I've done about 700 or 800 hours of instruction in 22's and 44's (mostly 22's). This has included PPL, CPL, and recurrent training.

To teach entry and spot selection/accuracy:
-throttle chops at cruise in the training area, unannounced (eventually) and taken to a power recovery in the hover. The throttle was returned to 104% in the late flare, not the auto.

To teach the final few seconds:
-autos to a prepared surface (ie runway) with run-on in low wind conditions.

There has been the odd bumpy landing but I have never felt on the verge of rolling one over or losing a tailboom.
