POV Helicopter Autorotation | Schweizer 296C-1

What happens when the engine fails in a helicopter? An autorotation! Here’s what one looks like in action helicopter #autorotation #training #schweizer #pov #gopro #sportys

[@cessnafun5385]

That first warning sound indicated that the hot pockets were done.

[@Hanz_em]

Had me for a sec there lol

[@clxudzYT]

lmaoo

[@keithharley9729]

That was a power recovery. A little different to a full on autorotation. Power recoveries are useful in the beginning of learning but full on need to be experienced too.

[@KaisTheFireWarrior]

My school said they only do those with cfis

[@alphaalpha5007]

That's only in CPL and above

[@mattwilliams316]

My cfi said he has 640hrs and has never done a full down

[@alphaalpha5007]

@mattwilliams316 - cpl check ride has a full touchdown as one of the testing requirements, if I remember right. My bad that was for multi-engine helis, just checked the PTS. I had a memory as if I witnessed a full touchdown during one of the checkride, must have been an incorrect memory 😂

[@CaptnRich737]

At least, in the United States, a full touchdown auto is required for a commercial pilot license. The day I did mine I got lucky it was blowing like stink. It was able to do it with minimal flare after the initial pitch pull. Bell 47G model.

[@Destiny1m]

It is a simulated engine failure! There IS aut rotation ocurring while the engine is at idle speed. He simply added power at the end recover "with power" This is a a very good, and required practice technique.

[@DarkTwilightToby]

HELICOPTERS ARE SO COOL OMG

[@brandonsyatessr.3667]

I didn't realize you can practice for this. I thought it was like an "Ok, but did you die" kind of deals if it happened.

[@Soeks77]

It’s a common method used to land on an airstrip lmao, as well as if ur flying super fast or high and lose engine power, jus autorotate to maintain revs

[@airbus7373]

You can even practice full down autos where you leave the engine off until the ground. So long as you don't land too hard or fast the helicopter should be just fine

[@xbpbat21x]

​@@airbus7373"should be" is the key term. The low inertia systems can be tricky...if you flare to high...it's over.

[@djwashx]

Interesting

[@Levi-wk2hg]

​@@xbpbat21x the flare increases rotor rpm. If you're too high and pull too much collective to cushion the landing, it gets interesting.

[@diamondstar1200]

Those 269's really drop! I can have a cup of coffee on the way down in an R44.

[@jonathanarthur4719]

Definitely heard the power at the end

[@hotprop92]

Fld elev - approx 800ft Descent from 1500ft at approx 1700ft/min. Autorotation to power recovery, did snap the throttle open abruptly but it's a sim so well done.

[@RealChadSkeen]

Do you think this is a simulation or is that a term I don't know

[@HEMSJim]

@@RealChadSkeen Simulated engine failure

[@RealChadSkeen]

@@HEMSJim ah thanks

[@123ABC-Machine-Basics]

Yeah those are fun ! Flying and landing without a tail rotor ( simulated ) is a blast too !

[@sherifreda2383]

Absolutely beautiful

[@mundodoandrey19]

Quando começou a apitar, eu já iria querer pular do helicóptero.

[@Yaman-D-Chhaya]

This is recovery with power, but this is not full authorisation, In full auto rotation you don't add power but use the speed you gain to turn propeller faster, and use collective to flare nearing ground!! Try to do this without adding engine power yet touching down soft, great video dear, God bless you, Happy Landings!!

[@alphaalpha5007]

Flare was a little sloppy, but it is good otherwise. Added power little early.

[@seeum2098]

Calm down buddy

[@chegueipracomentar4175]

Essa pista tá mais rachada que terra de sertão 😂😂

Parece un mapa.aganla nueva ya es hora creo

[@BritishTightEnd]

That rotor brake is looking extremely pullable today 😂

[@toyotaWalsh]

Go for it Lol 😆

[@HiAnnMarie1722]

Worked with a helicopter co. And I asked all the right questions-the pilots got me an hour lesson- did an autorotation and found it easier with one less thing to adjust! Later on, had gone with one of the pilots (Vietnam Vet) up in a Jet Ranger with his friend and suddenly nosed over from 1000feet ! I was hanging onto my seat and thanked them- they hadn’t warned me!! Sheesh !

