Autorotation - No hydraulic, broken blades and on a hill
I was with Canadianbaken as Gunship. I've been shot hard during an attack pass. I lost hydraulic and my controls started to be very uncontrollable. I was RTB when the FIRE light lighted up and the low RPM tone alarmed me... I just started an autorotation, called Mayday, then pray...
Was so hard to keep controls, could not keep a stable 60kts and aim the road, I just finished my ride on a hill. I was so anxious to crash I forgot to jettison my weapons.
My copilot and me were safe and not injured.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing
