     @stux You just need to jump up off the floor of theplane right when it hits down, works every time.

     @stux Interesting and related: did you know a helicopter can land safely from any height even with completely down engines.

     @freemo @stux

     Not *any*, no.
     There are regimes of altitude and airspeed where autorotation cannot provide a safe landing.

     @nlarson830

     If you are in those regimes then its pilot error.

     Thats a bit like saying a plane cant land safely if it intentionally nose dives right before landing (picking up too much speed).

     Obviously it only works if the airspeed are controlled by the pilot on the way down.
