Lower the collective pitch control to descend, to maintain rotor RPM. When an engine fails, the helicopter must begin autorotation to land the helicopter. To do this, the helicopter must descend at a prescribed speed to maintain the RPM of the rotor, thereby producing enough lift to control the helicopter.
