Down slope landings

Hi Guys,

I have recently transitioned into the B206. Coming from the R22/44 the inertia is just amazing!! But, that aside..

Lacking experience with this machine I also lack comfort in manoevring the tail rotor in confined areas. I could us some pointers or experiences in that field. Especially on down slope landings.
What if there is no way you can avoid a down slope landing (nose pointing down). Are there any tricks to determine whether the T/R is going to get too close to the ground when putting the heels of the skids down? The 206 has high skid gear by the way.
I am about to check the RFM to see the gradient from skid heels to stinger and I'll try to visualize that on touch down but are there any other ways?

Thank you,
GB
