Zero-Speed Autorotation With 360 Degree Turn - What if Your Engine Quits and the Spot Is Below You?

  • Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
  • This is a reference video of unedited footage from inside the cockpit during zero-speed autorotations in an R22 helicopter.
    This maneuver itself is not required for Private or Commercial ratings, but maybe considered for 'Enhanced training in autorotation procedures' under SFAR 73, especially for a CFI SFAR 73 checkride. Otherwise it is good training to help a student become more confident and accomplished in autorotations generally and serves a real world purpose for possible engine failure in an out of ground effect hover over an confined area.

    In a 500D I remember we just used to fly backwards until the spot we wanted to land on came into view, then pushed the nose down to recover forward speed and perform a normal auto from that point.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  3 года назад +1

      Yeah we used to call that a 'falling leaf' - not done that for a while. Would be good to compare the results with a 180 pedal turn and another 180 back to spot. I think the limiting factor on backwards would be the slower backward speed & extra drag that might cause a greater descent rate.. Maybe... But you do keep the spot in front at all times if you go back... Might be a better option at a lower entry - better than nothing at least. Interesting...What was the lowest altitude you did that?

    Even after watching it, that sounds insane. I didn't even know it was possible. My understanding was that you had to have forward speed.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  9 лет назад +7

      Ernie Torres To turn the rotor blades in an autorotation you just need air to move from below, up through the rotor disk. BUT to make successful & safe landing, in most cases you will need forward airspeed that you can use in a flare when you have run out of altitude, to keep the blades turning as you decelerate the descent and forward airspeed. Saying that, it is possible to make a zero/low airspeed, no-flare auto to the ground: ruclips.net/video/cpHMqvoD4j0/видео.html

    • @billbailey1403
      @billbailey1403 7 лет назад

      Ernie Torres-
      You need forward speed only when you flare at the end of your autorotation.

    • @Roblx518
      @Roblx518 7 лет назад

      bill bailey if you don't bring it, where do you get it at the end? Your lack of experience and commitment to proving your misunderstanding correct is fucking annoying.

    • @jonathanmoore9661
      @jonathanmoore9661 7 лет назад +1

      They did have forward speed, isn't that why they distanced themselves from the airport? If you visualize a helicopter with only the airflow keeping the blades spinning dropping out of the sky without forward motion to permit a flair, it makes sense to me that it would smack the earth then catastrophe.

    • @gulfair-cavalry-tango1011
      @gulfair-cavalry-tango1011 5 лет назад

      Some altitude is traded for forward airspeed in a zero airspeed autorotation.

  • @blackbirdpilotxx
    @blackbirdpilotxx 5 лет назад +1

    The auto was started without forward airspeed, but he did trade altitude for forward airspeed as he got closer to the ground. That’s why he ended up past the thousand foot mark on the runway. I am a instrument and commercial rated helicopter pilot if you’re curious.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  4 года назад

      Yep. I have seen an R44 do a zero speed to the ground - with a good headwind, light on payload. Very risky if you mess up the timing. Not something I'd try.

  • @tastycougs
    @tastycougs 7 лет назад

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos

      Larger helicopters with higher rotor inertia might be able to come straight down, with a light load and some headwind.

  • @LK-pc4sq
    @LK-pc4sq 7 лет назад

    What is the min AGL before a auto rotate cannot land safly?

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  6 лет назад

      That is a great question, but it depends on the airspeed, air density, loading of the aircraft etc. Manufacturers produce a diagram to show speed and height combinations (often called the height velocity diagram) that have been shown to produce a 'safe' autorotation. For the R22 at zero airspeed the charts shows as low as 400' AGL. See a bit more about it here ruclips.net/video/RJ8SAnwxD6I/видео.htmlm29s

  • @jamesdowns72
    @jamesdowns72 6 лет назад

    Is it possible to do a straight down zero velocity autorotation all the way to touchdown? Or must you always transition to forward flight and do the flare at the end? i.e. If there was just one little patch in the trees you had to land in, without the room for that forward flight, flaring part... could you just drop straight down into it and pull up on collective just before touchdown?

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  6 лет назад +1

      I have seen videos of a no flare autorotation in an R44 helicopter, lightly loaded and about 15 knots of head wind. Requires very precise timing and specific conditions. Not practiced by student pilots as the conditions are unlikely and it is relatively dangerous if you get it wrong. Check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/cpHMqvoD4j0/видео.html

    • @flyjunkee

      @BobABooey. 6 лет назад +1

      Low rotor warning, not stall.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  6 лет назад

      That 80% number (with the +1%) that Ryan mentioned was put out by Robinson. I understand actual blade stall may starter lower than that, but it is a good number to keep in mind when practicing autorotation and low RPM recovery - even if there might be an area of margin beyond.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  6 лет назад

      You mentioned "80% to 104% ...in about 4 seconds" - I'd say a lot faster if you pull aft cyclic (assuming you have the airspeed). But I hear your point - best stay away from 80% (even max glide configuration is up around 90%). Also agree best to find out mis-rigged on a solo mx check flight with plenty of altitude.

      @tracywilkinson1820 7 лет назад

      Full downs are rare in training because it beats up the ship and trashes the skid shoes. We do practice them but not all the time, 98% of the thousands of autos you will practice end with a power on recovery at hover altitude and about a walking pace.. Even if you balled up the helicopter you'd walk away from it. You have to demonstrate full touchdown autos in the CFI syllabus

      Not sure about that - what about a hot air balloon 'aircraft'? A helicopter can get that 'forward speed' by the rotor blade rotating forward, even as the body of the helicopter is stationary - this is how it hovers...

  • @flyerh
    @flyerh 3 года назад

    Total rubbish, that was a power recovery that can be done in any helicopter,the fact that the low rotor warning came up three times shows you a low time pilot would be in serious trouble in a real situation.

    • @HelicopterTrainingVideos
      @HelicopterTrainingVideos  3 года назад +3

      I don't understand your comments - 1) Yes it was a power recovery - this wasn't titled "Full down". 2) Any auto (full down or not) can be done in "any helicopter" - so what is your point? 3) What makes you think the low RPM warning is a bad thing? RPM down there gives the best glide - it is not a limitation, just a warning.
