S-92 Autorotation Video

Dear Lutefisk989,

Your note is absolutely correct, but during development/certification testing, the simulation tools are simply lagging the whole process and nowhere near in the state to convince anyone as to their validity in assuring that a replication of the entire autorotative landing would be valid. In fact, at certification we were still using flight test data to update/upgrade/modify the Flight Safety S-92 simulation, not the other way around.

So in reality there was not much choice: the landing had to be done.

Thanks,
John
