  recovery is affected, adjust controls for normal forward flight. A recovery path must always be planned, especially when terminating to an OGE hover and executed immediately if an uncommanded yaw is evident. Collective pitch reduction aids in arresting ... assessment of the altitude available for recovery. If the rotation cannot be stopped and ground contact is imminent, an autorotation may be the best course of action. Maintain full left pedal until the rotation stops, then adjust to maintain heading…

  Risk Management during Autorotation Training The following sections describe enhanced guidelines for autorotations during rotorcraft/helicopter flight training, as stated in Advisory Circular (AC) 61-140. There are risks inherent in performing autorotations in the training environment, and in particular ... degree autorotation. This section describes an acceptable means, but not the only means, of training applicants for a rotorcraft/helicopter airman certificate to meet the qualifications for various rotorcraft/helicopter ratings. You may use alternate methods for training if you establish that…

  Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Common Errors › Autorotation with Turns

  Autorotation with Turns Turns (or a series of turns) can be made during autorotation to facilitate landing into the wind or avoiding obstacles. Turns during autorotation should be made early so that the remainder of the autorotation is flown identically ... straight-in autorotation. The most common turns in an autorotation are 90 degrees and 180 degrees. The following technique describes an autorotation with a 180-degree turn. The pilot establishes the aircraft on a downwind heading at the recommended airspeed…
