Mi-8

Mi-8 POH states 75%, I have never landed in auto-rotation with less than 85%, but friend of mine experienced 82% (flight engineer later sad that it doped to 79%) during auto-rotation on maintenance test flight. Luckily they had enough altitude to regain rotor RPM, rate of descend was around 6000ft/min.
