I was much younger and in the Marine Corps, I was an avionics crew chief (that was pretty rare back then - not sure it's even allowed anymore) on UH-1N Hueys in the squadron out of New River. I couldn't count all the autorotations we did. 90% of them were not full - only about 10' off the ground. But I don't recall ever actually doing a full autorotation on the runway. It was always on the strip of grass next to the runaway. It seemed to be a lot easier on the skids because of compliance and a little more ability to slide once we touched down. Even when we did what we called cut-guns - hover about 3' off the ground and kill the throttle - always on the grass because those were harder on the bird than anything else. Not a critique - just a difference. Yours was right on the money and that's all that's important. Any landing you walk away from is a good one. Well done.

    • @TimToussaint
      @TimToussaint 3 года назад

      When the engine is off, it doesn’t matter whether you have a correlator or not. Actually, all helicopters have correlators (incl the old R22), but not all have a governor (I suppose that’s what you meant). As a matter of fact, in a practice autorotation to the ground, you actually have to disconnect (override) the correlator

      It's an R66-- heavier blades than a 44 and a lighter airframe, so say nothing of the comparison to an R22-- and its blowing 20-25kts: the thing barely requires pilot inputs to autorotate well in those conditions. Even an R22 almost feels accommodating with a 25kt headwind :P
