- VladRussian2 13y agothe autorotation requires a highly trained pilot and it is an emergency situation. Failure of 1 motor/propeller out of 16 is like a "low gas" warning, time to think about where to conveniently and casually land, instead of immediately autorotating down to whatever lake or heavy forested mountain you happened to be flying over.
