I also tried a heavy autorotation landing using maximum onboard fuel and with 2200 kg extra fuel in fuel tanks (heaviest payload you can use)! Which adds up to a decent rate of 15 m/s in autorotation... :music_whistling:

 

And after a few tests I managed to do autorotation landings with less than 3 G (which i read somewhere is the rated maximum stress on the Ka-50?!).

From what I've read on the internet covering autorotations of helicopters is; failing to reduce collective within the first seconds would slow down the rotors until they become stalled and then it would be impossible to regain control! (Is this correct?)

 

But in Ka-50 there isn't such a problem, one can have the rotors in 7 degree angle without stalling the rotors and whenever one wants one can reduce collective and slow down the fall.

 

Is this a realistic behaviour of coaxial rotor helicopters?
