erjdriver Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 For practice rotations, you just cut the throttle to idle right? I tried it and there wasn't much of a needle split between engine and rotor rpm? Are there some instructions for the huey? I've been trying to level off around 70 feet and seems to be way too low. Also, actual engine out behavior (fuel off) and practice seems to be quite different in terms of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert31178 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I have been flying with 229th and it seems that the practice they use is to cut the fuel off. It seems that there might be some residual power available, thereby making your "auto" a power assist assault style landing. Try that out and see how you like it! Oh, do it near an airfield so you can get on ground power in case your batteries die, as they like to do sometimes in colder climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjdriver Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I tried "practice auto rotations" by setting the the throttles to idle - but i don't see the needles split - the engine rpm is still high. any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You don't confuse throttle with collective by any chance? :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fury_007 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I usually: 1) Turn off the governor (ermergency governery mode) or something like that 2) Lower the throttle to idle 3) Lower the collective to the floor 4) Pitch for airspeed around 60 knots 5) flare and add collective to cushion down like a boss. Check it (although not that pretty, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman1330 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 No need for anything fancy, like governor manual or fuel off. Just roll the throttle to idle. That's how it's done in real life, so that if you botch it you can roll the throttle back up and overshoot. It will give a very small advantage over having the engine completely off, only on the bottom end at low RPM (during the cushion). Otherwise, you will see the N2 split from the RRPM if done properly.

ESA Dodo Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm Sorry, but bringing throttle to idle is not properly simulated. Engine needle should go around to 4000 rpm and not follow rotor rpm movements. Today I have also made a test for an airborne engine start and starting with the throttle at iddle (that is not the normal emergency procedure) makes the engine N2 needle go up towards the rotor needle.

I've practiced them in the past and never noticed any problems.

Robert31178 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I was told about the throttle roll of not working as it should for auto practices by the guys over at the 229th. That's where I first heard to use the fuel cut off switch, and it is helpful in practicing this maneuver. ~S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
