Narrative:
While conducting a private pilot checkride for rotorcraft helicopter; we were making right traffic for runway 11. After scanning for traffic and only hearing one airplane call crosswind 11; I made my radio call and conducted a simulated engine failure resulting in a 180 autorotation. At about 70 feet AGL and directly over the numbers for runway 11; a cessna flew directly underneath us on final approach. He then executed a touch and go; while I terminated the autorotation. Vertical distance was about 40 feet. We never heard any transmissions of his position after crosswind from the previous takeoff. We had scanned the area; though he was too low on final for us to see him in addition to not hearing him make a call on his position.
