Robinson Helicopter R66 Turbine Full Down Autorotation

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!

Smooth, highly competent auto rotation.

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.

[Jusaxi]

Well that was rather smooth. DAAAMN nicely done!!

[pilotpeego]

Nicely done Mischa! You executed that auto rotation like a boss. 👍👏👏

[rdspeedfab]

That big wind straight down the pipe makes it nice!

[mikepaz]

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 :)

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.

The r66 and r44 are my favourite helicopters!

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.

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.

Holy crapow man, that was textbook! Nice bit of flying sir!

[johnshackleton]

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.

Awesome job on the auto as well as your flare 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

[palhein-reim]

Gifted instructor .... makes it look seamless

[jasonrwilkinson]

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!

Awesome video of the autorotation ! Incredible

[AussieVeteran]

Love your rego GEAK (Geek) good display of an autorotation
