How to Pay?

"In an auto rotation the transmission will disengage and the wind will turn the rotor backward, briefly stopping it." Reality is you first and foremost lower the collective to lower pitch to prevent it from ever stopping! He scared some people with that idea that it stops then goes in reverse. Gyro copter example should be used to teach the basic concept.

If he is rated for helicopter and honestly said that his license needs revoked. Lol. Maybe he meant rotor inflow or something

Ironic that you should mention that! Ran into him hanging around the FBO on my last lesson. He is now a CFII,CFI-G,CFI rotor, AGI, and A&P flying Pawnee's and a Schweizer 300 for crop dusting. Irony is that he was the one that told us/re-quoted the saying," In aviation, it's not what you know, it's who you know."

I'd love to be where he is at 20.
