Sorry, not shallow for me, although it is a tool in the armoury for those once in a lifetime occasions. Collective higher, further to dump it.......

Not only that, you should be flying into the site, not hovertaxying

250 fpm in a jetbox uses about the same power as that required to hover (assuming ground effect is available) so there's minimal collective movement anyway.
