I learned in the F28A also and for stuck left we would come in about a foot off the ground, hold collective, roll on throttle to swing the nose to the center line at about a foot off the ground, then drop the collective an perform a straight on running landing. If you swung the nose over the center line, you could get another shot if you had enough runway. Stuck rights were a piece of cake, go around, weathervane, lower collective and throttle, and do a straight in running landing. I know a lot of people no longer train to the ground, but back when we did all the time and I think we were better off for it.
