Dave now flies his R44 in the East Coast area. Here I am giving Dave his initial autorotation training. 

As you can remember or imagine, that first solo flight is intense but this student did a great job. 

If you like watching autos, here is another one. 

In this auto we did not get the ground speed totally stopped but with the reinforced extended skids we could have easily slid this one on if we had made ground contact. 

In this video we perform a 180 degree auto to hover. Remember that the goal is to have near zero forward speed when you level the helicopter prior to ground contact. I tell myself " Make it stop" as I enter the flair. To date I have been forced to make 19 to the ground autos due to some sort of mechanical failure over 35 years. 

Below is a video taken while giving phase ll flight training i a students 162F. The conditions were right so we took it all the way to the ground.
