9000 hrs TT now. CH53 pilot USMC, Vietnam 70-71. You are truly amazing with your energy management and NR control. Sink rate in a CH53 during an auto, is 6000 rpm plus. Yikes.
I haven't even begun officially learning to fly helos, just watching @FlyingMAir and playing "realistic" helicopter video games, and this is just wild, even after watching a bunch of people learn and practice autogyro. That's absolutely amazing!
Hey John! I just got my CFI and I’m watching you do these autos and it’s blowing my mind. Can you explain to me how you are doing autos like this? I’d be really interested in learning from you!
How much wind was there that day? It must of been a steady 20-30 knots for that maneuver! Something they don't teach at the Robinson safety course for sure.
Could you imagine doing this on a checkride? DPE: Show me a 180 auto with a power recovery. :: Flies 180 backwards with fulldown power-off landing. Fails checkride.
I instantly subscribed, wow! Goals! Did you teach Chuck Aaron or did he teach you? 🤣🤣🤣 I hope I obtain that level of mastery one day. Keep doing what you're doing!
As a low hour student pilot I actually don't understand how this is possible. Does the rotor itself really carry enough energy in it to stop the descent by itself without the need of a flare? I always thought the flare was the primary means by which to arrest the descent, the raising of the collective only being to cushion the landing. I do study on an R22 though, so maybe an R44 does have that much more inertia in its rotors.
He is flaring as you would in a normal auto, he’s just doing it backwards. Fly the disc, doesn’t matter where the tail is so long as air is moving through and over the rotor disc. The drag from the tail being behind or to the side is significantly different but otherwise the disc doesn’t care what direction the nose is That said the r44 does have larger blades than the 22 so it does hold more momentum which gives you more time at the bottom which to ‘fine tune’ where you put the skids
Because they don't get to choose to have the engine failure over a nice flat, open area. When you look at crashes from autos, assuming they did a halfway decent approach and flare, two end results you see a lot are the tailboom chopped because they were sliding and they pulled back on the cyclic, or tipped over because they were sliding on rough or slanted terrain... The good news is even in those situations, the people are generally OK...
I also noticed that John had almost zero fuel in the ship. John was flying a very light ship that day. I suspect this maneuver would not be possible or safe with full fuel.
Regular people don’t realize how INSANELY impressive this is. I’m about finish IFR training and start commercial. This is mind blowing!!
Update: Passed my IFR checride! First day of commercial was today!!
@@calebaustin1486congratulations man! 🎉 welcome to the club. Hope you are enjoying it 😃

You paid attention in Physics!
Wow incredible precision on your full autos !
Really appreciate in the future you can focus on the collective movements
Thanks for sharing
sebdiazs hi and thank you. Let me see if there’s a mounting method that would allow that
I’d love to be able to see the gauges so I can watch airspeed etc. from that angle it looks like a steep backwards decent. Nice skills!!!!
With extreme precision you landed on an exact spot in an autorotation twice. You trained at the factory itself?
As a newly minted rotary pilot, I laughed out loud and literally said… “That’s dope!”
Just the most impressive video about autorotation! Bravo 👏🏼

This is so impressive, well done🤘🏼
Love the cone setting bit
Whaaaaat the actual... I don't even know what happened with how fast that was. Truly amazing.
Professional knowledge. Congratulations!
I am very impressed with what you do with your R44
That's crazy! Well done!
shake my head every time, but I'm always smiling thinking about it
so awesome

Hi , thank you for contacting me. I recently got my CFi as well , and would be happy to fly with you. You can contact me at jeast458@yahoo.com
That's pretty awesome
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Awesome John 🤘🏼
Awesome!

F******g amazing!!!!! I’m inspired.

Fails checkride.
Nice job!

Remarkable aircraft control! Bravo zulu.
Insane skills
Wow congras bro
that cone intro !!
You know this guy is good just by the witches hat positioning!
Pure talent 👏
Skillz!!!!!
Some would say that from the looks of the square toe cowboy boots and denim jeans that he is probably Chuck Norris.
Wow!
Mind is blown.. i cant even fathom this.. And i can barely pull a 180 auto at 65 kias. 😂
Is there anyway you could get footage of the instruments and controls??
Maybe someday. I didn’t have a 360 camera when I did these so I don’t have anything if the controls or instruments right now
Omg! The precision in this is soo amazing. Just wow!
WOW

Must have to carry his balls around in a dump truck ! Instant subscribe 👍🏼
skill
Super
Damn…..
Awesome , Autos in reverse with near zero forward speed,,,,but why when the engine quits pilots tend to crash ??
Because they don't get to choose to have the engine failure over a nice flat, open area.

1911 in your R44. Beats a glock in your rrari any day.
Tim Tucker and everyone in Torrance are probably cringing when they see this.
I don’t blame them , I was cringing while I was doing it.
I’m impressed…and I’m not easily impressed.
bruh

what tha fak?