[@abdulb1669]

Absolutely beautiful 😅

[@TheOldMan37]

we run gimbals here power recovery at 300 agl 1 for the service letter 2 to avoid that kick at the end, especially in winds ie crosswinds may not have enough power at the end to recover from that kick ie enough pedal right away interesting to watch the differences in birds

[@Litleakers]

That runway is cooled 😂

[@jimmarcellus759]

I loved doing this in flight school so much that my IP used it to calm me down when I got up tight.

[@Jun36521]

Autorotation is the biggest show of chopper pilots by the way Don’t forget pedals

the beeping made my cats run away immediately

Great helicopters the schweizer 300 i have trained in theses,

I flew in a private helicopter today

[@malootua2739]

Jezus Christ that runway went through the dinosaurs extinction.

[@dmanduff9108]

Oof. Right in the danger zone of settling with power...always a pucker.

[@hotprop92]

Nice sim, they are getting to be very good

[@spyder027]

I hope your joking

[@hotprop92]

@@spyder027 I don't think sims do hairy legs yet but the external visuals appear to be simulated. The grass doesn't do rotorwash very well. I've seen light acft sims that you climb into with limited motions but realistic looking visuals. If that's an instructor sitting alongside then he's also being very nonchalant with his hand on his knee instead of close to the cyclic. I once knew a head instructor and his student who spent a week or so in a hospital lucky to be alive when they bashed a R-22 into a taxi way on a practice autorotation to power recovery that resulted in settling with power.

[@Tjita1]

So thats less than 20 seconds from about 700 feet. "Helicopters don't just fall out of the sky, they autorotate." Well...

[@eastendmafia1773]

I would like to see someone cutoff fuel and do this. It seems to me that even at flight idle and feathering props, it has to produce more lift rather than not having any thrust due to fuel cutoff

[@joserafaelgarciamorales8724]

Nice flying machine 🚁.

[@Aviation_Driver]

I like Autorotation

[@michaelj.nelson9253]

Sounds like my microwave beeps 😂

[@TheThnikkaman1234]

That sim runway needs to be demoed and repaved!

[@flybobbie1449]

I was waiting for it scrapping down the runway.

[@SuhailKhalidSAKW22172]

This was not an autorotation but a power recovery.

[@sportyspilotshop]

Those are not mutually exclusive. Most autorotations are practiced with a power recovery at the bottom (not a “full down”). But it’s still a glide - an autorotation - when the engine and rotor RPM needles split.

[@CH67guy1]

All them there cracks in the runway would never catch a skid on a full blown slide down the runway autorotation.

[@pedmondsonni]

I was watching the pedals at the end. Tail really wants to step out..

[@PranavThakare.]

Helicopter on runway 😂

Sink to left when approximate 5 feet because In ground effects

One time the helicopter was hovering over the threshold of the runway and I flew over him and landed, I announced my pattern he didn't even acknowledged me so there, Why block the runaway?

Is that Airport still operating??

[@jonslg240]

*LOL* you can *LITERALLY* hear the engine running.. Then when he SUPPOSEDLY turns his airspeed into LIFT, which is a point where the rotor loses a lot of RPM.. you can hear it SPEEDING UP. This is by far ABSOLUTELY NOT auto rotation. I feel bad for all the wannabe enthusiasts that are fooled by this, because it proves they know nothing and when they ever try to fly one someday they'll die.

[@Anonymous-hv9yw]

Exactly. Thing is with autorotation, there is no possible way you can create sufficient lift for an extended period of time without the rotor loosing momentum. If it was real autorotation, they would get lift but only for a decent second before starting to plummet to the ground. Im not sure if he turned off the engine kid flight and turned it back on, but that would put a strain on the engine and could damage it. Besides, you can hear the engine running constantly throughout the video. So this vid is a cap 🧢

[@nickybritain3661]

Looking at the gauge, it would appear the engine increased in rpm just before it landed, which is s bit odd, if there is no engine power to the blades! 🤪
