A quick poll for everyone (be honest)
 

How long ago did you practice an autorotation? (either to the ground, or to the hover)

Thursday, to a hover.

Couple of weeks ago, to a hover.

I'm a CFI, so just about every day to the hover, and just today to the ground

Today, to a hover.

Last Saturday, to the ground, twice.

20th January 05, (nearly) all to the ground ;)

Feb 14th 05 13:00 GMT To the ground.

FI so most times I go flying one gets thrown in somewhere !

Autos to the ground.

As a FI in the UK part of the syllabus is to teach autos to the ground to all students, however am about to move Abroad, where they dont even teach autos to the ground for CPL's - always hover recovery.
Any thoughts on this?

Unless the wing stays still, I'm an engineer - so never. Have sat in on a few.

3 weeks ago, to hover.
Time to go out and practice again...time does fly

Friday 11 Feb MD500 5 to the ground
Wed 09 Feb S 300 15 to the ground

Helps being an FE and FI though.

Hats off to some of my clients who come out once a month to do some. Others only want to do them once a year !

43 to the ground so far this year. 9 today (R44/206L).
A must when doing a OPC and LST. Only if the conditions suit though. ie day light and grass to land on!
I tend to do a least 2 per LPC one for me and one for the licence holder.
R22 often end up to the hover unless there is 10kts+ wind to lean on.:ok:

What about all you Commerical Ops boys??

6 in a Robbo to the ground a few weeks ago when I last flew, 2 in a Squrriel the day before, again to the ground.

HH:cool:
