About 10 years ago we had gone to Germany for a few days refresher training on the 105 simulator at Donnerworth(excuse spelling) and on completion the guys took the five of us up for full auto experience. over the airfield they just chopped both throttles and away we went. they didn't know us from adam. Excellent day they auto just like a gazelle, we remarked that we could just imagine someone coming here to UK and being allowed to do that. Not!
Have down more than hundred full (training) autos on BO 105 without problems, all i could say is the "brick !!!!house" is doing such autos without problems. BTW, BO105 and BK117 are the last twins i have done full touchdown autos. At first the desk jockeys stopped it on BK117 some years ago and meantime we are doing no twin touchdown autos anymore. Yeah, thats the right way to train the young pilots... Found some younger pilots in the last time without any touchdown auto experience. Seems to me this group is growing?
