I had the good fortune to train at a time when almost all return flights to the training airfield were autorotations to the ground with the engine at idle. We became quite proficient.

These days the only autorotaions I do are in the simulator once a year from 3000', day VMC, runway straight ahead with plenty of warning and 9/10 times the Nr drops to the low 80%'s before recovery and occassionally I still mess up the landing.

I would not like to imagine a scenario of losing both engines at night at 1000' over a city in a steep turn.
