NTSB records 1
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Robinson Robinson R22 Beta · operated under 091
The failure of the pilot to maintain the proper airspeed during the practice 180-degree autorotational landing and his failure to maintain main rotor rpm resulting in a hard landing. A contributing factor in the accident was the delay by the designated pilot examiner to take the controls from the pilot after recognizing that the airspeed and main rotor rpm were low.
