2. What is the 'autoration freeze of death'? Why did you almost crash and almost kill soo many people in a helicopter last x-mas?

I got my helicopter pilot licence in 2001 along with Herve my partner. I rarely fly anymore when he became an instructor. SO when I feel flying, I usually go with him (not too safe to fly when you don't do it for a while, especially helicopters). One thing instructors do often when teaching how to fly is to cut the engine off, mid air. You need to react quickly by reducing the blades angles to minimum in order to have the heli glide to the ground, then do a nice flare and land smoothly thanks to what's left of the blades rotation. Thing is there is little space for errors, even when u practice. So, that one time, Herve cuts the engine, I react quickly enough (if you don't, u fall like a stone) and we start going down, 3 times as fast as the normal descend speed, which is normal, the ground aproach quickly and I froze. Paralysed, not moving anymore, we were going to crash. This happen when u are overflowed by informations / danger in flying. It was the first time for me and as it was me, Herve reacted and took back the commands a second later than he should have. I really saw the crash coming, but we only touched the tail... Herve clearly saved both our lives that day.

A few months after, we decided to give all employees of Totem a tour of Paris by helicopter for Xmas. So Herve fly them by group of 4 and I'm on the tarmac organising the thing. Once it's over, he offers me to fly the helico back to its garage, by the taxi way. Long story short, I was not use to that helico and I missjudged the wind wich caught my tail and made us spin real fast. Before I know we did a 360 and we're starting a new one. Herve took back the helicopter right before the third spin which is usually the last one before you touch the ground and destroy everything. Of course this is happenning with the entire TotemCash crew watching me...

Anyone wants to fly with me?
