Learned how to do one of them today, and a zero airspeed peadle turn auto. Basically you get into an OG hover. In our case about 1000ft atitude. Get into a hover and go into an autoration (no engine) and get it to your crash landing spot.
We never did them at Glacier. Not sure why, but I think because it isn't a requirement. It's good experience though. I know what to do in an OG hover now if my engine quits. The peadle turn auto is where your ass is to the wind in a hover and you have to turn it around into the wind and get to your spot.
I'm sore tho. We nailed about 20 autos... which is all friction-less flying so the controls are stiffer... plus Im naturally tense cuz it's not the most relaxing training.
=) I saw sea turtles the other day. That was cool.
