Does the S92 initial and recurrent training program cover tail-rotor failures through to a successful autorotative landing? Seems to be an exercise that pilots have difficulties with on other aircraft types, to the point of reluctance on the part of some TRTO to include it in the LPC check, lest all their candidates end up failing.
Since out here in the bush we don't have the whole wide ocean, or 10,000' runway to land on, we're taught from day one to precision auto to a spot with T/R failures. One of the benefits of small helicopters I guess, but you guys have Level D sims that should allow for some pretty representative full on autos without a tailrotor.
FWIW, I feel better about the 92 now with this latest revelation than I do about the L2 coming apart at 2000'. Hazards of partial knowledge.
