[AccessD] But only Partly

Only if you are below 150 ft.
Above that, you are dead.

One of the reasons I will never fly in one.  :-)

I have been in a single engine plane that the engine failed
in.  We were able to glide to a landing strip and made it
without any real problem. T-38 trainer. Gliding is their
backup system.

Auto-rotation on a chopper only works to a point.
