After 1500 hours teaching in R22`s and various other types. It`s the first time I`ve heard that you lower the colective and reduce speed to 60/65 knots.

I always teach on entry to an auto its lever fully down and flare (not back to 60 knots) but back enough to save the rpm.
Sure your rpm might run high but you can bring it back down with the collective.

Better having too much rpm than not enough if the engine quits for real.
Once you`ve established in the auto then you can select 65 knots.

You`ll get away with reducing the speed back to 60/65 knots in a B206 but I doubt you would in a R22.
