Hovering autorotation: hold heading, slight settle, cushion with collective, land level.

Enter autorotation (collective down, airspeed, RPM, spot); always know your landing spot.

Multiengine helicopters only — N/A to the single-engine R44.

Powered flight, descent > ~300 ft/min, airspeed below ETL. Adding collective worsens it.

Forward cyclic to regain airspeed/ETL (or Vuichard). Prevention: keep airspeed up, limit sink.

Lower collective and manage throttle/power per POH; condition a response to the low-RPM horn.

Smoothly lower the collective — not opposite cyclic.

Immediately apply gentle aft cyclic to restore positive G BEFORE any lateral cyclic; never abrupt forward cyclic/pushover (mast-bumping risk).

Uncommanded yaw at low airspeed/high power in certain winds; pedal, reduce collective if able, gain airspeed.

Control by instruments, climb for terrain, turn toward VMC, get help; don’t scud-run.
