Autosync, who said I attempted the climb at low-level?

Thanks for that info about engines failing during autorotation, because obviously there is no way I would have already known that! I attempted the collective climb while in autorotation with hard deck of 1000 ft AGL. So if the engine failed I had lots of time to recover, thank you for your concern none the less.

My point is merely that student should perhaps be shown this to be used as an absolute last resort to avoid a fence or a wall if autorotating for real. Surely it's better to lose a bit of speed close to the ground if it means you won't hit something.
