Hi,
The autos is not so easy to feel comftable with and they require a lot of training (and also training to stay current on). You have to remember that you still have very limited flight experience
When I was teaching autos to students I used to brake the auto down to 4 steps.
1. The Entry
2. The Glide
3. The Flare
4. Power recovery (in most cases, especially if you train in an R22)
It looks like that you have some problems with the Flare. The flare is not a magic thing that happens during a couple seconds...it is just normal flying and you have to do the flying! I used to brake down the flare in two staps.
Step 1. At about 40 feet (R22) start to do a very gentle flare and level off so the aircraft is flying along the ground at 5-10 feet and then
Step 2. Start to tighten up the flare to get rid of forward speed. When you still have some forward motion (maybe 10 kts in 0 wind condition) start level of the aircraft.
It is very important that you maintain your airspeed during the glide. As you come close to the ground (lets say at about 100 feet) the airpseed wants to bleed of (because the head wind is less close to the ground)
so you have to add some forward pressure on the cyclic (pressure only not movement)to maintain proper airspeed). So, until lets say 40 -50 feet maintain airspeed by looking on airpeed indicator).
Try to do a "cyclic flare" ie. so you only use your cyclic during the flare (especially if you fly an R22). To judge your flare you can not look strait down on the spot you are going to, because you will only see
"green grass rushing toward you" with a terrible speed. It is therefore important that when you start flaring very gently at about
40 feet start to look well ahead of the intended spot you are going to (maybe 200-300 feet in front of the spot). Then you are ably to judge your flare very precisly so you end up flying along the gtround at about 10 feet. And then (and only then)
start to tighten up your flare to get rid of forward speed.
I had my students very often to write on the paper the autorotation (the 4 steps + 2 steps for the flare ) and then to explain in detail the hole manouvre to me. You can train autos in your mind when you are at home. Just sit down in the sofa, close your eyes and "fly true the hole manouvre in your head" with all the steps, speeds etc.... and itīs free, no charge
Just be carefull so your naibourgs don't see you doing it
Just go with an openmind for the next lesson and ask for a good briefing on the autos with your instructor before practising in the air.
Goooood Luck
