crab: if you carried out that demo in a robinson, you'd end up having a bad day. 2 seconds? no thanks!
Entering auto initially will probably save your life. Let the insurance company worry about the last 3 feet. I firmly believe that if you do nothing else but flare, level, cushion at the right height will probably be good enough to save your life. Not getting into auto in the first place if the donkey quits, makes everything else irrelevant.
