On two occasions I saw this type.helicopter make autorotation into roadways due to engine flameouts. The first one went perfect without so much as a sneeze or hiccup. The second time.and a different helicopter .it went well until the.last couple seconds when the main rotor struck an overpass. The helicopter tipped.over and hit the floor hard ending tragically.
Man it would have been so much easier to learn auto rotations in the 47 , much slower and more time for the instructor to teach and students to learn. Once mastered then move on to other types. The 269 I learned on fell like a rock in autorotation lol lol.
@@gluebox1 Probably because the gas gets brought up way early in the air... Even though I can see where they are coming from not letting full engine out autos.
@@getsideways7257 Where is the gas brought on?. No one ever turned the engine off for practicing autos, but you can clearly see the clutch disengaging and the needles split when the throttle is rolled off.
@@gluebox1 And what happens, for example, at 1:01? I wasn't expecting an engine out autorotation, but I thought there would at least be a landing. Of what help this practice is going to be if the engine actually quits mid-flight some day?
@@getsideways7257 It's called a power recovery and is done after the flare, at which point, you have a fairly good chance of surviving, similar to what you'd do in a plane. Getting to the landing spot in a controlled manner is the primary objective. We do actually practice full-on autos (most schools don't!), but only on known surfaces. ua-cam.com/video/gqy_cWcwI48/v-deo.html
Great to see these amazing machines still working to prepare new pilots! Thanks!
Bell 47 what a fabulous helicopter
VERY WELL done! First 360 degree AUTO I’ve seen..regardless of make, model or type.
Nicely done!
This is superb! Thanks for sharing.
Well done! Keep the 47s flying
Greatly appreciated
Would sure like to hear the instructor's commentary.
I distinctly remembering it being "You're the best studen't I've ever had!" ;)
Helmet and mask, how crazy is that???
Wawuu ...best qfi

It change with altitude over the level of Sea, one time tô 2800 feet I make one with the 47 G5 and did descente vwry quicly
..the H269 does ‘fall’ a lot faster than this 47. The Schweizer 300’s are even faster..so it might seem.
Always c dat da alouette 3 is derived from the bell 47 greatest mahine of bell later the alouette
Hmm. When rpm drops. It’s scary. Careful with that exercise. Might not get out of it
It's not a Robbie.
that thing autos like a maple leaf, are you kidding me?!
The butterfly of helicopters... on steroids. !!
Looks like Lower Mainland, BC
Power recovery not the same as a touchdown auto
..so true. NO power RECOVERY on a full-down.
Got lots of time in these in the U.S. Army 50 years ago. These don't look like auto rotations though.
No? Why not?

Difficile auto rotation avec hélicoptères piston
No, turbine or piston not influencie, the line Bell is very slow for descent
