Just did these Monday:
We fly in inhospitable places where often times the only place to go in the event of engine failure is real close, hence we teach what I call "hang time". This is where you bleed off speed in an auto and descend vertically then nose forward to get speed for the flare then touch down. The auto has a very steep profile.

Then move on to a 180 auto:

Then transition to a 180 with zero speed for the turn:
