Landing a Helicopter When the Engine Quits | Autorotation Training

Autorotation is a way for helicopters to glide to a safe landing following an engine failure. In this video, James Baker, the owner/chief helicopter pilot for Rogue Aviation, instructs me through various autorotation techniques. If you need helicopter flight instruction in the greater Los Angeles area, consider Rogue Aviation (www.flyrogue.com). Thanks for flying with me! #micahflies

I miss those pandemic day videos where he flew over a quiet LA

[@digby_dooright]

Those videos were epic!! 😮😽

[@rztrzt]

@@digby_dooright I loved them!

[@JeremyBechtold]

Love your aviation content.. that's actually how I found you.

[@MicahMuzio]

Even though we mostly focus on cars these days, I love making the aviation videos when I can. Thanks for watching!

[@flashcar60]

The near-zero airspeed was a revelation to me. Keeps these updates coming. Thanks.

[@johnbuchanan3671]

Re-Visited this after recent story of Texas UH-72 helicopter crash. I was an Army helicopter mechanic that always thought auto-rotation gave helicopters an accident survival advantage. Sad it's not in all situations.

[@gwgrote5]

Awesome video Micah! What a beautiful day to be up in your toy. 😎

[@icanmanifest]

That was fantastic Micah! Definitely continue more helicopter videos. And maybe do one where you talk about Flying Eyes and why you like them so much. They do look great.

[@toxicrealitymedia]

I miss these flying vids man!

[@MicahMuzio]

Same. It's hard to carve out time for them but when I can I do.

[@danielsegreti4475]

I’m here for the helicopter videos.

[@beardown6574]

Good stuff Micah! Very fascinating the technique involved in those maneuvers.

[@jasoncyclist]

Great video Micah! Very informative and interesting! Thanks for always posting quality content! 👍🏻😎

[@toxicrealitymedia]

SYNOPSIS! Awesome video man! 😂

[@patrickjennings7362]

Good stuff, as always! I’ve moved my 280fx north from DC to New Hampshire where I still practice my autos at least monthly!

[@helipilot5393]

Great instructor and great video!! Well done!

[@ishmael1024]

Fantastic! I really enjoyed this video

[@stretch4169]

Nicely done, great to be a passenger and see what your tend to do instinctively but can’t remember due to workload. Thanks, happy flying! 👍🏽

[@conrado800]

Great video 👊💥

[@cordellnaugle4]

Cool video👍

[@theheliguy]

Nice flying Micah 😉

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video!😸

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks for watching, Ryan!

[@ralphwoodard609]

As for the answer to your question, if we would like to see more of the same stuff? Yes I would. I am though is a little disappointed that we don’t have more helicopter videos. I know they’re expensive and I am trying to help, see what you can do. Micha. Safe fly my friend.

[@jamesonpace726]

Yeah, fixed wing is better. No sour grapes here, at all. Not even a little. No, sir. Nope, nope, no sour grapes....

[@AdventureAir]

Hey Micah, you still have an open invitation to come and fly with us at CNO. It's a great way to build rotor time and so much fun!

[@MicahMuzio]

Honestly, gyrocopters kinda freak me out. But at some point I'll man up and come join ya. :)

[@AdventureAir]

@@MicahMuzio They are actually safer than a helicopter. No need to autorotate since they're already in autorotation. At the very least, when you're in the area, come by and visit us at Eagle's Nest II.

[@BoopSnoot]

Something about a girl named Cierra from the Zulu tribe that needs Whiskey?

[@conrado800]

LOL her friend Delta is coming

[@levigato125]

Is that a helicopter runway at LGB? I never knew that was there in the middle of the field.

[@MicahMuzio]

Pretty cool, huh? The instructors are always eager to snag pad 3.

[@conrado800]

Trying to decide if I want to learn a Cessna or a helicopter…

[@MicahMuzio]

If you're not absolutely obsessed with helicopters, I recommend the Cessna. You'll save a small fortune.

[@scrappycoco3687]

How does he fly so low over the ground without the motor on???

[@conrado800]

It’s normal

[@FlyingEyesWorld]

first 😎

[@MicahMuzio]

Flying Eyes, y'all always have my back!

[@Getgoing823]

SECOND 😂

[@mrradio2187]

No!

[@MicahMuzio]

This is quietly the funniest comment so far.

[@forevermobility8790]

This is bull shit!😂

[@MicahMuzio]

Can you be more specific?
