PREREQUISITE
Ground Lesson 11

OBJECTIVES
During this lesson, the student will be introduced to 180&amp;deg; autorotations and the effects of turns during autorotative descents.  The student will gain an understanding of settling with power and power failure at altitude procedures.

INTRODUCE 
L) 180o Autorotation with power recovery
M) Power Failure at Altitude
1) Maximum glide distance configuration
2) Air restart procedure


COMPLETION STANDARDS
The student will gain an understanding of the importance of attitude and RPM control during 180&amp;deg; autorotations.  During power failure at altitude, the student will understand the need to immediately lower the collective to prevent a low rotor RPM situation and techniques for controlling RPM during autorotative descents. They will learn to recognize and recovery from settling with power.
