Autorotation in UH-1H

[rmakowsky]

One issue with the module is the gigantic pitch coupling to the collective.  So when you lower the collective  your nose pitches down rapidly.  (On the other side, when you raise the collective, the nose pitches up rapidly).  

So when starting an autorotation, you lower the collective and the nose pitches down severely.  So much so that only a very strong aft cyclic input will keep the nose level so you can build RPM back.  Without a rapid pitch input you will be chasing the nose low attitude all the way to the deck.  

 

Pitch coupling of the magnitude in the sim, is not correct.
