Seems a bit like the max range auto technique we practiced in the Blackhawk...which was intended to result in a landing with some forward speed still on.

Imagine, Robinson teaches a manoeuvre that wasn't cleared in a controlled flight test environment. Boy the lawyers will dive on them like vultures on a carcass.
How long ago was that accident?
