Dear Bladestrike.
I don't think that the company wants you to be at 50 kts and 100 feet going into a black, poorly lit cone site.

With no illumination other than reflective cones that would be a hairy ride at the bottom.

I think the idea is to start slowing down to translational lift at about .3 back and 250 feet and sort of walk-it-in from there.

The profile you mentioned works great in the day-time or at well lit helipad with some peripheral lighting for reference.
