Yeah, those 206 autos are way easier than R22. Even the R44 rotor inertia is way better than little Robbie. What a luxury, having that much time and inertia being couple inches off the ground for so long to get it right.. The only issue for power recovery could be the spool up time in turbines, but I'm too rookie to know turbines personally.

Savoia, the article Shawn wrote should be in one of the Vertical magazine issues.

Agree with vaqueroaero. As my high time CFI course instructor/'old timer' reminded, regarding doing off-airports autos, that the power recovery may not happen and therefore suitable place to set it as if for real, is important.
Night full downs? Hm. I wish I was that good to be comfortable with them in future. But I'm not military, so I guess I'd not get to do that.
