Transcript of a Kenny Keller YouTube video demonstrating a straight-in autorotation in a Robinson R-44. Contains instructor-student dialogue about flying as a CFI, step-by-step narration of an autorotation maneuver (airspeed, rate of descent, flare), and brief promotional closing (free resources and sign-off).
I'm gonna go around, do a straight in auto perfect, and then we can go play and you can show me what you did with Jeff. Perfect.
Yeah.
Yesterday I ran a little bit long on that first one for sure.
On your auto.
On the auto, on the first one. But I was able to do the S turns and to get it right.
You know what's funny is now that you're a cfi, you're gonna find that you ride around all the time telling people what to do so much that when it comes time to do it yourself, you don't know how to do it. You kind of like go, all right, then you gotta put your money where your mouth is, right? And your student, when you do it and mess it up, they go, oh, well, you've been telling me all this time to not do if you just did it. And then you go, well, I'm a human being, right? So I goofed.
So I goof too.
But yeah, you don't. As a cfi, you get a lot of flight time, but most of the time you're not flying. You're not flying, you're riding around. Welcome to the world of cfi. Cfi, riding around, critiquing somebody else.
I enjoy the stew.
Warsaw traffic, helicopter one mike gravel right downwind for Runway nine, Warsaw.
I find it rewarding, though some, I mean, or I like to think that I find it rewarding, especially when a student learns something and you're able just to do this hang out, being able to correct the little details.
Warsaw traffic, helicopter, one lane gravel ride. Base training, final practice. Engine failure to the number nine Warsaw. Now there, I rushed that just a little bit. I could have taken a little more time, I agree, but I got 1350, I got 65. I want a little more air speed. I'm right close to zero my rate of descent, so I. I don't have the bunch to fix. All right, go around. So since I don't have a bunch to fix, I'm gonna go ahead and go with it because I feel good. I don't feel like I'm rushed. Zero rate ascent. Got my 70 perfect. I climbed just a hair, but I don't care. Climb just a hair, but I don't care. Exactly. Now we're gonna go in 1, 2, 3. Entering. And now I'm doing nothing, just sitting here. I pull a hair collective just a tiny little bit.
And this is what an auto should be like.
This is what it's exactly how it ought to be.
Passing 100, everything to green.
Start a gentle flare make it a bigger flare. Make it bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger. Close to going right over my spot. I like it.
I liked it too.

When you feel the pressure to fly, but know the right decision is to stay on the ground, hit the hogs no go and live to fly another day. Helicopter ground.
There a song called Downtown.
There is a song Downtown. There we go.
