Not sure how much power you can get from autorotation, but guessing it is small unless you descend like a shot duck. What ever happened to the GE turbofan with the external blades? I know it shed a blade and immediately went quiet.

45 minute: Not a holding pattern, it's a bad weather requirement so you could go find a better place to land. Don't know what was going on with the flagman, you generally call traffic over the local radio frequencies then " see and avoid".

The rules might be different for VTOL like it is for helicopters
