Now there's a maneuver that only a REAL helicopter pilot would attempt!
How's the new family doing?

Weather going to **** and I had to make the runway with winds blowing

remembered my old USMC instructor telling me to just go inverted and
autorotate to get some altitude. Broke out on top, rolled right side
up and continued to an area where it was clear and unrestricted with
calm winds. Made a ho-humm landing and waited for more favorable
weather conditions at home base.
My question is can I log actual IFR?



'Go inverted and autorotate to get some altitude' - hey OSAB, can you
explain that out in words a simpleton like me can understand?
