Hey FAA,...you missed one! :-)

They made such an effort to placate to the rest of you and eliminate the term "Settling with Power" from their vocabulary (**** even Robinson got rid of it), but I guess they weren't quite that thorough, as I found this in the description on Steep Approaches,...while looking for that ETL vibration from the other thread,...ha ha!

A steep approach permits entry into most confined areas and is sometimes used to avoid areas of turbulence around a pinnacle. An approach angle of approximately 13° to 15° is considered a steep approach. [Figure 10-4] Caution must be exercised to avoid the parameters for settling with power (20–100 percent of available power applied, airspeed of less than 10 knots, and a rate of descent greater than 300 fpm). For additional information on settling with power, refer to Chapter 11, Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards
Anyway, just found this amusing.
