Flight training helicopter

Autorotation

This exercise should be repeated all over again until you feel real safe with that event. In order to safe the related climbing to altitude you may let the helicopter start at a specific altitude. Go to Modify simulation params from the Simulation menu or press the <F6>-key. Select the register General and modify the value Launch initial altitude to f.e. 50m. Adjust the wind to a direction that allows autorotation against the wind. Once you start the simulation the model immediately jumps to the launch altitude so you can start autorotating at once. After a landing or a crash it jumps back to the initial launch altitude.

In order to supervise the main rotor rpm please activate the Telemetry display. You may vary your position in order to train different approaches such as flat or wide.
