Maximum range airspeed in autorotation
Hello to everyone.
I have a question regarding influence of the wind in an autorotation. Is there a chance that changing the maximum range airspeed in the autorotation during headwind component of 20kts by adding 20 kts to the indicated airspeed would have any effect on the maximum range in the autorotation?
In other way, the maximum range airspeed is 69kts, we add 20kts to this value and now have 89 kts IAS. Shall we go further or less than just maintaining 69kts?
Would appreciate detailed explanation.
Thanks
