Obviously time to add a sobering thought to the conversation... unlike
a plane, a helicopter has no aerodynamic properties whatsoever unless
the rotors are moving. So if your engine seizes in a plane, you have
a hope of gliding to the ground in relative safety. If it seizes in a
helicopter[1], you're going to start plummeting.

[1] To be pedantic, if it seizes *and* you can't disengage the rotors.
Rare, I admit, but nonetheless... Enjoy your lesson :-)
