Kenny Keller demonstrates a 180-degree autorotation, the emergency maneuver pilots practice when an engine fails downwind. He locates the wind, enters autorotation, turns into it, and keeps rotor RPM steady with the collective throughout the turn.
Now, here we go, folks. We're going to show you a 180 autorotation. Basically what that is, is when you're downwind and you have an engine failure and you have to enter an auto rotation, you locate your wind direction and then you turn and do your auto rotation, of course, toward the wind. You always want to maintain your RPM with your rotor, your rotor RPM with the collective. And here comes Kenny for a 180 auto. And Kenny's entered his auto rotation, maintaining his rotor RPM with the collective, making his 180 degree turn to where he gets faced into the wind.
