Autos are done to the ground in training. I'm only in my 8th hour of training to add a helo rating so I made a point of asking today after reading this post the other day. My mistake was asking before we were done training today. eesh.
And around here headsets are provided in the R22. Not sure whey they're not provided more for fixed-wing rentals. The new R22s come standard with the Bose X which are EXCELLENT!
