PPLON Senior Heliman Location: Mexico City
| Yesterday I was with my instructor doing new stuff for me...... I check my batt and seemed to allow a tank; not hard flying.... He was teaching to me the way to do Autos.... when tank was almost empty.... He did the last autorotation.....but he go to idle up to abort the auto (because strong wind)and he landed with idle up then .......... lost control over the heli .... was negative(-2 º) pitch at 85% throttle ... with windy condition.... the heli was balancing because the high RPM.the runway was over pitched ( it is in a hill), the risk of rollover by air was high!!!!... the heli didn´t keep the nose in wind... turned to 3/4 because the vib and High RPM...two times a ski go little up and settle again flat on runway .... for near 4 min we were waiting then gas was out and I then fresh air was in my lounges. fold blades and clean the Heli.
nothing.....happend.... everything was OK....
maybe a 2 sec more and it happened.... I'm a lucky guy
