You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria. The following webinar may be of interest to you: "Autorotate and Live - Register to Attend in Person or go to Streaming Broadcast" Topic: An introduction/review of autorotations, followed by accident analysis using an actual event. On Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 19:00 Select Number: WP1561291 Description: For helicopter pilots, autorotation is our one basic emergency procedure. It's the quickest, safest way to the ground, and much of emergency training is perfecting a safe reflex autorotation entry. San Carlos Flight Center presents this special webinar to all pilots who wish to expand their knowledge of autorotation and helicopter operations. SCFC helicopter CFI Paul Harris will review basic autorotation concepts, including the FAA requirements for performing the maneuver according to the PTS. He will include basic aerodynamics of an autorotation, and how to utilize energy management to increase safety and awareness of the aircraft's position in and movement through space. Finally, he will present some useful mnemonics and memory aids for aurotation and recovery. Following the introduction to autorotations, Paul will present an accident analysis of a helicopter crash that seems to have been at least in part due to improper entry into autorotation. The seminar was created by the FAA Safety Team originally as a webinar (slides with audio) but SCFC will be presenting the seminar live using our streaming video capability, ordinarily reserved for SCFC members. Paul Harris is a helicopter CFI from the UK and has been instructing for just over 5 years and over 1,000 hours of dual instruction experience in Robinson R22 and R44 aircraft. Although he has training in management accounting, he prefers flying aircraft to flying spreadsheets. For the last four years he has been a SF Bay Area native instructing out of Golden Gate Helicopters in Hayward and Diamond Aviation in San Carlos. He recently joined San Carlos Flight Center to bring helicopter training to our members. San Carlos Flight Center was voted Best Flight School in the US in the 2013 AOPA Flight Training Excellence Awards. We are committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our evening safety seminar programs.
