Jul 7, 2003 Accident Substantial Waimea, HI
InjuriesNone
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

The certified flight instructor (CFI) delayed remedial action in response to the excessive descent rate initiated by the student during the practice autorotation. Also causal, was the CFI's inadequate supervision of the student during the flight. A possible tail wind condition and the pilot identified gusts were factors.
