Hot Damn!

There's no way that is an auto rotation, still an impressive landing though.

No way that's extreme weather either. Unless you consider 1 metre swell 'extreme'. That's literally about as calm as it gets on open water.

I can't find a video, but the Canadian Navy lands in weather worse than that because of a very simple toy (that you yanks refuse to adopt because you didn't come up with it).

The helicopter dangles a strong cable, with a hook up, about 10 metres long. Ship's crew feeds the cable to a winch, pilot gives full up-lift while the winch drags him down. Perfect landing every time. The nickname for the device is a Bear Trap, but I'm not sure if that's the official name.

PPfftt... I used to do that all the time in Battlefield 1942.

Most amazing, there wasn't one bead of sweat on his face.

Oh and uh, how do you "simulate" an auto-rotation? It's either powered or it isn't and that landing was most certainly done under power.
