Wind and Auto Training for Instructors

Must say, if ur doing full on, to the ground autorotations, a windy day is nice. Ground Speed ends up being zero. In fact 35 kts is kinda nice, still thru transition. Looking at the dust and stuff that was blowing that day, not sure how gusty it was.

One can always question the intelligence/sanity of doing power off landings in a R22. Makes u wonder if cheap is always better. But if it was for Instructors Rating prep, it is a requirement.
