In my flight training we did every autorotation, regardless of if it was straight in or 180, in all wind conditions right to the ground. I'm very glad I did becuase alot happenes after the flare. A wise instructor once said, "if you arent going to make it, **** the spot, do a good auto" and I wouldn't understand that if I only knew how to get it to the flare.
My first job started with a check ride and an auto right to the ground. I got the job and others didn't. That should be reason enough alone.
