Robinson Helicopter R66 Turbine Full Down Autorotation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 мар 2020
- 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.

You know someone is a badass when they make an Autorotation look easy!
Right. Aaaand well just lower the collective and land like I never did 😂
Yes
best camera view, that's how is done, most people don't even know were to place their gopro most of the time, this was nice, it's like been there as a passenger or copilot.
Well that was rather smooth. DAAAMN nicely done!!
Not exactly difficult in 20kts gusting 26kts to be fair.
Says the dude who can’t.
Very smooth, love it!
Gifted instructor .... makes it look seamless
Nicely done Mischa! You executed that auto rotation like a boss. 👍👏👏
That big wind straight down the pipe makes it nice!
Very instructive, I love flying, the science behind
You make it look easy! good job!!
Nicely done Sir. Stay safe.
Awesome video of the autorotation ! Incredible
Wonderfully done!! Love Your Videos!
At the beginning of your video I went into Google Earth and I located your airport and BC Helicopters as well and I tracked the whole flight while watching Google Earth as well. Gave a different perspective to it for me. Thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the lovely videos.
The r66 and r44 are my favourite helicopters!
You are a stud! Great pilot!!!
Smooth touch down. Good job.
That was sweet. love it Mischa
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!
It takes at list 10 hour or so to understand helicopters brains how it works on the controls
@@Novadean1 I understand the controls and I do okay my only real problem is not gentle enough on the cyclic so doing a lot of over correcting. Just needed to remember not my dozer or excavator.

DUDE....SKYDOZER!!!!!!!
That would be badass!!!!
Getting inside the mind of thumbs down moron is definitely mind-boggling. No matter how good, optimistic, or positive a video may be, there is ALWAYS someone around to try and tear it down. I'll never understand it. They could find a cure for corona virus and sure as shit there'd be some asshole there to give it a thumbs-down. What a world we live in.
How true.
Great auto rotation demo. And the video describing WHY it works with the clutched gear with the pins in it made me confident that it works as you described. With engine low RPM or engine dead the clutch gear will let the rotor spin. Brilliant. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you.

Wow! Nicely done!
You must be a professional. Soooo Smooth! LOL. Always, great videos.
You made it look so smooth damn👍👍
That went much better than the auto rotation video I watched before this.
Awesome, bro! Keep moving forward!!! You do great job!!! 👏👏👏✊💪👍
Very smooth!
Very nicely done!
Holy crapow man, that was textbook! Nice bit of flying sir!
Great job buddy! Thank you!
Awesome job on the auto as well as your flare 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
That was smooth!
Love your rego GEAK (Geek) ------- good display of an autorotation
Textbook Captain Gelb! Well done.
Excellent Job Brother !
Stay safe my Friend
That was thoroughly enjoyable. Your camera set up and cinematography is simply outstanding, it gave me a visceral feeling to the point when you dumped power and collective , my hands started to get warm ....right on the verge of sweating :)
Verry nice job. Bravoo.
Very well done.
Hello Mischa, I like your videos very much , congratulation !!
One question, I have an R66 I also use a GoPro hero6 with external mic connected at the military plug, the lemo I use on the Bose A20. External audio its very clear but intercom sound very distorted. Did you use any special configuration. Thanks
Awesome video bro.
Nicely done👍
You make it look so easy.
Great auto 👍🏼
Smooth dude smooth
Awesome dude!
beautiful !!
Awesome. Good job
Purchased a BC Helicopter T-shirt. Hope this helps in a small way during the virus shut down and keep the videos coming. Bob H, Oceanside, Ca.
Robert Harper awesome thanks
Pilot Yellow My wife and I were planning a Canadian motor trip this year until the virus hit. The trip was to include a demo ride at BC Helicopters, I’ll keep it on the itinerary. Stay safe.
Robert Harper aww that would have been fun. I’m sure we’ll meet soon.
Very skilled!
nice! my son used to fly out that airport. cheers!
Thank you for the video.
Well done
another great video hope you guys are fine stay safe
Hi Mischa, watched this a couple of times as couldn't understand what was 'wrong' but I twigged it's because you're flying from the right seat which is very rare in your videos as you're normally with a student or colleague and sat on the left. Nice auto! Keep safe!
SUPER VIDEO
That blade has alt of inertia. Good Job!!
Beautiful
That was a nice auto to the touchdown.
I was pax in an Iroquois full down autorotation practice. It felt a lot more dramatic than that looked. as I recall it had the glide and trajectory of a brick but descent slowed right at the bottom as the skids eased into a field. One of those exciting never forgotten moments
That was Smooth
It was nice to be able to see the pedal inputs on the video since they removables were left in
Copters are just cool!
Excellent
Perfection
That looked smooth for that machine
VT
Damn smooth as peanut butter!
Good video ty subscribed
waiting to hear someone with a stuck mic on the radio saying "And guys don't forget to leave a like and subscribe" ;)
Very cool 😎
Awesome boy, love from india
#1 fan in California.
Good camera angle for seeing when and how quickly you raise collective. Thanks for a great example video.
True. Very slowly actually.
Could be interesting if seen from the ground too but i liked that demo sooooooooo much!
I'm getting so close to making the move to getting a helicopter rating because of these videos.
It's the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on ...
Flowlessly Yellow Pilot, thx for share
Smooth 👍
Great job and video. Thank you sir for posting.
That doesn't look nearly as scary from the inside as it does from the outside! You made it look easy, nicely done
The 44 and the 66 glide very nicely in autos.. full downs are almost a non event.
20 gusting 26 kts, Makes it really easy.
Nice vid thanks.
"Winds 180 at 17 gusting 26."
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang
You need a Bell UH-1. Now they are a majestic beast. Like the Robinson's too, a guy in our area has a Robinson 44 think it was a 6 cylinder Lycoming in it. Rode with him twice, wanna go again this summer.
I wish I had an r66 standing by ready to go and do a quick run around.
Great video, thanks ! What is the airport, and what are the twin turboprops in the background, looking like DC-3s ?
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.
The skid plates on the R66 are impressively tough, myself and other pilots I trained with did a lot of sliding down the runway practicing run on landings and full down autos and the wear on the skid plates was hardly measurable!
@@nathanemilywillems9699 thanks! I’ve been wondering just how hard it is on the machines. I’m hesitant to do full-down autorotations just for fear of adding extra wear and tear. It’s already EXPENSIVE enough just owning a helicopter! 😉
Nice!
I used to do autos there in a 205 with Frontier , when they were around.
Nice job..
Nice job that full auto. I was lucky enough to train in a R22 and always loved the silence of the autorotation. That R66 looks like a dream to fly.
R22 autos require a lot of work. When I got into an Astar those things just float. They're magical
Great Job, now back to the couch everyone..lol
Nice.
Nice
That thing has some decent lift to it!
@Jim Carter It was designed for piston power. Putting in a turbine to create the R66 was an afterthought.
Damn boi 👌🏻👌🏻🥸
My CPL(H) expired years ago, your video brought back memories of doing this in a 1st generation R22 without correlator...
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
Hello!
the video is very good! The sound is very clear! What device do you put on the camera?
Toss a couple of sandbags on that empty front seat when flying solo, it makes a huge difference and helps keep the nose down.
Nice auto brother.
YOUR LIVING MY DREAM. EAMON IN IRELAND. ❤❤❤❤👍👍☘☘
Nice👏👏👏
Super like !
Seems much smoother than I remember doing them in an R22 many years ago. My recollection is it was like falling like a rock.
It’s not an R22.
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
