Very interesting. I have noticed that most of the techniques suggested about using the non moving spot on windscreen etc are not taught by my instructor. In fact, really the only thing my current instructor has taught me is to cut the throttle, lower collective and maintain heading with pedals, rpm management, pick the spot (vaguely), and how and when to flare and level skids. Beyond the basic controls of the maneuver, he has given me nothing on actual technique... I really appreciate all of your help. Autos have been embarrassingly frustrating for me. I started autos at around my 20th hr of flight time, and I am currently at 75 and am no better off really... Embarrassing... let me say it one more time... Embarrassing...
Thanks again everyone
