Without filtering the ADSB data, it does appear the helo was in a low speed, moderate sink rate descent that was not autorotation sink rates, so it was a partial powered descent, roughly 20Kts GS, 800-1000FPM, in a turn. Seems an odd altitude to demonstrate a VRS recovery, and doing a demo or a practice in a left turn seems odd as well. Lousy ending.
