Camp Freddie,

We don't know. I'll be testing to determine that later this year. However, if you can start the engines in less than one minute and can reduce your rate of descent in an autorotation to 1500-2000fpm, then its a safe bet that your altitude loss would be less than 2000' when you have one engine helping.
