I remember reading an account of a accident in a H500 where the pilot, who was experienced in flying practice autorotations, had an engine failure and performed poorly in the ensuing auto. He basically landed very hard and in the summary he cited the difference in performance with the engine idling and completely off line. Could be a number of factors of course, including the 500 autos like a brick. Wish I could remember where I saw the article, any help?
