  • This is a demonstration of what would happen if the engine quit while you were on approach to a mountain. This is only a simulation and was done under careful supervision but it demonstrates exactly what would happen. Leave a comment below if you knew a helicopter could do this.

    For those with questions, the blades can be kept spinning even without power (although they don't provide any thrust and the helicopter starts descending. Basically converting the height to blade spin, similar to leaves that spin as the fall down). This energy is maintained as long as possible. Once the helicopter is about to touch down, that stored energy is used up all at once to slow the chopper enough not to crash.

      @theendisnearbeware all of the above. It is a *potentially* dangerous maneuver if not done correctly, so when practicing over and over it could damage the aircraft, or at least put excess wear and tear on it. Also not all insurance options cover practicing full no power auto rotations. (I'm a helicopter pilot)

      @eco-flighthanggliding345 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @theendisnearbeware Yes exactly, when practiced over and over, on the training aircraft, it can cause undue wear and tear on the aircraft. Causing the maintenance department to become annoyed with you! There is really no need to take it all the way down to ground contact. Once you have arrived at a 5 foot hover, the maneuver is basically complete. No need to land hard and possibly ding the skids! Or strain the airframe.

    This comment comes from a CFII that had a right side strut fall completely off of a PA-28-181 during takeoff at GMU in Feb of 2015 and I landed safe with minimal damage to the right wing tip as it slowly settled onto the runway at about 48-50 knots.
    This is a great video of a simulate emergency and I agree 100% with the talking your way through it even when alone. Talking aloud makes you feel more like your following a set checklist and I feel it keeps my students calmer in emergency situations.
    Don’t confuse the talking with ATC communication. They can wait announce your situation and intentions quickly and clearly if you have time as this pilot did, but always fly the aircraft first. Aviate then communicate.
    Great video!

    Per your request in the description: I found this video after searching for "helicopter engine failure." I was talking with my father-in-law the other night and assumed that once a rotor craft engine fails, you fall. He thought there was some kind of tendency for the rotor to auto-rotate. I started thinking about it and started to theorize that maybe there's a pinwheel effect to the rotor. So long story short, no I didn't know a chopper could do this, but I found this video theorizing that it could.

    I crashed in an FH-1100 in July 1970 in the Alaska Range. I was a passenger (front) with a pilot and 3 men in the back seat. We lost the turbine just shy of a ridge (probably about 5,000 ft), so the pilot spun us downhill, but we hit the sloped side of the mtn 3 times. The fourth time we had run out of rotor energy and fwd speed, and ended up going in on a tundra covered terrace. The earlier impacts could have resulted in a bad tumble and roll- probably killing us all if the craft didn't bounce back up. The pilot cut his hand on the imploded bubble, and the turbine got ripped out of the mounts and caused a fire as the turbine spun to a stop. We were all very lucky. Pilot's skill and maneuvering saved our lives! Aside from the minor hand injury, we were all OK,

      @@PilotYellow The crash investigator came out to the crash site and told us not many people survive a helicopter crash. If the impact doesn't get you, the rotor usually will. We had a two bladed rotor, and one end dug a 5 foot hole in the ground and instantly stopped; I don't recall what happened to the other rotor but luckily it did not penetrate the cabin. We were very lucky. Another luck-factor- the skids with tundra pads bent up radically on the tips at the first impact. When we "bounced" down the side of the mtn, we hit brush 4 to6 ft high. I was sure we were going to tumble, but we didn't. I figure the bent up skids help deflect the brush.

    I worked in the Canadian Arctic during the 80's and 90's on the cold war era DEWLINE radar bases and saw many helicopters picking up fuel from caches or coast guard choppers picking up mail and supplies from our various stations. One instance that I remember was a Bell Jet Ranger 206 which was ferried to our station by a Bell 212 under slung after it had experienced dynamic rollover on a muddy river bank about 70 miles away doing some natural resources work. If you can fly choppers they are easy to fly until something goes wrong and it can get real ugly real quick as you are usually close to the ground and don't have a lot of time to figure out what's wrong before you are smashing and crashing on the ground. The 206 Jet Ranger was a write off and nobody got badly hurt but the engineer and pilot of the 212 said there were lots of good parts to be salvaged by the company which mitigated the insurance rates for the company. Good video of a simulated auto rotation showing terrified people that you can land a chopper without engine power and do no or minimal damage if executed properly.

But what about vertical autorotation then? Let's say, helicopter doesn't move forward, so before final touch it would be not really flare but rather soft blades angle change to compensate descending? Or without extreme maneuvre like flare there will be not enough of power saved during zero forward speed autorotation?

    Alot of people mistakenly think a helicopter falls like a brick if the engine quits. This doesn't happen so long as the blades continue to spin and if the helicopter is angled right the wind keeps the blades spinning. Without power the blades will not spin fast enough to maintain altitude or climb but they can spin fast enough for a slow and controlled descent. Angling the helicopter right is a little tricky if the helicopter is to horizontal the blades slow down too much and if the helicopter is too verticle it builds up a dangerous amount of speed. The pilot has to watch the rotor RPM guage and make constant minor pitch adjustments. You only get one chance at landing, if you try and pull up the blades quickly slow down and you drop like a rock, gaining altitude for a go around is impossible. A correctly done autorotation is much safer than gliding a fixed wing aircraft in with no engine because you can come in at a much lower speed and hit a much smaller target. I have heard small light helicopters glide alot better than some of the big heavy military helicopters.
