Hi Nomads
R22 max weight, 1600ft and take out eng for Auto all the way down to gently caress mother earth,this was done by moi, at Sherburn in Elmet North Yorshire, last February whilst on my yearly test, the only time I felt a little unsure was around the 30ft mark, but after a lot of hauling back on the stick and keeping eveything steady we did a nice sort of jump of the bottom step sort of landing plus a little run on, main rotor on the R22 lose's energy very very quickly but at that point you are only a few feet from the brown stuff, with the way the CFi did the set up he remarked after that it was a lot like that when the thing really goes quiet, but after another one I felt a little more happy at my survivability in Mr Robbies pet bird, I try to have a mock auto to 300ft recovery at least every 6 weeks, might sound a little over the top when you listen to others but at least I feel happy doing them!
