Running Landing during an EOL....our standard was one skid length maximum to a designated spot....but then we got lots of practice.

Yes....the Huey is a high inertia rotor system and is a sweetheart to do touch down autorotations with, as are Bell 206's, and 212's.

BO's, BK's MD-500's, 76's, Alouette III's..are fun but lose rotor rpm quickly.

Chinooks were landed up to 60 KTS but could be coaxed to a near zero ground roll if you did it right.....and was a rewarding feeling when you did.
