Done a million of them over the years. When I transitioned to the S76B, I did the endorsement training and later went to Flight Safety in West Palm for the sim training.

When it came to tail problems, the instructor insisted that only an auto should be attempted, demo'd one, and I then did one. I then asked him to back it back up the glideslope while I showed him how we dealt with them. I flew the approach to a slow, gentle controlled run-on straight ahead. He was flabbergasted, said "do it again", so I did.

He grinned, and said "I'll lose my job if I teach that, so now we go back to the auto."
