I think Megan has it and UKCP has misread your description. Some types specify a delta power application above that required to hover at a certain height - more like 10 ft, not 5-6m but I accept height perception as pax is difficult. having established the power required - normally as Torque figure but on some modern types a non-dimensional value, on a First limit Indicator or Power Indicator, the aircraft is lowered back to a wheels light state - which will require less power - and then the delta application applied. E.g at 10 ft you require 80% torque and the procedure is to apply 10% torque above that value, but you lower down to wheels light and only need 75% torque. The actual value you pull to will be 90% torque, not 85%. Make sense?
