Agreed DB - on N3 and 412EP I have either flown with IAS coupled and manual collective or ILS/GS coupled just helping it with a small collective reduction at top of drop when the GS captures - all flown between 90 and 120 kts. Or just done it the old fashioned manual way

If I remember the accident report, they were already behind the drag curve of reducing IAS (not enough power applied) before they reached MDA (which is what they would presumably have had the ALTA set to)
