We did practice zero speed autos in the Bell 47, and they were very easy to do. I had to do one for real at night in an area covered by trees.

There was nothing magic about it, enter auto as normal and when near the ground, make a bigger flare than normal level the skids and land on. There was so much inertia in the blades it was almost like a landing from the hover.
