Landing .....................

Record the results of an 

autorotational deceleration and 
landing from a stabilized 
autorotational descent, to touch 
down.

X  If flight test data containing 

all required parameters 
for a complete power-off 
landing is not available 
from the aircraft manu-
facturer for this test, and 
other qualified flight test 
personnel are not avail-
able to acquire this data, 
the sponsor must coordi-
nate with the NSPM to 
determine if it would be 
appropriate to accept al-
ternative testing means. 
Alternative approaches to 
this data acquisition that 
may be acceptable are: 
(1) A simulated 
autorotational flare and 
reduction of rate of de-
scent (ROD) at altitude; 
or (2) a power-on termi-
nation following an 
autorotational approach 
and flare.
