Been there done that, only to landing, not hover. B206, H300 etc. You'd better have the throttle off, otherwise you'll overtorque at the bottom. Takes a fine eye to gauge the exact millisecond for that one sharp collective pull at the bottom. Clever instructor trick if you do it all the time. Wasted as a training technique to the unwashed that do a full on auto every 10 years or so.
