Landing
.....................
Record the results of an
autorotational deceleration and
landing from a stabilized
autorotational descent, to touch
down.

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.
