Sorry I'm not really a rotary wing pilot, question for me is how does a low inertia helicopter react when starting an autorotation into wind (as usual and best practise I suppose) but then being forced to fly a U-turn into downwind. I presume there could be some loss of energy/rpm? Wind was 300/7, but just a huge complex building in that direction (Ennoch centre) from the area were the real trouble started; landable ground all downwind..(car park, Glasgow Green). Could such a 180 turn mess up an ar at very early stages despite a successful entry? thanks for any answers.
