practice autos

Ignoring the last sentence of Nigel's post, he's absolutely right.

The number of of R22s that crash practicing for an engine failure outweigh the number that crash after an actual engine failure -- by a LOT. (Maybe Veeany has the stats?)

Last Thursday I was visiting a very experienced instructor in hospital who crashed in April this year whilst practicing autos.

he's 42, and is now paralysed from the waist down.

It's such a waste, and I think it's about time the PPL syllabus was reviewed.
