I have flown AS332L. AS355 and S76 and have never done autos terminating in ground contact ever. we always finish to a power recovery in hover unless we go-around before of course.

I cannot imagine why anyone would do a touchdown auto with the throttles back in a twin, whats the point, high risk for low return, how many double engine failures are you going to get anyway, not very many

When I was flying singles we did them all the time for obvious reasons. but never even seen someone do a full down in a twin.

didnt think I was out of line with the norm here, or am I ?

regards

CF
