Night Autorotation Training

When the US Coast Guard put their single engine HH-52's into service, they implemented a night autorotation training sequence that was an autorotation by the numbers, so to speak, utilizing airspeed, radar altitude and the attitude indicator. They trained to the water. One of the pilots at SA, Kurt Cannon, who was later killed in the S-67 crash at Farnborough, trained them up on this procedure.
