POV Helicopter Autorotation | Schweizer 296C-1

What happens when the engine fails in a helicopter? An autorotation! Here’s what one looks like in action helicopter #autorotation #training #schweizer #pov #gopro #sportys

That first warning sound indicated that the hot pockets were done.

It is a simulated engine failure! There IS aut rotation ocurring while the engine is at idle speed. He simply added power at the end recover "with power" This is a a very good, and required practice technique.

[keithharley]

That was a power recovery. A little different to a full on autorotation. Power recoveries are useful in the beginning of learning but full on need to be experienced too.

Those 269's really drop! I can have a cup of coffee on the way down in an R44.

[ABC-Machine-Basics]

Yeah those are fun ! Flying and landing without a tail rotor ( simulated ) is a blast too !

[brandonsyatessr.]

I didn't realize you can practice for this. I thought it was like an "Ok, but did you die" kind of deals if it happened.

Great helicopters the schweizer 300 i have trained in theses,

Fld elev - approx 800ft
Descent from 1500ft at approx 1700ft/min.
Autorotation to power recovery, did snap the throttle open abruptly but it's a sim so well done.

[Yaman-D-Chhaya]

This is recovery with power, but this is not full authorisation, In full auto rotation you don't add power but use the speed you gain to turn propeller faster, and use collective to flare nearing ground!! Try to do this without adding engine power yet touching down soft, great video dear, God bless you, Happy Landings!!

Worked with a helicopter co. And I asked all the right questions-the pilots got me an hour lesson- did an autorotation and found it easier with one less thing to adjust! Later on, had gone with one of the pilots (Vietnam Vet) up in a Jet Ranger with his friend and suddenly nosed over from 1000feet ! I was hanging onto my seat and thanked them- they hadn’t warned me!! Sheesh !

[jinbe-san]

the beeping made my cats run away immediately

[Parnelli]

I loved doing this in flight school so much that my IP used it to calm me down when I got up tight.

[hotprop]

Nice sim, they are getting to be very good

[BritishTightEnd]

That rotor brake is looking extremely pullable today 😂

[mellewisselo]

Jezus Christ that runway went through the dinosaurs extinction.

[sentrasl]

Quando começou a apitar, eu já iria querer pular do helicóptero.

[carlosTOlagosul]

Non è un auto rotation! E un recupero! 😎

[TheOldMan]

we run gimbals here power recovery at 300 agl 1 for the service letter 2 to avoid that kick at the end, especially in winds ie crosswinds may not have enough power at the end to recover from that kick ie enough pedal right away interesting to watch the differences in birds

[BrdTheWrd]

I want to learn how to fly a helicopter one day.

[MJAVIATION]

I think he got mixed up with a helipad and a runway😂😂😂 lol
