I personally don't like the term "settling with power". In some ways it is correct, but to be pedantic isn't that what we do when we land ??
We don't land in autorotation (at least I don't), so therefore when landing, we let the a/c settle using power.
During some re-current training (Hughes 500D), my instructor and I did some VR work. We went up to about 4,000 agl and slowed down to below trans lift, and began a descent. It was quite interesting to watch the vsi begin to rise, even though we were increasing power. We lowered the power, then eased the cyclic forward. Once the shaking eased, and airspeed started to recover, we flew out of it.
