Engine Failure Above 450 AGL |
|
Definition
- Lower collective
- Right pedal for trim
- Cyclic aft for 52 knots autorotation
- Pitch, trim, airspeed, rotor RPM (repeat)
- Raise collective to limit rotor rpm if needed
Power Recovery
- Flare at 50 feet
- When sinking raise collective level with forward cyclic to level, finish in hover
Full Touchdown
- Flare at 25 feet until slow
- level aircraft, cushion by raising collective

Definition
- Reduce power by lowering collective
- Adjust airspeed to 50 - 60 knots
- Left cyclic and collective pitch to limit sideslip
- Stay as high as possible, select a landing site
- If outside H-V, close throttle and perform autorotation, if hovering at 7 feet or lower, do Engine Out at Hover (hovering auto). In between or inside H-V, pray.
