Where does the torque come from if you are autorotating?
Aha, I asked him this. He said the application of 'some' collective in the flare would produce torque sufficient to swing in around 180 degrees. I've never tested out the theory of not applying pedal in a normal auto flare, so I wouldn't know how much it would spin in that sort of situation....nor do I intend trying!
Maybe a confusion with a similar technique for a downwind "quick-stop" practiced by some instructors (mainly US?).
TT
I hope so, the bragging rights at stake are enormous! Yes, he did mention it was mostly in the US schools....
