Teaching VRS

Hi All,

Quick question, is it standard practice to demonstrate Vortex Ring / Settling with power recognition and recovery during helicopter flying courses. I was never actually shown it, just briefed on how to avoid, recognize and recover. Is practicing entry into and exit from VRS beneficial for flight training and if so what is the best way to demonstrate it in a safe fashion (downwind, heavy, etc?)

I would put this in the flight instructors forum but rotorheads never let's me down!

Any guidance much appreciated, as ever.
