No significant difference, really. Lower the cab until one skid in contact, counter the rotational effect around the skid contact point and feed in 'up slope' cyclic until the rest of the undercarriage makes contact. centralise cyclic on the MMI (mast moment indicator).
This last statement is new to pilots of rigids in that they are getting feedback from the bending of the rotor mast. Comply with FLM limits and the bargraph (135) stays green (ish!) and your safe. The MMI is not relevant while NOT in contact with the ground.
The 105 has an analogue meter I believe, as an MMI.
