What is interesting is the distance, or percieved distance you can travel. I am currently finishing of the final few hours of my PPL(A) and also have about 700hrs PPL(H).
Having done a load of FW PFL's recently, I went back and did some Auto's in my R44, and it takes a bit of getting used to as to how far you need to be looking for that ideal landing site, as I believe FW's glide at about 10:1, as against 4.5:1 - so it does take some adjusting.
I rekon the best thing, is to make sure you are rally current with Auto's for all types you fly. I try to do 4 or 5 with an instructor every couple of months to keep my hand in.
