When I went to flight school early 80s probably 50% of landings were one autorotation or another…including low level low airspeed 100ft/40knots for the Scout track, day and NVG. Annual A part check rides also often included an Auto to the ground if the unit IP was checked out and approved.Of...

Keys only came about when a UH-1 was stolen and landed on the White House Lawn…

Sadly it works that way in in Tort 101 but not so much in the real worlds of trial lawyers…in my case an unknown maintenance company, an FBO who happened to be on my home field and never as much touched my Arrow, and Garmin all sued and not a single Garmin product in the aircraft. All had to...
