Hi to you all,
I did my first full down autorotation yesterday however it was not my intention. It was not so bad afterall. I was busy doing my renewal on a R22 Beta 2 We did a few auto's with the instructor cutting the throttle and me doing the auto. The instructor added throttle everytime after I leveled the aircraft. We then did a few hover auto's with the instructor telling me to keep the throttle in the indent after he closed it when I cushion the landing. This was to keep the engine at idle when doing the landing. We then flew a circuit again for one last autorotation. The entry was no problem with the instructor managing the throttle again. At the bottom I flared, then leveled the aircraft and started to pull collective to cushion for a landing and then it happened. There was no power added. I did the only thing left and that was to land the aircraft. The landing was not to bad at all. We did not even move forward. I then asked the instructor why did he not add power. He replied that he tried but I had the throttle locked in the indent the same as in the hover auto!!!! It might have been a problem with me locking the throttle but I surely passed my checkride! Regards Hennie |
