I'm not asking that question, and before shooting from the hip you would be well advised to read the original post at the start of this thread.

There's a lot of knowledge and experience here, and I think we're all well aware of when to use cyclic in an auto.

Do you always need aft cyclic entering auto? Of course not, it depends on the situation, so go back and read what everyone's said before pontificating.

Ever flown a fixed float-equipped Bell 205 or 206? You need a bunch of forward cyclic entering auto to stop them tipping over backwards, which is what would happen if you applied aft cyclic because of all the extra surface area forward of the C of G that wants to pitch you up like crazy as the rate of descent builds up.
