How does a UK trained pilot end up with rotors not turning
Might I suggest that many of our most experienced and best trained twin engine pilots may well be quite unpracticed in sudden double engine failure and autorotation?
I wonder how many twin pilots
ever carry out an auto to the ground as opposed to a powered recovery to the hover? OK, I'm a bit out of date, but I never did on twins. I never heard of tins being autorotated to the ground - it was just never done. Has this changed? And in light twins there are no/few simulators so it is just not something anyone ever gets to do.
Double engine failure was something that was just not anticipated - or trained for except in theory. If you never flew a single you simply never practiced it; you only got one failure at a time. Perhaps this is an out of date observation? Perhaps not?
