Engine offs to the ground

I have been flying helicopters for almost ten years, instructing part time for 3 - 4 years but still not comfortable carrying out EOL's to the ground. I will only go to the ground if there is a 15 knot plus wind and dont actually shut the throttle intill i level the ship 6 - 8ft.

I believe the EOL's to the ground should be demonstrated regulary but suspect alot of instructors don't carry out this exercise due to obvious reasons.

How many of you do / dont carry out this exercise.

By the way i fly R22 / R44
