  John Garabedian auto training
Posted by: Orv Neisingh - 08-25-2026, 03:50 PM - Forum: Orv Neisingh - No Replies

Here John is learning to perform autorotations in his 152 Exec. He now hosts the May Hay Day helicopter gathering in North Carolina and flies his Bell 47. The video is old but you get the gist.

  Another 180 auto while instructing in another students 162F
Posted by: Orv Neisingh - 08-25-2026, 03:01 PM - Forum: Orv Neisingh - No Replies

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.

  180 degree auto to hover in 162f while instructing
Posted by: Orv Neisingh - 08-25-2026, 02:58 PM - Forum: Orv Neisingh - No Replies

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.
