If I were the CAA,
I'd mandate annunal demonstration of all engine-at-idle autorotations to 10ft skid height.
If you can't do that in all ships you were issued a TR go back to flight school.
Presumably at night as well as by day to provide adequate assurance that no-one will crash into a pub........no, didn't think so.

Heard a rumour that the transfer pumps create interference with the camera or its downlink and it is considered normal to turn them off - this would explain why an experienced pilot cancelled the low fuel warnings several times.
