Makes sense to me.
I seem to remember the controlled ditching brief we used in Hueys was that we'd come to the low hover, let everyone but the captain jump out, who would then move a reasonable distance away, turn the force trim on and try to get it so the aircraft would move away to the left as he jumped out the other way.
Something like that, unless it's brain cells I've killed in the meantime, which is a good possibility.
