The DCP may brief the candidate to use a particular aiming point for autorotations, or a limited
area on the airport. The autorotation will terminate in a touchdown or power recovery, depending
on the wishes of the Air Operator. The management of the particular aspects of the power
recovery is not assessed, as it is neither a normal nor emergency flight manoeuvre, but a training
artificiality.
