R44 practice autorotation(s) PHJR

This morning and the last few days have been “Kona Winds” (Leeward winds) and occasional MVFR/IFR on Oahu. Barbers Point NAS now known as Kalealoa usually is a bit dryer which allowed a few straight in practice autorotations under the broken ceiling.

Keep the comms open on your coast to coast flight. And take your time, even if it means delays. Aloha Joe, and best wishes to you.

(The rotorcraft checkride Monday PHNL will count as a flight review which is a nice little perk.)
