funny touchdown auto story
I was instructing in an Enstrom at one airport and a guy walked up and mentioned that he had flown in that particular Enstrom with a rather famous local radio station traffic reporter.
He described the flight he had and how much he enjoyed it, and how Joe had done an autorotation at the end of the flight. Feeling pretty good about my own abilities in autorotating I just nodded.
He then mentioned that at the bottom of the autorotation, they landed on the dolly (is that what you call it in UK/OZ? helicopter platform on wheels?).
In any case, I asked him: did Joe bring the power back in, and then hover to a landing on the dolly?
Nope - full down auto right to a landing on the dolly!
There were enough other stories about Joe (including his over dozen engine failures over the years) that I tend to believe the story...
